[Unmanned vending machine] its own advantages

Unmanned vending machines have been developed in China for nearly 20 years. The coverage of first-tier cities is relatively wide, and some second-tier cities can only be seen in densely populated places, such as subway entrances, stations, airports, etc., until 2017. With the change in the industry structure, unmanned vending machines have truly boarded the fast-developing train, and they are out of control on the road of development. So, under the new retail business form, does it include the vertical form of unmanned intelligent vending machines? The motivation and goals of new retail innovation At present, the labor and space rental costs of mainstream offline retail companies occupy profit margins and have not caused a substantial loss of profits, but they are in a predictable and continuous growth trend. Under the general trend of slowdown in overall growth, labor costs will eventually become a pain point that needs to be resolved, and the development of 'people' will definitely become more and more 'expensive.' If it is necessary to solve it from this direction, then the development of new retail will be accompanied by automatic and unmanned scene attributes. Technology-driven 'cost reduction and efficiency improvement, user experience and scene service upgrade' are the driving force and goal of new retail innovation at this stage. 2. The value of unmanned retail in the context of new retail trends, Zeng Ming, chief strategy officer of Alibaba Group, said: “In the future, unmanned sales will become an opportunity to reach users’ mini supermarkets within 100 meters under certain scenarios. The advantages of smart hardware interact with users to complete a cloud + terminal reconstruction. It's a bit like the big explosion of iphone + APP! This is a very anticipated development!' It contains a series of 'Internet of Things + Big Database + 'Artificial intelligence' basic commercial facilities, future unmanned retail machines, will be adapted to local conditions, in different regions, different groups of people, and different locations to realize the 'perceive user needs, intelligent production, intelligent order selection, intelligent A more comprehensive and intelligent retail business chain such as transportation, machine replenishment, and smart sales, includes all business links such as production, transportation, operation, and sales. 'Users will have products that are closer to their inner needs than the current stage, and provide better service experience in more extreme and convenient consumption scenarios.' This is a long-term main goal, and of course it will change with the development of technology. Achieved, but the proportion of realization is different at different stages of social development. From this general perspective, in the new retail trend, unmanned retail machines are necessary and reasonable, and their value is irreplaceable. But now, only part of the demand for immediacy and convenience is met. 3. Possible development trends From the perspective of user experience and consumption scenarios, the most important thing for UAVs is to satisfy and have the advantage value of 'immediateness'. Setting up unmanned vending machines in some scenic spots with small traffic flow and large crowds to provide beverages and energy-refilling explosives is indeed necessary for instant consumption scenarios. This is a cost advantage that cannot be covered by the current unattended retail scene. It is in a leading position in today's market and has reached the highest level in existing technologies. Funcloud technology has been advancing, insisting on deepening the vertical field of unmanned new retail industry. In general, the existing unmanned vending machine technology is not the final market form. The development of science and technology will gradually improve the existing services. I hope to see the final realization from on-demand production, warehousing and logistics automatic transportation, and terminal automatic distribution. , Shelf automatic replenishment, automatic sales are fully intelligent and automated.
