Smart Retail -Vending Machines

　　Foreword

　　In the retail system, self-service vending machines

　　with various retail functions, such as beverage vending machines, self-service juicers, self-service coffee machines, self-service wine vending machines, and lunch box vending machines, are all over the streets and alleys of the city.

　　The biggest challenge is that without remote monitoring, it is difficult to notice minor problems before they cause real damage.

　　Traditional vending machines often encounter failures such as out-of-stock and machine breakage during the use of traditional vending machines. At the same time, the staff did not know the fault situation and deal with it in time. This not only delays the troubleshooting time but also affects the service quality of the vending machine operating company.

　　4G connectivity and remote management in vending machines is more important.

　　Solution

　　4G connectivity and remote management in vending machines is more important.

　　Network Connection reliability is the most typical feature for the vending machine since all parts of the solution( such as PLC, sensors) are connected to one 4G cellular router device.

　　To create one seamless autonomous solution, you can choose USR-G806-E/AU Industrial 4G LTE Cellular routers with sim card due to its small size, convenient installation, APN+VPN connection and fire wall. It can connect PLC or camera by LAN port and send the data to a remote server by 4G network in time. Or Choose USR-G809-E, I/O 4G LTE cellular Routers with Digital Inputs/Outputs, allowing to connect different temperature, load cell and door sensors and send all information to control system via 4G remotely

　　When used together with USRIOT remote management system, the system administrator can check network handover records,online/offline logs of various devices deployed in multiple locations.If any technical glitches occur, the system can be restarted remotely, which saves plenty of time for the technical staff and resolves most of the issues without human involvement.
