**在地餐廳餐券**：涵蓋當地熱門店鋪如 Kainoas Grill 或 The Cookie Place。 - **破冰話題小卡**：幫助初次約會的伴侶打破尷尬。 - **創意活動道具**：例如 DIY 護膚面霜、尋寶圖，甚至是「偽求婚」遊戲道具。 「我們的目標是讓約會回歸簡單，」共同創辦人史崔德表示。「你只需要買好信封，人到現場，剩下的交給我們安排。」 **社群迴響與未來擴張** 自推出以來，這台機器已在校園引起轟動，首月便售出超過 200 套約會包。除了實體機器，他們還提供免費的「盲測約會」配對服務，目前已有數百名學生報名參加。 這對堂兄弟的成功不僅在於創意，更在於他們成功與當地企業合作，實現了多贏局面。據悉，他們正計劃將這台「浪漫製造機」擴展到全美其他大學城。 在這個數位交友盛行的時代，「約會機器」正以一種最實體且溫暖的方式，重新連結現實世界中的年輕男女。 **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Kindness Challenge Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/kindness-challenge-vending-machine/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A pink vending machine in Detroit encourages kindness through the "Kindness Challenge," offering participants missions that promote goodwill, fostering community connections and positivity amidst a divided world. **Content:** **DETROIT** – At the corner of the bustling Eastern Market, a vibrant pink vending machine is stopping locals in their tracks. But if you’re looking for a bag of chips or a soda, you’re out of luck. This machine deals in a much rarer currency: **kindness.** The “Kindness Challenge” machine is the brainchild of Michigan artist **Andrea Zelenak**. By repurposing a vintage bait-and-tackle vending machine, Zelenak has created a mobile social experiment designed to spark a chain reaction of goodwill across the city. Small Change, Big Impact For a small fee, participants don’t receive a snack; instead, they get a colorful envelope containing a “mission.” These tasks are categorized by difficulty levels: - **Green (Easy):** Simple gestures like leaving a thank-you note for a mail carrier or giving a genuine compliment to a stranger. - **Yellow (Medium):** Paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line or donating a book to a local “Little Free Library.” - **Pink (Hard):** Challenges that push social boundaries, such as striking up a conversation with someone new or volunteering an hour of time to a local cause. The Butterfly Effect Zelenak’s inspiration stems from the “Butterfly Effect”—the idea that a tiny action in one place can lead to a massive transformation elsewhere. “Sometimes people want to be kind, but they just need a little nudge or an idea to get started,” Zelenak explained. “The machine makes it a game, but the impact on the community is very real.” The project gained massive traction during the **ArtPrize** festival in Grand Rapids, where thousands of envelopes were dispensed. Since then, it has become a viral sensation, featured on national outlets like *People* and *AOL*, proving that there is a global appetite for positivity. A Community Connected The machine has become more than just an art installation; it’s a landmark for human connection. Social media is frequently flooded with photos of participants completing their missions, often sharing how a simple $1 challenge turned a stranger’s bad day around. In a world that can often feel divided, Zelenak’s machine serves as a mechanical reminder that a little bit of change can truly change the world. **Categories:** News --- ### [Date Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/date-vending-machine/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A bright vending machine in Rexburg offers curated date kits, created by BYU-Idaho students, to help college couples overcome dating challenges. It includes meals, icebreakers, and activities, quickly gaining popularity. **Content:** **REXBURG, ID** – For college students in Rexburg, the age-old question of “What should we do tonight?” just got a colorful, mechanical answer. Standing in the lobby of the Cedars at Hemming Village is a bright pink-and-white vending machine that doesn’t dispense snacks—it dispenses **romance.