Vending Machine Retrofit Design Reference

To check inventory levels, restock personnel must physically visit each machine which is a time-consuming and expensive process. Moreover, conventional vending machine only sells canned or bottled beverages, cold or hot beverages, and a few selections of snacks without any customizable functions. Moreover, old vending machines should be fully utilized to conserve the precious resources of the mother earth.
