Select the cautions of the vending machine

In recent years, the vending machine and intelligent container gradually prosperity in the market. However, some in the industry is not optimistic. Think these unmanned intelligent container can change brings new retail. But the first thing to correct a concept: intelligent container can hardly be a mainstream retail channels. Can be used as a common retail channel, also is the electricity difficult scene. Smart container as the supplement of mainstream sales potential. Intelligent container can improve store choice, lack of customer information, replenishment is not timely, limited opening hours. But the vending machine is how to play its real role? How do we choose appropriate vending machine? 'People, goods, from the' three key words, you can get more clear direction. Users who will use the vending machine? What they need/like to buy goods? The above is to choose the issue to consider before the vending machine. Therefore, we need to do market research, according to the consumption age, level of consumption and user preferences to describe portraits of user demand, to cultivate the consumption habits of different users. Instead, smart container can through the calculation of the edge gateway, intelligent industrial computer hardware such as intelligence, intelligence gathering, analysis, customer consumption behavior, and then feedback to the operator, virtuous thought, make smart container to 'understand' the user better. The intelligent container application scenario has two characteristics: closed and immediacy. Subway stations, cinemas, schools, hospitals, shopping malls such as underground parking place closed, without the competition of other convenience stores, shops, intelligent container, the vending machine is suitable for promotion. Beijing and Shanghai subway station has laid the vending machine and intelligent container. Immediate mean? Although now take-out and door-to-door delivery service is very rich, but the logistics distribution is need certain delay. Finish running when you are thirsty, want to drink a bottle of mineral water, or to work in a hurry to eat bread for breakfast, near the current demand can only rely on intelligent container and vending machines. Smart container front end to a certain extent, take some of the logistics warehouse. Technology on the product identification technology, can be divided into RFID, accelerometer and image visual identification. RFID itself needs to be equipped with an electronic tag, have certain cost and loss rate is quite high. Accelerometer is accurate, but when the same weight of the goods together, easy to cause confusion, cause miscarriage. Image recognition camera to form a distance is needed to identify the goods and this will indirectly reduce the shelf area. Intelligent container can broaden the retail formats and sales channels, record and analyze the user's consumption behavior, and to provide a more powerful data accurate sales. However, in order to optimize the network of intelligent container layout, instead of blind expansion, need to choose appropriate intelligent container according to the situations, to achieve the best effect.
