Key Business Objectives
Increasing the profitability of vending machines using
real-time and secure data collection through cloud-based
Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM), incl. diagnosis and real-time business analytics tools, can save time and reduce the high cost of operating a fleet of machines by
transforming data into business knowledge.
Supplying the vending machines with
network connectivity, sensor data, built-in intelligence and monitoring systems allow you to identify any single machine, access the online data remotely and obtain information about the sales and technical condition of your machines, to monitor and manage inventory and logistics. Connected machines can be tied to other corporate systems such as
enterprise resource planning (ERP) and central pricing. And more than this, the addition of
internal sensors (i.e. tachometers, temperature, or built-in shaking sensors) to monitor the machine itself will predict eventual failures and schedule service prior to a catastrophic event and therefore benefit the operators and technicians through
predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics for service requirements. If your vending machines encounter any technical problems, through monitoring systems you can be notified via SMS or e-mail: you will be able to quickly resume machine operation and limit its downtime.
In summary, all this together with the software that connects the sensors and controllers of the machine provides the kind of
scalable, embedded and cloud-based communications required by IoT-enabled smart vending machines to completely control your business - finances, inventory and service quality as the number of devices grows. By accessing, storing and transmitting the data through the cloud, companies do not have to expand their data centre, saving on space and expenses, maximizing productivity and profitability.
