Vending Machines and Systems

Vending machines deliver items such as snacks, drinks, and cigarettes after cash, credit card, or a specially designed card has been inserted into the machines. The vending machine product offerings have expanded throughout the years to now include lottery tickets, electronics, clothing, gift cards, and more. Vending machines with touch screen monitors provide a convenient and contactless method for consumers to make purchases and an inexpensive way for suppliers to market their products. As the vending machine market grows, vending systems have become more complex to meet environmental demands, laws restricting purchases (such as age), and cultural changes.

Canvys has been developing custom vending machine display solutions for many years and is continuously working with customers on new technologies and innovations. Canvys is involved in the initial design and development of these applications and uses select components to maintain availability over the long lifecycle of the product. Our design approach helps customers avoid time-consuming new designs and expensive re-certifications.

Today, vending machines mainly use All-In-Ones (a PC integrated into a monitor) which simplifies the integration into the customer’s POS system. These custom All-In-Ones are available in various display sizes and are equipped with a touch screen to facilitate interactive operation. Components are enclosed in a robust metal housing to protect the vending machine from vandalism. Canvys custom display solutions utilize PCAP touch screens, the same technology used in smartphones, making the vending systems user friendly.
