SMART VENDING MACHINES: AUTOMATED OPERATION AND LOADING OF VENDING MACHINES
INDUSTRY: Public space, services
SmartSnacks, a leading provider of snack and beverage vending machines, relies on the possibilities of IoT to make the operation of vending machines more efficient and intelligent. With the IoT solutions and the FUSION IoT SIM card, operators and service providers can manage their vending machines completely digitally. Fill levels, minimum quantities or important measured values such as temperature and energy consumption are monitored in real time, enabling precise determination of requirements and optimized processes.
For example, the SmartSnacks team always knows exactly when a snack vending machine in a canteen needs to be refilled – long before customers are faced with empty shelves. At the same time, the IoT solutions enable automatic consumption analysis, which supports the targeted adjustment of the product range. Real-time data also makes route planning much more efficient, avoiding empty runs and conserving resources.
The technology offers additional benefits through automated alerts in the event of malfunctions, defects or theft. Whether it’s milk vending machines on farms, ATMs and coin changers or food boxes in zoos, animal parks or wildlife enclosures – SmartSnacks shows how smart vending machines can revolutionize the everyday lives of operators and service providers. The result is less effort, more efficiency and a sustainable increase in turnover.
MEETING THE CHALLENGES

- Without smart vending machines, there are no alerts in the event of vacancies, shortfalls in minimum quantities or technical faults
- Problems such as malfunctions, emergencies or theft remain undetected for a long time, which leads to lost sales
- Lack of data analysis of consumption or usage data, which makes optimization difficult
- Frequent manual checks and unnecessary trips for filling cost valuable time and resources
- Assortment and stocking cannot be dynamically adapted to customer wishes, consumption patterns or seasonal fluctuations
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
- All networks in Germany
- Location-independent selection of the strongest network
- Reliable data transmission
- Data pooling
- Access to the myFUSION SIM management portal
