Examples provide a smart bagging station including a halo array of sensor devices generating sensor data associated with a detection zone surrounding the smart bagging station. The smart bagging station includes barcode scanners in a curved arrangement within a recessed sensor device housing located behind a bagging device. As a user places an item into a bag, the item is automatically scanned by the barcode scanners without re-orienting the item or passing it across a scanning sensor. Other sensor devices, including RFID tag readers, cameras, and/or weight sensors are located at multiple locations above the bagging device, below the bagging device, on the sides of the bagging device, and/or behind the bagging device creating a detection zone encompassing the bagging area. Items within the detection zone are automatically identified using different types of sensor data without requiring the manual scanning for faster and more efficient checkout.