** “The Date Machine,” a viral startup founded by BYU-Idaho students **Donovan Strader** and his cousin **Carter Felt**, is a creative solution to the common hurdles of modern dating: planning fatigue, awkward silence, and tight budgets. **The Anatomy of a “Date Kit”** For a price tag ranging from **$5 to $35**, users can select from a variety of curated date envelopes, each sealed with a classic wax stamp. These aren’t just suggestions; they are comprehensive, pre-paid experiences. A typical kit includes: - **A Pre-paid Meal:** Vouchers for local favorites like *Kainoas Hawaiian Grill* or *The Cookie Place*. - **Icebreaker Cards:** Specifically designed questions to help couples move past small talk. - **Creative Activities:** Materials for unique experiences, ranging from “DIY Spa Nights” with face masks to map-led treasure hunts around town. **Solving the “Rexburg Rut”** The idea was born after Strader and Felt surveyed over 100 peers to find out why they weren’t dating more. The data was clear: students felt they lacked original ideas and the funds to execute them. “We wanted to make it so people could just show up and go,” Strader told local reporters. By handling the logistics and partnering with local businesses for discounted rates, the duo has successfully lowered the barrier to entry for a night out on the town. **A Growing Empire of Love** The response has been overwhelming. Within its first month, the machine sold over 200 kits, prompting the founders to consider expanding the concept to other university towns across the country. Beyond the machine, the cousins also offer a free **blind dating service**, which has already seen hundreds of sign-ups from students looking for a surprise match. In a world dominated by swiping and digital interactions, Strader and Felt are betting on a more tactile approach to love—one that starts with the turn of a dial and a pink envelope. **Categories:** News --- ### [善行挑戰販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/善行挑戰販賣機/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 底特律一台販賣機售賣善行挑戰信，鼓勵市民實踐善良，創造社群正能量。 **Content:** **【底特律訊】不賣零食賣「善良」：古董販賣機變身社會實驗，一項挑戰點亮整座城市** 在底特律東部市場（Eastern Market）的轉角，一台鮮豔奪目的粉色販賣機格外引人注目。但如果你想在這裡買到洋芋片或汽水，可能會大失所望——因為這台機器裡裝的是一封封「善行挑戰信」。 **從舊釣具箱到「正能量發射站」** 這項計畫由當地藝術家安德烈亞·澤萊納克（Andrea Zelenak）發起。她將一台原本用於販售釣魚用具的廢棄自動販賣機重新翻修、上色，並將裡面的商品替換成由她親手設計的挑戰任務。 「我想要創造一種連鎖反應，」Zelenak 在受訪時表示。「有時候人們想做點好事，但不知道從何開始。這台機器給了他們一個簡單、有趣的起點。」 **三種等級的「溫暖任務」** 這台機器的運作方式充滿童趣，挑戰信封依據執行難度分為三種顏色： - **綠色（簡單）：** 可能是對路人微笑，或寫一張感謝便條留給快遞員。 - **黃色（中等）：** 例如為排在身後的人支付一杯咖啡，或主動幫鄰居提重物。 - **粉色（具挑戰性）：** 鼓勵參與者走出舒適圈，例如主動與陌生人攀談，或捐贈物資給當地的收容所。 每項挑戰都伴隨著一個簡單的信念：小小的舉動可以引發巨大的蝴蝶效應。自計畫啟動以來，這台機器已在密歇根州發放了數千份挑戰，甚至在大型藝術展（如 ArtPrize）中成為最熱門的互動裝置。 **社群的漣漪效應** 這不只是一件藝術品，更是一場關於人性光輝的社會實驗。許多參與者在完成任務後，會回到機器旁分享他們的故事。有人因為幫陌生人付了餐費而收穫了一段珍貴的對話；有人則因為一張匿名的小紙條，讓原本糟糕的一天轉憂為喜。 「這台機器提醒了我們，在這個有時顯得冷漠的世界裡，選擇善良其實只需要一點點勇氣，和一枚硬幣的距離，」一位參與過挑戰的市民感嘆道。 **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Mini Print Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mini-print-vending-machine/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Edinburgh's "Indie," a mobile print vending machine by Eve Tong, democratizes art access, offering limited-edition pieces for £1. Its rotating locations create excitement, engaging locals in a digital scavenger hunt for prints. **Content:** **EDINBURGH** – In an age of digital screens and rising living costs, a flash of bright red and the mechanical *clack-clack* of a vintage dial is drawing crowds to the city’s independent shopfronts. But this isn’t for bubblegum or cheap trinkets. It’s “Indie,” the nomadic mini-print vending machine that has become Edinburgh’s most sought-after art gallery. Created by local artist Eve Tong, the machine has spent the last year hopping between the city’s creative hubs—from the book-lined shelves of Argonaut Books in Leith to the cake-filled windows of Mimi’s Bakehouse. For the price of a single £1 coin, residents and tourists alike can claim a piece of