A Smart Vending or IT vending machine is a vending machine equipped with advanced technology such as internet connectivity and software that allows it to perform advanced functions such as accepting various forms of payment, providing real-time inventory updates, and collecting data on customer behaviour. This allows for a more efficient and convenient vending experience for the customer and better management and analysis of the vending machine's performance for the operator.

A Smart Vending machine may use a variety of technologies to perform its advanced functions. Such as:

  • Internet connectivity: This allows the vending machine to communicate with a remote server to receive updates, send data, and accept payments.

  • Sensors: These can include cameras, weight sensors, and RFID readers, which can be used to detect when items are removed from the vending machine and to collect data on customer behaviour.

  • Software: Smart vending machines may use software to manage inventory, track sales, and perform other tasks. This may include a user interface that allows customers to interact with the vending machine and a back-end system for the operator to manage and analyse the machine's performance.

  • Payment systems: Smart vending machines may accept different forms of payments like cash, credit/debit cards, mobile payments, and digital wallet payments.

  • Data analysis: IT vending machines may collect and analyse data on customer behaviour and machine performance, which can be used to improve the vending experience and optimise the machine's inventory and pricing.

  • Artificial Intelligence: Some Smart Vending machines also use AI to predict the demand and restock the product accordingly.
