Automated Services International to distribute AI Smart Cooler solutions in North America under the BRITE by ASI™ brand

Malvern, PA., August 19, 2026 — Cantaloupe, a 365 Retail Markets company, and Weweimi (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. today announced the signing of 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.

Weweimi’s North American technology and commercialization entity, SenseBox, LLC, supports the deployment and expansion of its Smart Cooler solutions in North America. SenseBox solutions are distributed exclusively in North America by Automated Services International, Inc. (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.

“This integration is the single most important development in our nearly two-year relationship with SenseBox,” said Joe Loparco, president of Automated Services International, Inc. “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.”

“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,” said Jeff Dumbrell, chief revenue officer at 365 Retail Markets. “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.”

“We are excited to collaborate with Cantaloupe and ASI to expand the use of AI-enabled Smart Cooler solutions in the North American market,” said Larry Akramongkolrojn, director of SenseBox, LLC. “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.”
