China's Micron Smart Vending creates smart retail fridges that make the most of a cloud-based vending system so that users can access items inside by scanning a code. These machines, available with both single and dual door styles, have features like adjustable trays, weight sensors and card readers. Thanks to this built-in tech, operators are able to check the smart fridge vending machine's inventory in real-time and even remotely upload advertising to a digital screen stationed just above the door. Also using this technology, operators may make pricing adjustments and turn the cooling system on or off.
Thanks to the cloud-based intelligent vending system, the smart fridge for retail applications also has the potential to be used to dispense alcoholic beverages.
