Weis Markets deploys Toshiba ELERA Security Suite solution across self-checkout lanes in stores
Weis Markets is partnering with Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions and implementing ELERA Security Suite with the aim of enhancing loss prevention measures and improving the overall customer experience.
ELERA Security Suite is now operational across self-checkout lanes in all 199 Weis locations, with plans to extend the technology to dual use and cashier lanes. The offering includes ELERA Loss Prevention and Produce Recognition.
“Our goal is to upgrade our technology stack and invest in Security Suite to provide a frictionless experience for our customers. Our customers have embraced produce recognition, with over 94% selecting to use it at self-checkout,” says Greg Zeh, CIO and SVP at Weis Markets.
“We are one of the first retail chains with ELERA Security Suite across our stores, ensuring speed, privacy, and performance. It is already strengthening real-time loss prevention.”
“Weis Markets has been a trusted partner for over two decades, and we’re thrilled to support their continued innovation. By understanding the real-world complexities of shrink, we designed a system that helps retailers like Weis Markets to enhance the shopping experience and empower associates,” says Yevgeni Tsirulnik, SVP Portfolio Management at Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions.
“Security Suite represents a significant leap forward in self-checkout solutions. Its edge AI operates locally at checkout, shifting loss prevention from reactive detection to proactive influence and built to evolve with changing business needs.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Physical stores were a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