limited-edition Scottish art. **Accessible Art for All** The project was born from a desire to democratize the art world. “Art can sometimes feel exclusive or expensive,” says one local shop owner who hosted the machine last month. “But everyone has a pound coin in their pocket. It brings that childhood sense of ‘pocket money’ joy to something much more meaningful.” Each location features a bespoke collection of six surprise designs tailored to the neighborhood. In Portobello, the prints might lean toward seaside nostalgia; on Broughton Street, the focus shifts to vibrant botanical sketches or local architecture. **The “Indie” Hunt** Part of the machine’s charm is its mystery. Known to fans as “Indie,” the machine rarely stays in one place for more than a few weeks. This “catch-it-while-you-can” energy has spawned a digital scavenger hunt, with locals taking to Instagram and Reddit to report sightings as soon as the machine is spotted in a new storefront. The collections often sell out within days, as collectors race to complete the set of six prints before the machine is whisked away to its next secret location. **Where to Find It Next** The machine is currently gearing up for its biggest outing yet. Art hunters should mark their calendars for the **Porty Festival** at Portobello Town Hall on **May 2nd and 3rd**, where a fresh batch of coastal-themed prints is expected to debut. For those who can’t wait, the artist’s social media remains the only official “map” for this traveling treasure chest.

Global skincare brand Dove has unveiled “The Beauty Machine,” a provocative social installation designed to expose how social media algorithms are narrowing our perception of what is considered beautiful. At first glance, the machine mimics the familiar interface of a smartphone, promising variety. However, behind the glass sits 16 identical synthetic busts, each featuring the “algorithmic ideal”—a digital composite of the fox eyes, snatched jaws, and poreless skin frequently promoted by AI filters. The campaign, created in partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Lauren Greenfield and creative agency Ogilvy, aims to visualize the “flattening” effect of digital trends. “Algorithms are powerful editors of our reality,” said Greenfield. “By showing the same face over and over, we wanted to physically represent the repetitive, narrow loop that women and girls are stuck in every time they scroll.” The data backing the stunt is equally stark. A new Dove study reveals that **nearly 1 in 2 women and girls in the U.K.** feel a mounting pressure to alter their physical appearance, even when they are fully aware that the images they see online are AI-generated or heavily filtered. However, the installation offers an “exit” from the loop. Beside the machine, a QR code invites passersby to join the **\#DoveOpenCall**. By scanning the code, participants can submit their own unfiltered, “real” photos. Within 48 hours, these diverse images are broadcast onto massive digital billboards surrounding the station, effectively drowning out the machine’s synthetic faces with real human variety. This isn’t Dove’s first foray into “vending” social change. In 2020, the brand launched a plastic-recycling machine in New York, but “The Beauty Machine” marks its most aggressive stance yet against the digital distortion of self-esteem. As AI continues to blur the lines between reality and fiction, Dove’s message is clear: beauty should be a source of confidence, not a mathematical formula. **Categories:** News --- ### [Ultra-Compact Magnetic Switches](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ultra-compact-magnetic-switches/) **Published:** April 23, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In 1954, Fuji Electric pioneered ultra-compact magnetic switches in Japan, leading the market.

