Do you remember when you first came across a vending machine in India? Likely at the Railway Stations! As a child, putting the coin in that machine made you walk an inch above the floor with your favourite treat in your hand. Cut to today's world, where people are quite used to self-purchase services and Automated Vending Machines have boomed just in time. Meanwhile, the desire for some specific products is yet to be catered by the vending machines. That child has grown into this picky adult who has made up his mind for likes and dislikes. Smart vending machines have rightly picked this preference and have integrated technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Payments, etc. This inclusion has enhanced the user experience with seamless payments, personalised product suggestions and faster transactions. Not only has it benefitted the consumers, but also opened profitable business opportunities for many business owners.
