China's unmanned retail vending machine will usher in great development

In terms of function, it is divided into beverage vending machines, food vending machines and comprehensive vending machines. From a manufacturing point of view, vending machines can be roughly classified into spring spiral cargo lanes, snake-shaped cargo lanes, crawler cargo lanes, multi-grid cabinets, smart cabinets, etc. The corresponding characteristics and applicable scenarios are different, as follows : Spring spiral cargo channel The spring spiral cargo channel appeared earlier, with a simple structure and a wide variety of products that can be sold. It can sell common snacks, daily necessities and other small commodities, as well as bottled beverages. The advantage is that the cost is low, and there are many types of goods that can be sold. The disadvantage is that it is easy to get stuck when selling bottled beverages, and it is troublesome to replenish the goods. It is necessary to extract the goods lanes and place the goods one by one. Snake-shaped cargo aisle (S-shaped stacking cargo aisle) S-shaped stacking cargo aisle is a special cargo aisle developed for beverage vending machines. It can sell all kinds of bottled and canned beverages. Beverages are stacked in layers in the cargo aisle. Gravity declines in shipments. The advantages are high space utilization, large capacity, and many types of beverages that can be sold; it is not easy to jam; the replenishment is simple and fast; the disadvantage is that the structure is complex, the production is difficult, and the manufacturing cost is high. Crawler cargo lane Crawler cargo lane is to place goods on the crawler. After purchasing the goods, the goods lane will roll forward, driving the goods to fall to the outlet. The advantage is that it can sell short canned beverages, short boxed snacks, boxed lunches and many other products that can stand steadily on the track. The disadvantage is that if the goods are dumped, the entire cargo lane will be affected; replenishment is troublesome, and the goods need to be placed one by one after pulling out the cargo lane. A multi-grid cabinet is a cluster of grid cabinets. Each grid has a separate door and control mechanism. Each grid can hold one commodity or a set of commodities. The advantage is that it can sell all kinds of goods (unpackaged, unfixed shape, larger size, complete set of packages, etc.), and the construction is simple and the manufacturing cost is low. The disadvantage is that the number of goods to be accommodated is small and the space utilization rate is low. JD Convenience Store uses a new type of smart micro-super vending machine, and the form of selling products is more diverse. JD Convenience Store has launched a new type of unmanned retail machine, which is equivalent to a 'mini JD Convenience StoreDifferences: The product interval of each row of the container can be adjusted, and there are almost no restrictions on the goods sold; the replenishment is simple, only the goods should be placed tightly on the cargo lane; the robot and the push rod cooperate to pick up the goods more accurately and without The goods will be stuck; the goods are closely connected, and the utilization rate of the container space is high. Intelligence is mainly the intelligent networking system and display screen mounted on the vending machine, in addition to the management advantages mentioned above. Users can also check the location of accessory vending machines through the APP and purchase directly. The display screen of the smart vending machine can be exchanged to improve the user experience and broaden the advertising value of the vending machine. Vending machine locations are distributed in areas with high traffic and are natural advertising space resources. Display advertising taps the value of offline traffic and broadens the profit model of vending machines.