It was a genius PR stunt to “convert” candy disappointments into sweet victories, backed by a survey showing 90% of Americans crave trades for their least-favorites. No cash involved—just drop in the duds and grab the good stuff. Here’s the tasty breakdown: ### **What It Was** - **Concept**: A custom-built exchange machine (not your standard coin-op) where users inserted “trash” candy into a slot, and it dispensed equal-value Reese’s treats. It played on the universal post-trick-or-treat ritual of sorting keepers from rejects, positioning Reese’s as the ultimate upgrade. - **Products Traded**: Any unwanted Halloween candy in (up to a handful per swap); out came mini or full-size Peanut Butter Cups. Limited to fair exchanges—no hoarding the whole haul! - **Purpose**: To spike brand love during peak candy season (Reese’s is #1 for Halloween, bought by over half of candy shoppers). It generated massive buzz, with social mentions up 600% and a Clio Award for creative excellence. ### **When and Where** - **Launch Date**: Debuted October 28, 2018, at the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Halloween parade in Tarrytown, New York—handing out ~2,500 cups. The big night was Halloween (October 31), from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., parked outside Washington Square Park on 5th Avenue in NYC’s Greenwich Village, dishing out up to 10,000 more. - **Locations**: Strictly NYC pop-ups for that high-energy, costume-clad crowd. No expansions beyond— it was a one-season wonder. - **How It Worked**: Spot the giant machine, feed it your candy regrets via a fun slot, watch a cheeky animation (or hear a jingle?), and collect your Reese’s reward. Videos show kids and adults alike lighting up like they hit the jackpot. ### **Impact and Legacy** This converter crushed it: Over 1,300 media hits in days, 536K social engagements from just 12 posts, and pure earned media magic. It turned a seasonal gripe into a feel-good moment, cementing Reese’s as the “GOAT of Halloween.” --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Dirty Water Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dirty-water-vending-machine/) > [Literacy Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/literacy-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Giving Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/giving-vending-machines/) **Published:** January 30, 2020 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Giving Machines provide easy donating options for charity during the holidays, supporting both local and global communities with various items. **Content:** **Vending with a Purpose: The Rise of ‘Giving Machines”** Instead of satisfying cravings, unique giving vending machines across the country are being used to do some good this holiday season. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Giving-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1 "Giving Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")They’re called the “Giving Machines,” and these vending machines are filled with items for people in need and make donating to charity as easy as buying a snack. All you have to do is punch in the number for the item you want to donate and swipe your card. The rest is taken care of. ****A Vision Born from Compassion**** Sharon Eubank, President of [Latter-day Saints Charities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDS_Humanitarian_Services), says the idea for the machines was born three years ago and they were first placing in a couple of locations, including Salt Lake City and New York City. Whether you have a few dollars to spare or are wanting to give back in a bigger way, the machines feature items of varying prices that you can choose from. Items range in price from $2 to $320 and include everything from food, clothing, medicine, hygiene supplies, sporting equipment and livestock. All donations go to local and global charities. “So, there are some global partners, which include UNICEF, WaterAid, Water for People and Church World Service. They have outlets all over the world,” said Eubank. “But in every location, there’s also local charities so that you can buy things that benefit people right in the community where you live.” ******Impressive Impact—and a Growing Movement****** In 2018, the machines raised more than $2.3 million for local and global charities, according to Eubank. This year, she says there are 10 locations and the church’s goal is to raise $5 million. As of Dec. 12, she said they had raised $2.438 million. “But the most important statistic to me is that there’ve been 101,000 individual transactions, so it isn’t so much that people donated a lot, but they donated a blanket or something small and 101,000 people decided, yeah I’ll do a ‘Giving Machine’ and so that to me is the greater statistic,” said Eubank.

