How to choose an unmanned vending machine that can help you make money Introduction: According to the author's consultation and statistics, as of the end of November 2017, the market stock of unmanned retail terminal equipment reached more than 300,000 units, and the overall market size is about 18 billion. It is expected to be by 2020 The annual market size will exceed 45 billion. The unmanned retail industry will be a leading industry in the next ten years. Many people want to enter this industry and earn their first pot of gold. One of the most important carriers in the unmanned retail industry is unmanned vending machines. There are a wide variety of unmanned vending machines on the market, and how to choose a suitable unmanned vending machine is the first step in operation.　　1. Clarify your own business goals: 　　 Unmanned vending machines can sell many, many products, and there are many profit models. Therefore, you must make your own business goals based on your actual needs. Choose a good product category-According to the actual situation of the location or the situation of your own project, choose the product category suitable for sale in the unmanned vending machine. Generally speaking, such products are fast-moving consumer goods, such as beverages, biscuits and other foods or others Daily products.　　2. Determine the profit model-Why do you want to determine the profit model? Because the current unmanned vending machine is not only the cabinet body as a sales channel, but other areas of the cabinet body such as the outer wall and the screen are places where you can make money. In the Internet age, traffic monetization is already a major profit channel. Everyone knows that the profit margins obtained by selling commodities are becoming less and less. Therefore, making good use of unmanned vending machines as an advertising platform is also a way to make money.　　Second, choose a suitable type of unmanned vending machine　　 There are a dazzling array of unmanned vending machines on the market. Since the emergence of smart technology, unmanned vending machines that have applied various high-tech have been upgraded to smart containers. The main applications of this type of smart container are RFID, AI visual recognition, gravity sensing and so on. Unmanned vending machines of different technologies have different effects on different commodity categories. To choose an optimal solution.　　 RFID technology unmanned vending machine: affix an RFID tag to the product, and identify it through the radio frequency terminal, so as to conduct settlement and inventory. This technology is a relatively mainstream technology in the current unmanned retail industry. However, the addition of tags will increase the cost of goods, and a better-quality RFID tag must have a relatively high price. And this type of technology will gradually become obsolete over time.　　 Unmanned vending machine with gravity sensing technology: Add a gravity sensing device to each shelf in the cabinet to sense the changes of goods. The cabinets of this kind of technology are mostly used for unmanned retail of fresh food and food. The cabinets that simply use gravity sensing as the accounting technology have certain loopholes, which are likely to cause damage to the goods. So this technology is generally used in conjunction with other technologies. Therefore, the price of this type of cabinet will be higher.　　 AI visual recognition unmanned vending machine: This is one of the latest technology of unmanned vending machine. The AI u200bu200bintelligent algorithm is used to identify the goods in the unmanned vending container, so as to transmit the data to the background for settlement and inventory. This type of cabinet can be a simple three-step purchase experience of scanning the code to open the door, taking away the goods, and closing the door for settlement. Greatly improve the buyer's experience. At the same time, AI intelligent visual recognition also reduces the merchant's management cost of goods. AI visual recognition technology is still constantly being updated, and it is believed that it will become the core technology of unmanned retail in the future.　　3. Choose an unmanned vending machine according to the position. 　　 Unmanned vending machines are, in the final analysis, a tool for selling goods. Only when someone buys it can make money. Therefore, having good point resources is the key to profitability. Investors should determine the target group according to their own product category, or determine the product category they operate according to their choice of scenarios.　　 Generally speaking, places with a large flow of people are the best choice for spots. There is no convenience store within 500 meters, and it is a prime location for unmanned vending machines. Therefore, when choosing a point, you must have sufficient market research to understand the consumer demand and topography of the scene.　　 position is also an important factor in choosing unmanned vending machines. Factors such as the size of the scene, the type of personnel, and the objective needs of the scene all feel how you choose an unmanned vending machine. Some unmanned vending machines are relatively large and may not be suitable for locations such as office scenes or commercial centers. Unmanned sales opportunities with an area of u200bu200babout 1 square meter are the first choice for this type of location.　　 This article is organized by unmanned vending machines, this article does not represent the point of view of this site Previous post: Do you know how unmanned vending machines can improve the efficiency?
