Partnership Announcement
A new agreement will integrate BRITE’s AI Smart Cooler technology with Cantaloupe’s Seed Pro and Seed Markets — so operators can bring AI-powered, grab-and-go coolers to their accounts and manage them through the vending management system they already trust.
GASTONIA, N.C. — August 19, 2026 — Cantaloupe, a 365 Retail Markets company, and Weweimi (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. have signed a services agreement to integrate and certify Weweimi’s AI-enabled Smart Cooler technology for use with Cantaloupe’s Seed Pro and Seed Markets software platforms. That technology reaches North American operators through Automated Services International, Inc. (ASI), which distributes it exclusively under the BRITE by ASI™ brand.
Weweimi’s North American technology and commercialization entity, SenseBox, LLC, supports the deployment and expansion of these Smart Cooler solutions across the region. In North America, SenseBox solutions are distributed exclusively by ASI under the BRITE by ASI™ brand.
ASI President Joe Loparco and SenseBox Director Larry Akramongkolrojn led the agreement negotiations, with ongoing support from Adam Cook of 365 Retail Markets.
What this means for operators
Once the integration rolls out, adding AI Smart Coolers won’t mean adding another system to manage:
“This integration is the single most important development in our nearly two-year relationship with SenseBox. It opens the door for us to work with our extensive, long-standing independent operator base — many of whom use Cantaloupe’s industry-leading vending management system and have no intention of running multiple systems. We are grateful to our partners at Weweimi and SenseBox for the substantial investment they are making to achieve this objective, and we look forward to rolling it out in the near future.”
Joe Loparco
President, Automated Services International, Inc.
“At 365 Retail Markets, we are committed to giving operators the flexibility to adopt innovative technologies without disrupting the workflows and platforms they rely on every day. By integrating Weweimi’s AI Smart Cooler technology with Seed Pro and Seed Markets, we are expanding the range of solutions available to our customers, helping them unlock new revenue opportunities while continuing to manage their businesses through a single, trusted platform.”
Jeff Dumbrell
Chief Revenue Officer, 365 Retail Markets
“We are excited to collaborate with Cantaloupe and ASI to expand the use of AI-enabled Smart Cooler solutions in the North American market. By combining Weweimi’s technology development capabilities, SenseBox’s North American commercialization and integration expertise, Cantaloupe’s software ecosystem, and ASI’s strong distribution network, this collaboration will maximize the value of our Smart Cooler solutions and help more operators benefit from improved operational efficiency, greater product visibility, and a better customer experience.”