Funded by a $3,000 grant from the City of Windsor’s Arts, Culture & Heritage Fund, it commissions local and regional artists to create bite-sized works that fit into vending capsules—evoking childhood nostalgia while democratizing access to original pieces. Bradt, a Sipekne’katik (Mi’kmaq) artist known for her “still life storytelling” that spotlights overlooked objects, aimed to support underrepresented creators and spark joy in the Windsor-Essex community. It’s not just vending—it’s a low-barrier entry to art collecting, with every spin funding future commissions. ****How It Works: Twist for a Treasure**** - **The Machine**: A retro-style capsule vendor (repurposed for art) stocked with sealed plastic eggs or tubes. Insert two loonies ($2 CAD? Wait, toonies—two $2 coins for $4 total), give it a crank, and out pops a surprise artwork plus an artist bio card. - **The Thrill**: Blind-box mechanics mean no peeking—odds favor variety, but rares (like limited-edition prints) add gamble. Capsules protect pieces during delivery, and the machine’s portable for pop-ups. - **Accessibility Focus**: At $4 a pop, it’s cheaper than a coffee, making art “as easy as grabbing a snack.” Bradt emails artists with the fun prompt: “Make tiny art for a vending machine?”—sparking playful, scale-constrained creativity. ****The Art Inside: Mini Masterpieces**** Initial lineup featured five southwestern Ontario artists, each producing 50–100 pieces in diverse media. Themes? Whimsical, personal, and tiny-scale wonders: ArtistMediumSample PieceVibe**Various (e.g., local Windsor talents)**Digital printsAbstract patterns or portraitsDigital dreams in pocket size.**Linocut specialists**Hand-carved printsMini landscapes or figuresTactile, folksy folk art.**Screen printers**PostersTiny motivational quotes or scenesBold, graphic pops of color.**Sculptors**Clay objectsWhimsical figurines or charms3D surprises you can hold.**Literary creators**Stickers/KeychainsWord-art or poetic notesWearable wisdom or desk decor.Bradt rotates artists seasonally, ensuring fresh drops—nothing’s “big” here; everything’s designed to fit a 2–3 inch capsule. ****Locations and Pop-Ups in Windsor-Essex**** The machine’s nomadic, hitting community hotspots to maximize serendipity. Early 2022 stops included markets and festivals; it’s since become a staple for events: SpotDetailsWhen/Notes**Windsor Public Markets**Outdoor market vibes; easy access for families.Summer 2022 launch; recurring weekends.**Art Windsor-Essex Workshops**Tied to Bradt’s classes (e.g., digital drawing for seniors).2024–2025 events; pairs with her print challenges.**Artcite Inc. (Artist-Run Centre)**Bradt’s programming hub; indoor exhibit tie-ins.Ongoing; where she coordinates as Programming Coordinator.**Community Festivals**Pop-ups at local fairs or markets across Essex County.Seasonal; check @kristinabradt on Instagram for alerts.It’s traveled “across the city,” from breweries (nod to her Collective Arts collabs) to public art walks. ****Latest Status**** Still spinning! Bradt’s project endures as a community anchor—now in its third year, with fresh commissions and ties to her 2024 “366 Prints Challenge” (one print daily for a leap year).

These machines, first trialed in Japan in 2023, represent a step toward carbon-negative technology in everyday infrastructure, one step closer to the mission of achieving a decarbonised society. Below is a breakdown of key details. ### ****How It Works**** - **CO2 Absorption Mechanism**: The machines draw in ambient air through internal vents and use specialized absorbent materials (made from industrial byproducts) to selectively capture CO2, mimicking the natural process of trees. The absorbed CO2 is stored within the machine’s cartridges. - **Repurposing the CO2**: Instead of releasing it, the captured CO2 is collected and reused as a raw material for eco-friendly products, such as: - Carbon-negative concrete (e.g., cable troughs for Keio Corporation and roadways on Asahi’s campus). - Asphalt, non-fired tiles, and plastic compounds. - Environmental projects like coral reef preservation beds on Irabu Island or blue-carbon ecosystem regeneration. - **Environmental Impact**: Each machine achieves a net CO2 reduction of -158% compared to its total emissions (based on life-cycle assessment standards), far exceeding just offsetting its own footprint. ****Key Specifications**** FeatureDetails**Annual CO2 Absorption**56–60 kg per machine (equivalent to ~20 mature Japanese cedar trees). This offsets up to 20% of the machine’s own CO2 emissions from electricity use.**Power Source**Standard electricity (costs match conventional vending machines); some prototypes integrate solar power with sodium-ion batteries for enhanced sustainability.**Size & Functionality**Similar to standard drink vending machines—dispenses Asahi beverages while absorbing CO2 passively during operation.**Installation Cost**Comparable to regular vending machines; no premium for the CO2 feature.**Deployment Scale**~500 units installed by end of 2024, with a target of 50,000 units across Japan. Examples include Tokyo Skytree Town and Umeda Station in Osaka.