IMPROVED DESIGNS USED IN VENDING MACHINE

The coin entry and value measurement system The liquid dispensing system The retracble tray system

Coin entry value and measurement system


Creates an inclined path for the coin entrance and a detector directly below it

Liquid dispensing system whose valve is opened for a time proportional to the money Retraceble tray system opens after coin insertion and supposed to close manually after filling the cup

INOVATION
Green

wick proposed first ever bill acceptor MDB technology Industry peers to install coin mechanism that held patrons money

Remote monitoring technology using mei telemetry

Advantages :

Works for 24h day 365days a yr They need neither stuff nor specialized attention Mobility of vending machine It only needs investment Business dont take long time No problem of bad checks or credit risks

Disadvantages:

Vending machine used to be displaced in public places and can suffer vandalism No provision for bargaining and therefore fixed prices apply Fraud cases are also common in this kind of business by customers who formulate means of hacking into system dispense products
