The impact of the new crown epidemic on the unmanned vending machine industry

The recent outbreak of the new crown epidemic has caused a very serious impact on various industries, and the unmanned vending machine industry is no exception. It is mainly reflected in the following aspects. Production: We all know that the manufacturing of unmanned vending machines is a labor-intensive industry. The production workshop requires a large number of laborers. The epidemic has had a great impact on the rework of workers. The local colleagues in Qingdao are okay. After returning from other provinces or cities, they need to self-isolate for 14 days. From mid-February to early March, colleagues from all over the country basically came back one after another. The quarantine period is basically full, and they all come back. Go to work. During work, the company uses the Dingding system to regularly measure the body temperature of employees twice a day and make records. They are measured and recorded once when they come to the company to check in in the morning and once at noon. Everyone must wear a mask, and a separate meal isolation system is implemented. Everyone goes to the restaurant to eat in batches and ensure a reasonable interval. The restaurant is disinfected in real time! Cancel various office meetings and change them to online meetings. The relevant office processes are unified and nailed to avoid face-to-face communication or handover between everyone. In the face of resumption of work during the isolation period, office clerks can work at home. As for the production workshop, because many people are in isolation, there is really no good way to organize a small number of personnel to focus on the production of specific models. The epidemic also made us aware of the need to use more intelligent automatic production lines to reduce dependence on the number of personnel and improve production efficiency. Due to the isolation of traffic control, logistics and transportation have also been affected to a certain extent. It is difficult to supply the parts purchased from other places. The solution is to find local suppliers as much as possible to solve the problem of part of the shortage of materials. As for those unmanned vending machines that have been produced for customers, they can only be shipped to customers after the logistics is restored. The on-site training for customers who have already received the machine has also been changed to remote video training. After experiencing this epidemic, we will produce more contactless shopping unmanned vending machines for comprehensive products according to customer needs. For example, haloo and Alipay jointly developed the Infinite Treasure Box unmanned vending machine series in 2017, using mobile phones to scan codes. Entering the online selection platform, online selection and online payment vending machine shipments, greatly reducing the number of contacts between people and the vending machine, one less contact is more secure! At that time, this model was developed to make shopping more convenient for customers. I did not expect to have more unexpected performance during the epidemic! Operation: For the operation part of the unmanned vending machine, it is even more difficult. It is both an opportunity and a challenge. During the epidemic, due to the sharp drop in the flow of people at transportation hubs such as subway stations, the sales of FMCG products were greatly affected, while the communities with normal sales performed better. However, since most communities implement entry and exit control, whether they can replenish goods in time is also a headache. As for the shelf life of some products at operating points, due to reduced sales, the expired merchandise channels can only be disabled in the backstage of the unmanned vending machine. It is now in late March, and the domestic epidemic situation is improving. I believe that the domestic unmanned vending machine industry will gradually improve and develop better soon. Export chapter: Now that the foreign epidemic has begun to break out, overseas business is very affected, and now we can only do the relevant network channels while watching the changes, and then sign when the situation improves.