### ****Background and Updates**** - **Launch and Trials**: Announced in May 2023, these were the first CO2-absorbing vending machines in Japan. Initial trials focused on integrating the tech without disrupting vending operations. - **Recent Developments (as of 2025)**: The machines are featured at Expo 2025 in Osaka, with expansions into partnerships like Nishimatsu Construction for carbon-negative building materials. A 2025 prototype highlights sodium-ion battery integration for off-grid use, further reducing emissions. - **Broader Goals**: Asahi aims to contribute to Japan’s carbon neutrality by 2050, using vending networks (Japan has ~2.3 million machines) as a scalable platform for CO2 capture. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/CO2-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=702%2C539&ssl=1 "CO2-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Ashahi Group Holdings --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine at Earthquake](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-at-earthquake/) > [Whale Meat Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) > [Water vending machine – Mumbai](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/water-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Mattress Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mattress-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coined the ‘Dream Machine’, this vending machine dispenses boxed mattresses to winning visitors at the press of a button. **Content:** Coined the ‘Dream Machine’ and located in London’s King’s Cross station, the vending machine dispenses boxed mattresses to winning visitors at the press of a button. It was a marketing initiative by mattress brand [Silentnight](https://www.silentnight.co.uk/mattresses) and created to help Brits get a new mattress, after study revealed 32% of adults are sleeping on one ‘well past its best’, even though 75% of them believe you can’t put a price on a good night’s sleep, while 80% consider a decent mattress to be a sound investment. The study also found 18% have a mattress older than the recommended shelf-life of 7 to 10 years. > So we launched the ‘Dream Machine’ to remind time-strapped commuters of the importance of a good mattress for a good night’s sleep and how easy it can be – whilst giving them the chance to pick-up a comfy new mattress for free in an instant. When asked why they haven’t replaced their mattresses, the study revealed a quarter of them simply haven’t had chance to get a new one. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Bra Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bra-vending-machine/) > [Flat Shoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/flat-shoes-vending-machine/) > [Pajamas Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pajamas-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Sushi Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's frozen sushi vending machines combine cultural tradition with convenience, offering quick, gourmet meals available 24/7 across various locations. **Content:** In [a country](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-japan/) where vending machines dispense everything from hot ramen to fresh eggs, it’s no surprise that Japan has taken another bold step in automated dining: **vending machines that sell frozen sushi**. These high-tech kiosks blend Japan’s deep-rooted sushi culture with its unmatched convenience economy—offering ready-to-eat (or ready-to-thaw) seafood delicacies at any hour, even in unexpected places like highway rest stops, office basements, and rural train stations. Youtuber: [令人驚嘆的日本美食和旅行](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkFqd7PIgUM)### ? **How it works:** Unlike traditional sushi counters where fish is sliced to order, **frozen sushi vending machines** stock pre-packaged, flash-frozen nigiri, rolls, or chirashi bowls. The vending machine is designed for **take-home consumption**, targeting busy salarymen or families looking for a quick, gourmet-quality dinner. ### ? **Why Frozen? Safety, Shelf Life, and Scale** While “frozen sushi” might sound contradictory to purists, Japan’s advanced **flash-freezing technology** (like *sashimi-grade blast freezing*) preserves texture, flavour, and safety—often better than fresh fish stored for hours. Benefits include: - **Extended shelf life**: Reduces food waste in low-traffic areas. - **Consistent quality**: Factories prepare sushi under strict hygiene controls. - **Year-round availability**: Even in regions far from the sea. - **24/7 access**: No need for a chef or operating hours. ### ? **Where to Find Them** Frozen sushi vending machines are increasingly common in: - **Highway service areas (Michi-no-Eki)**: For travelers seeking a taste of Japan on the go. - **Office districts**: Catering to late-night workers in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. - **University campuses**: Affordable, protein-rich meals for students. - **Regional train stations**: Bringing coastal cuisine to inland towns. **Cultural Context: Trust in Automation & Food Safety** Japanese consumers have high trust in both **food safety standards** and **automation**. Decades of innovation—from canned bread to robot