  • First car vending machine just opened

    There’s now a vending machine for cars. No, we don’t mean a micro vending machine that sits in your back seat. We mean an actual car vending machine that spits out cars. That you can drive away!

    Carvana opened up the shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Folks who purchase a vehicle can choose to pick it up at the 5-story location. Insert a coin and your car rolls out ‘through a proprietary and fully-automated pick-up experience, similar to how a can of soda is dispensed from a traditional vending machine,’ Carvana said. It took two years to build the vending machine, which can store 20 cars and features 3 delivery bays.

    Once you insert a coin, the car is automatically retrieved from the Tower and is moved through the machine until it reaches a Delivery Bay, where you take possession and begin your seven-day test ownership period.

    Carvana is even willing to pay you $200 for airfare, and will provide “white glove transportation” if you decide to specifically pick your car up at the special location.

    If you don’t live in Tennessee and don’t want to fly, you can wait for additional locations to open up at future nationwide locations in the coming years.

  • Contraception vending machine

    Contraception Vending machine offerings at a Pennsylvania university are expanding beyond the world of junk food and into the world of contraception.  

    Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania now offers the emergency contraceptive Plan B One-Step in a vending machine in the school’s Etter Health Center after a survey found that 85% of students supported doing so. The vending machine is located in a private room in the health center, which is only accessible by students after they have checked in with a front desk and been granted access to the treatment area.

    Plan B is an emergency contraception that can be used to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex, according to the FDA. It is available over the counter without a prescription for women over the age of 17.

    The machine is really used as much for privacy as anything else if a student wants to come in.

    VP of Student Affairs Roger Serr

    While Smith, who is a physician at Wesleyan University, has not heard of any other campus selling emergency contraception out of a vending machine, he does not see it as a problem.

    “We know Plan B is safe and effective, so it’s really no different from ibuprofen or some other medication available in a vending machine.”

    Known possible side effects of Plan B include nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and dizziness.

    Nearly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended, and about half of those accidentally impregnated women were using some type of birth control. Something as seemingly small as taking your pill at a different time can cause it to malfunction, and condoms need to be the right size to work. Stay consistent and follow directions to avoid birth control mistakes and be as safe as possible.

  • Facebook vending machine, coke or tool

    Most employees wouldn’t describe their IT department as “awesome.” But Facebook CIO Tim Campos is hoping a series of custom-made Facebook vending machine that dispense computer accessories instead of snacks and sodas will help change that perception.

    The Facebook vending machine is Campos’ latest and quirkiest undertaking. While getting power cords and replacement keyboards to employees sounds easy enough, at many companies the process requires filling out order forms that can take IT departments days to fulfill. Campos decided to take a more user-friendly approach to this common problem.

    His original idea was putting computer accessories into cabinets that employees could freely access. To keep track of who was taking what, he installed small digital kiosks next to each cabinet and asked employees to swipe their badge and mark which accessory they took.

    It didn’t work very well. We found that only about 5% of the time did people bother to tell the kiosk that they took an accessory.

    Tim Campos (Facebook CIO)

    The “aha moment” came from his assistant, who came across an iPod-dispensing vending machine in an airport.

    Campos green-lighted the project and his team began working with a manufacturer to custom make machines that could dispense computer accessories for Facebook employees.

    Just six weeks later, the machine arrived at the social networking company’s Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters. So now, when Facebook engineers spill coffee on their keyboard (a common mishap), they head to a nearby vending machine instead of hitting up their IT guy or just grabbing a replacement from a nearby cabinet. They swipe their badge, key in their selection and voila—a brand new keyboard drops down for them to take.

    Of course, there is a business benefit to the vending machines. According to Campos, they’ve reduced the cost of managing replacement accessories by about 35%.

    While products found in the vending machines are free, items are clearly marked with price tags so employees can see the retail value of each accessory they take. The new vending machines also require all employees to swipe their badge before making a selection. That means each and every power cord, keyboard and screen wipe they take can be traced back to their name, ensuring that the system won’t be abused (at least not as much as the previous cabinet system was).

    Campos is a strong proponent of employee accountability. He’s taken the same approach to managing mobile usage, which he says is one of the top three internal expenses his department oversees.

    Each new hire that comes through the door is given the same choice — iPhone or Android device. Facebook picks up the monthly voice and data tab, but employees receive a copy of their bill each month so they can personally keep track of their usage patterns and corresponding cost to the company (they can even see how they rank relative to their department’s averages).

    Three machines are already installed and Campos says if all goes well Facebook’s new headquarters in Menlo Park will soon be decked out with two vending machines per floor. And future machines could also dispense higher-value items like phones and PCs.

    Now 100% of employees have to badge in, and there’s better accountability on what people are taking. More importantly, it’s just cool. Employees love to see these machines.

  • Age Verification Vending Machine

    With the full-scale rollout of Japan’s cigarette vending machine age-verification system just around the corner, a Sankei Sports news reporter has confirmed the existence of a minor flaw: magazine photos can be used to fool the Age-verification Vending Machine

    When the reporter went to check out the new age-verifying machines after they were introduced in the Osaka area in June, he soon discovered that the machines equipped with face-recognition cameras would let him buy cigarettes when he held up a 15-centimeter (6-in) wide magazine photo of a man who looked to be in his 50s.

