The development of smart vending machines

For vending machines to become popular, they need to conform to consumers' consumption habits. Subjectively, it is impossible to speculate only from external conditions. Vending machines also need to be continuously upgraded and improved to create smart self-service shopping devices with higher performance, higher reliability and more in line with people's shopping habits. It may take nearly 20 years for vending machines to enter the domestic market, but in the past ten years, the development of vending machines has been slow. We can analyze the reasons from various historical factors. 1. The variety is not rich enough, mainly beverage vending machines and snack vending machines, which are too monotonous. 2. The payment function is not rich enough. Traditional vending machines can only use banknotes or coins for purchase, and the types of denomination recognition for banknotes are limited. 3. The quality of the people is not high, and the man-made damage is serious, which leads to the high cost of the vending machine in the later stage. 4. The management cost is too high, because the vending machine at that time could not be connected to the network, and there was no data background, so it could only spend more manpower and material resources for statistics and sales, adding goods, in order to make a profit, only increase the price of the goods, consumers are very Hard to accept. Therefore, in order to promote the development of vending machines, we need to solve these problems. Fortunately, the business environment and quality are much better than before, and mobile payments have also become popular, which has brought good conditions for the popularization of vending machines. Hotel room vending machines, adult vending machines, fresh juice vending machines, lunches, fruit, vegetable and seafood vending machines, and other smart vending machines are becoming more and more everywhere, breaking the situation that the type of vending machines is too single. Among them, the strong promotion should be mobile payment, which can be convenient and fast to shop by scanning the code on the mobile phone. This convenient shopping experience is much better than the cash mode, and it is also very efficient. Alipay and vending machine jointly launched the world's first smart vending machine that supports mobile Alipay payment. Five years ago, vending machines supporting Alipay and WeChat had become popular. Now, if a vending machine cannot support mobile payment, it would be embarrassing to say that it is a vending machine! With the development of modern industrial technology, vending machines have more user-friendly functions, such as heating and cooling. For customers, it is very happy to have a hot drink in the winter and a cold drink in the hot summer. Vending machines are not just a cold machine, they seem to have a human feeling, can know the cold and warm, serve the public, and warm everyone's heart.
