Wanzl Showcases FastLaner and HybridLoc to Embed Smart Checkout and Access Control into Core Store Operations
SHERIDAN, WYOMING - February 23, 2026 - Wanzl GmbH & Co. KGaA is presenting its FastLaner® smart shopping trolley and HybridLoc digital lock at EuroShop 2026 as a practical route to digitize in-store processes without forcing customers into entirely new shopping habits. The concept links physical equipment to digital workflows: shoppers scan items at the trolley and can pay at a staffed checkout, self-checkout, or directly via app or card. For retailers, the promise is a smoother customer journey, reduced queue friction, and better process visibility-while keeping day-to-day trolley collection and return routines largely unchanged.
What Wanzl is bringing to EuroShop 2026
Wanzl positions FastLaner® and HybridLoc as "smart modules" that fit into existing store routines. Instead of treating the trolley as passive transport equipment, the setup turns it into an active part of the checkout and store-process chain.
