Datalogic has officially opened orders for the new Joya™ Smart+ self-shopping solution, expanding the company’s self-shopping technology portfolio and introducing a completely new approach to AI-powered loss prevention in retail.
Available for order from April 29, 2026, Joya™ Smart+ is the world’s first self-shopping device that combines advanced scanning technology with an AI-powered rear camera, enabling real-time monitoring of the shopping cart. The system helps identify missed or incorrectly scanned items during the shopping journey, supporting a more accurate and seamless self-shopping process.
AI-powered loss prevention directly in the shopping cart
The biggest innovation of Joya™ Smart+ is its AI-powered rear camera, working together with the scan engine to monitor shopping cart contents in real time. The solution helps detect both unintentional mistakes and potential loss situations during shopping, reducing the need for additional checks and rescans at checkout.
This helps retailers reduce shrinkage, streamline checkout operations, and lower operational stress for store staff. The result is a smoother shopping experience for customers and a more manageable workflow for retailers.
Smartphone-like and intuitive user experience
Joya Smart+ is designed to be simple and comfortable to use. Its smartphone-like interface makes the device intuitive even for first-time users.
The redesigned ergonomic form factor integrates both the scan engine and AI camera into the back of the device, allowing shoppers to comfortably scan items while simultaneously viewing information on the display. This reduces wrist movement and makes the device more comfortable to use throughout longer shopping journeys.
In addition, Datalogic’s high-performance scanning technology ensures fast and accurate barcode reading, even from damaged labels.
A modern and immersive shopping experience
Joya Smart+ supports GS1 Digital Link technology and Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities, allowing shoppers to access real-time product information, promotions, and additional content before placing products into the cart.
The Auto-Scan feature enables fully hands-free shopping, making the overall shopping experience even faster and more convenient.
Support for Wi-Fi 6E and infrastructure-free indoor positioning also helps shoppers navigate the store more easily while supporting a modern connected retail environment.
Faster checkout and fewer queues
Joya Smart+ helps significantly streamline the checkout process. Integrated NFC enables Scan, Pay & Go functionality, allowing customers to complete payments directly on the device without needing to visit a separate checkout station.
Combined with high-speed scanning, instant visual feedback, and a user-friendly interface, the solution helps reduce queues and accelerate the overall shopping process.
Designed for long-term retail performance
Joya Smart+ is built for modern retail environments where durability and reliability are essential. Its rugged IP54-rated housing provides resistance against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for intensive daily retail use.
Wireless charging on both devices and cradles helps minimize maintenance needs and downtime, keeping self-shopping operations running smoothly while reducing total cost of ownership.
In addition, Datalogic provides long-term hardware and software support together with continuous updates.
A smarter and more sustainable approach
Datalogic has also focused on sustainability. Devices and accessories are made using recycled materials and delivered in recyclable packaging. The solution is energy-efficient and designed for easy maintenance, helping retailers reduce both energy consumption and overall environmental impact.
The next step in the evolution of self-shopping
Joya Smart+ clearly demonstrates how self-shopping technologies are evolving toward smarter, more automated, and more integrated shopping environments, where usability, speed, and loss prevention work together as one complete solution.
Nixor helps retailers integrate modern self-shopping solutions with existing systems and workflows into one cohesive operating environment. The result is a smoother customer experience, better control over everyday operations, and a more efficient and future-ready retail environment.