    The reporter also went to Kobe, where different face recognition hardware is being used. There, he bought cigarettes using an 8-centimeter (3-in) wide magazine photo of a female celebrity in her 30s. He also reportedly tried to use a 3-centimeter (1-in) wide photo, but the machines rejected it.

    As part of the age-verification system, most of Japan’s 570,000 cigarette vending machines are being outfitted with RFID readers that check the purchaser’s Taspo age-verification card. Smokers without a Taspo card can now either buy their cigarettes in person over the counter or use one of 4,000 special machines equipped with face-recognition systems (these machines do not require Taspo cards).

    The face-recognition machines rely on cameras that scan the purchaser’s face for wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of age. Facial characteristics are compared with a database of more than 100,000 people, and if the purchaser is thought to be well over 20 years old (the legal age), the sale is approved. If the purchaser looks too young, they are asked to prove their age by inserting a driver’s license.

  • Medicine vending machine

    Two Sussex supermarkets have begun a year-long trial of Medicine vending machine to dispense prescriptions.

    The Medicine Vending machine, at Sainsbury, allow patients to collect medicines without speaking to a pharmacist.

    It is the first trial of the machines in the UK, according to the supermarket.

    Customers must register for a unique ID and Pin number and can deposit NHS prescriptions using a special envelope.

    Each machine, which can hold up to 450 packs of medicines, will issue a printed receipt with a collection time. The dispensed medicines will contain instructions for the patient.

    The vending machines provide a secure and convenient way for customers to obtain prescribed medication at time that suits them.

    Sainsbury’s manager David Gilder

    Remote pharmacy vending machines are expected to be trialed at UK hospitals later this year, providing a video link between patients and pharmacists.

    How general Medicine Vending Machine work

    • Prescription Input: Some medicine vending machines require users to input a prescription code provided by a healthcare provider or pharmacist. This ensures that the medication is dispensed according to a valid prescription.
    • Dispensing Medication: Once the prescription is verified and payment is completed, the machine dispenses the medication. Advanced models may also provide instructions for use and warnings about potential side effects.

    Features

    • Security Measures: To prevent unauthorized access and misuse, these machines often include security features such as encrypted data transmission and secure storage compartments.
    • Temperature Control: Many medicine vending machines are equipped with temperature control capabilities to ensure that medications requiring specific storage conditions remain effective.
    • Customer Support: In case of issues, some machines offer customer support through a built-in communication system allowing users to speak directly with a pharmacist or technician.

    Benefits

    • Accessibility: Medicine vending machines can increase access to essential medications, especially in remote or underserved areas where pharmacies might not be readily available.
    • Convenience: They offer extended hours of service beyond traditional hours, making it easier for patients to obtain necessary medications without waiting.
    • Efficiency: Automating the dispensing process can reduce wait times and improve efficiency in managing routine medication refills.

    Challenges

    • Regulatory Compliance: Operating medicine vending machines requires adherence to local health and safety regulations, which can vary widely.
    • Limited Interaction: While these machines provide convenience, they lack the personal interaction and advice that pharmacists can offer regarding medication management and potential interactions.

    Medicine vending machines showcase how technology can be leveraged to improve healthcare accessibility and patient convenience, although they must be carefully managed to ensure safety and compliance with medical standards.

  • Vending machine facial recognition

    Now it’s no longer your mom reminding you not to eat that Twinkie. Vending machine facial recognition technology denies would-be snackers from buying certain foods that don’t fit their personal profile. The machine can be programmed to identify users and remember their snack preferences — even accessing their age, medical records and vending purchase histories.

    If the user’s snack choice doesn’t fit their profile, the machine won’t dispense the item.

    Smart Vend Solutions just unveiled the machine in U.K., and says vending machine facial recognition technology can be programmed to keep children from buying cigarettes, hospital patients away from salty or sugary foods and keep dieters on track.

    Launching the very first full production facial recognition technology represents an advancement which will bring unlimited benefits to businesses and consumers across the U.K.

    Malcolm Standage, Smart Vend Solutions

    But the proliferation of smart vending machine raises some possible short comings, such as the ability of people just getting someone to buy junk food for them — or the obvious privacy issues as it records your every purchase.

    Interesting Facts on Facial Recognition

    • Serve smart ads
    • Prevent retail crime
    • Find missing persons and pets. In 2018, news about finding 3000 missing children in India through face recognition made waves across the globe. This proves critical not only finding missing children but also preventing human trafficking.
    • Recognize VIPs
    • Confirm identity at ATMs. The ubiquity of ATM cards means it will take time before they get phased out, but in some places like Macau, face scans are already used at ATMs to protect the identity of users.
    • Add convenience to air travel
    • Limit access to sensitive locations
    • Help the blind. By using a facial recognition app, the blind can get clues about the social situation they’re in. For example, when the app recognizes someone smiling, the smartphone vibrates to alert the blind person.
    • Protect schools
    • Diagnose diseases

  • Vending machine price adjust with temp.

    Coca-Cola continues to try out new vending machine technology. For the past two summers, the company has offered a lemonade product in Spain where its vending machine price adjust with outdoor temperature.

    The goal of the pricing strategy was to increase traffic for the vending machines. The Coca-Cola Spain vending machines at water and amusement parks charged three different prices for its Limon & Nada, depending on the temperature.

    For temperatures above 30℃, the cost was $1.20, at 29℃ the price climbed to $1.70; and below 29℃ the price was $2.40.

    The machines were designed specifically to increase trial of Limon & Nada as a thirst quencher in the summer heat and have not been used in other markets.
