New Smart Package Room® Feature Reduces Couriers’ Multiple Package Deliveries From Minutes To Seconds

LAS VEGAS, NV – OPTECH – November 1, 2022 – Position Imaging, Inc, a pioneer in package logistics and asset tracking, today announced at OPTECH In-Room Scanning—a new feature for its Smart Package Room platform. The feature leverages the same hand-held scanning process couriers are familiar with to automatically assign packages to residents in multifamily communities—improving accuracy and compliance and streamlining their work by 50 percent.

The Smart Package Room is a secure area where packages are easily staged, identified, tracked, and delivered to residents using Computer Vision technology. Typically, couriers scan every package individually at a wall-mounted, external kiosk. This new technology performs all scanning inside the Smart Package Room.

Additional benefits include:

  • Scanning labels closer to the package placement location.
  • OCR technology automatically detects the recipient and auto-assigns in the system for resident notification.
  • The mobile hand-held device allows single-hand actions and ease of use when scanning labels.

“The Smart Package Room is quickly becoming the must-have amenity residents expect in multifamily communities—and we just made it faster and easier than ever for couriers,” said Ned Hill, founder and CEO of Position Imaging. “Now couriers have no learning curve to use our Smart Package Room—any questions about how to use our system have been removed by replicating the same process they have been trained to do for years.”

Hackers hit supermarket fridges across Europe again, three weeks after France

Hackers hit supermarket fridges across Europe again, three weeks after France

Grocery stores in at least nine European countries reported fridges and freezers pushed to warm temperatures overnight on November 2, three weeks after a similar attack hit hundreds of French supermarkets. Delhaize, Carrefour Belgium, Coop Sweden and SuperValu confirmed affected stores, ICA and SuperValu stores discarded or pulled chilled and frozen stock, and Belgian prosecutors opened an investigation. Danfoss said its refrigeration controllers were involved again, and Censys counts just over 1,000 of its StoreView interfaces still reachable from the internet. Nobody has claimed responsibility, and officials have not said whether the two waves are connected.

  • 01AFP counted nine countries hit; SecurityWeek said 100+ stores; Danfoss said its controllers were involved again.
  • 02A Belgian refrigeration executive said attackers forced evaporators into defrost mode, the same technique used in France, and Lupovis said most login attempts it saw used publicly documented factory default credentials.
  • 03CERT-FR and Greece's cybersecurity authority advise taking controllers off the public internet, using VPN access with multi-factor authentication, changing default passwords and replacing unsupported units.

Walmart commits roughly $6 billion to automate 25 US distribution centers with Symbotic

Walmart commits roughly $6 billion to automate 25 US distribution centers with Symbotic

Walmart and Symbotic expanded their partnership with a roughly $6 billion commitment to automate 25 US regional distribution centers over several years. Walmart says the move will help it offer a broader assortment, improve speed and provide more reliable restocking.

  • 01Walmart's roughly $6 billion Symbotic commitment is meant to increase storage capacity at its regional distribution centers and support upstream e-commerce inventory management. Walmart says the goal is a broader assortment, more speed and more reliable replenishment.
  • 02The roughly $6 billion covers work over several years. The deal also leaves room for additional projects across Walmart's global supply chain beyond the 25 regional distribution centers.
  • 03Watch whether Walmart names the 25 sites or extends work outside the US. Either would show whether the model spreads network-wide.

Stores ring up most retail sales but earn 5% of retail media revenue

Stores ring up most retail sales but earn 5% of retail media revenue

E-commerce was 17.1% of US retail sales in Q2 2026, leaving most sales to physical stores, yet stores draw only about 5% of retail media revenue, Omdia estimates.

  • 0143% of US retail media buyers with active in-store budgets say they underuse them. They cite activation complexity and measurement limits, which Fingoweb argues sit in software and data.
  • 02In retail media, “inventory” can mean screen time or shelf stock. Networks that sell ads need visibility into both.