ramen—have normalized the idea that machines can deliver quality meals. Add to that Japan’s aging population and shrinking rural workforce, and automated food solutions become not just convenient, but essential. ### ⚠️ **Not Without Critique** Traditionalists argue that sushi is an **artisanal experience**—meant to be eaten moments after preparation, with rice at body temperature and fish glistening fresh. Frozen versions, they say, lack *shari* (the perfect vinegared rice balance) and the chef’s intuition. Yet for many, frozen sushi vending machines represent **pragmatic modernity**: a way to enjoy a cultural staple without the price tag or time commitment of a sushi-ya. **Final note** **In a nation that reveres both tradition and technology**, frozen sushi vending machines embody a quiet revolution: making one of the world’s most iconic cuisines accessible, affordable, and available at 3 a.m. from a machine that hums softly under neon lights. It may not replace omakase—but for a hungry traveler on a rainy night in rural Hokkaido, it’s nothing short of a miracle. ?❄️? --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Bear Meat Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bear-meat-vending-machine/) > [Squid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/squid-vending-machine/) > [Gold Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/gold-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Paw Patrol Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/paw-patrol-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Paw Patrol toy vending machines offer convenient, affordable, and collectible toys, enhancing children's experiences in family-oriented venues. **Content:** Across shopping centres, cinemas, supermarkets, and family entertainment venues, a new kind of hero has taken up residence—not on TV screens alone, but behind the glass of brightly lit vending machines.

Below is one in France that is selling Oyster! The self service shell seller was started by Brigitte and Tony Berthelot, who had been oyster farmers on the French island since 1987 and saw a market for late-night oysters. The oysters in the vending machine come in packages of two- to five-dozen at a cost of 6.90 euro ($8.06) per dozen, the same price as the Berthelot’s adjoining shop. Payment is as simple as inserting your credit card and opening the stainless steel locker. But oysters alone don’t cut it—the Berthelot’s do their best to ensure that anyone can get a full meal from the vending machine if they feel so inclined. In addition to oysters, the lockers offer commodities like paté and sea asparagus. Leave it to the French to go the extra culinary mile, even in the vending machines. ### **General Concept** An oyster vending machine is a unique type of vending machine designed to sell fresh oysters or other seafood items. These machines are equipped with special refrigeration technology to maintain the freshness and safety of the oysters. They might be found in locations close to production areas, such as markets, supermarkets, or regions where seafood like oysters are popular. Customers can select their desired oyster products through buttons or a touchscreen, and then pay using cash, credit card, or mobile payment options. To ensure food safety, operators need to regularly inspect and maintain these machines to keep the internal environment in line with standards for seafood storage temperature and hygiene conditions. It’s noteworthy that different regions may have specific laws and regulations regarding the sale of seafood, especially perishable items like oysters. Therefore, it’s important for operators to comply with local regulations. Additionally, given the particularity of oyster products, especially if intended for raw consumption, consumers should pay attention to the source and safety certification information to ensure they are safe for consumption. This concept showcases an innovative approach to selling seafood directly to consumers, offering convenience while requiring careful management to uphold quality and safety standards. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionary Frozen Sushi Vending Machines in Japan](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) > [Japan’s Whale Meat Revival: Inside Kujira Store Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Mystery Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/railway-mystery-vending-machine/) **Published:** May 22, 2024 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Mystery vending machines at German railway stations offer sealed parcels for €5–€15, attracting interest for potential valuable discoveries. **Content:** A ‘mystery vending machine’ is spotted at a railway station, giving buyers the opportunity to take a punt on the items inside. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Mystery-Vending-Machine.JPG?resize=534%2C816&ssl=1 "Mystery Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Mystery Vending MachineThese enigmatic “mystery” vending machines—often labeled “Mystery-O-Matic” or “Secret Packs”—have become a viral sensation in Germany’s rail network, turning forgotten e-commerce parcels into affordable gambles.

