A Smart Vending Machine Concept

Introduction

Challenges

Downtime is required to be kept to a minimum to ensure high service quality and an adequate profit margin
Physical maintenance work needs to be infrequent to reduce costs
Any devices and components must be able to withstand 24/7 operations in year-round climate and weather conditions

Solutions

Industrial-grade lnnoAGE SSDs with out-of-band management
Innodisk's iCAP device management platform for seamless remote maintenance and management
Innodisk's rugged hardware components that maintain high performance in any environment

Result

By leveraging the lnnodisk lnnoAGE SSD, the smart vending machine concept provided a solution that introduces intelligent features without sacrificing valuable uptime or requiring extra maintenance work. On the contrary, the more sophisticated concept vending machine can manage inventory and forecast demand more effectively than traditional vending machines, thereby reducing the need for maintenance work. The result is a vending machine with features that customers enjoy, such as non-cash payment options, an attractive interface with special promotions and ads, and an optimized selection of products. All while reducing costs for the operator.