Redditors dream of “finely crafted artificial limbs” from airport lore. - **Misses**: Mostly low-value returns (€10–20 items); one user griped, “All the best stuff’s pocketed by staff.” --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Fake ID Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/fake-id-vending-machine/) > [Insect Snacks Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/nutritious-insect-snacks/) > [Mystery boxes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mystery-boxes-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [日本自動販賣機日：歷史與意義](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/自動販賣機日/) **Published:** October 24, 2025 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 日本的「自動販賣機の日」定於每年3月21日，旨在紀念自動販賣機的發明歷史，並表彰其對社會的貢獻。該日由日本自動販賣協會和サン・ベンディング東北共同制定，於2024年正式註冊。這一天的由來是發明者俵谷高七的生日，他於1888年發明了日本首台香菸自動販賣機。該紀念日希望提高自動販賣機的安全與環保形象，並推廣其文化價值，2025年將舉辦相關活動。 **Content:** 日本的「自動販賣機の日」（じどうはんばいき の ひ），是為了紀念日本自動販賣機的發明歷史而設立的紀念日。該日由[日本自動販賣協會](https://www.jama-vm.com/)（JAMA）和株式会社サン・ベンディング東北共同制定，並於2024年（令和6年）6月由日本紀念日協會正式註冊認定。目的是回顧行業歷史、提升自動販賣機的社會價值與信用度，讓人們認識這項日本獨有的便利文化。 **設立日期與由來** - **日期**：每年**3月21日**。 - **由來**：源自日本最早自動販賣機的發明者[俵谷高七](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%E4%BF%B5%E8%B0%B7%E9%AB%98%E4%B8%83/)（たわらや たかしち）的生日（1854年3月21日）。俵谷高七於1888年（明治21年）發明了日本首台木製香菸自動販賣機，並在內國勸業博覽會展出。這台機器是日本自動販賣機的先驅，雖然當時未廣泛實用化，但奠定了後續發展的基礎。 **背景與意義** 日本是全球自動販賣機密度最高的國家（每23人一台），從飲料、食品到雨傘、花束甚至熱食，販賣機已融入日常生活。該紀念日的設立不僅紀念歷史，還旨在推廣自動販賣機的安心、安全與環保形象。2025年是該日正式註冊後的第二年，預計將有更多相關活動，如宮城縣栗原市的「自販機ミュージアム」展覽，展示13台特色拉花販賣機作為拍照景點。 **相關活動與趣聞** - **2025年活動**：3月21日當天，可能有全國性的推廣活動，例如免費試飲或歷史展覽。宮城縣等地已將販賣機打造成觀光景點，吸引遊客體驗「日本自販機文化」。 - **日本自販機歷史簡介**： - 1888年：俵谷高七發明首台香菸販賣機。 - 1904年：俵谷再發明自動郵票明信片售賣機（現存日本最古老機型）。 - 1962年：飲料販賣機本格普及，開啟現代自販機時代。 - 目前，日本約有200萬台販賣機，年營業額逾4兆日圓，遠超其他國家。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [俵谷高七：日本自動販賣機的先驅](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e4%bf%b5%e8%b0%b7%e9%ab%98%e4%b8%83/) > [香港學校 自助借書機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a6%99%e6%b8%af%e5%ad%b8%e6%a0%a1%e8%87%aa%e5%8a%a9%e5%80%9f%e6%9b%b8%e6%a9%9f/) > [盲盒 自動售賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%9b%b2%e7%9b%92-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e5%94%ae%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 知識 --- ### [Amazon Drugs Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/amazon-drugs-vending-machine/) **Published:** November 11, 2025 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Amazon plans to introduce prescription drug vending machines at One Medical clinics, enabling immediate medication pick-up post-appointment. **Content:** [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/) is adding vending machines stocked with prescription drugs to its One Medical clinics, allowing patients to pick up their medications immediately after their appointment. A wide range of common prescriptions will be available for kiosk collection, including antibiotics, inhalers, and blood pressure medication. The company announced that the Amazon Pharmacy kiosks will be available at One Medical offices across Los Angeles starting in December, with plans to later expand to other locations. Amazon says the specific inventory for kiosks will vary based on the “prescribing patterns of each office location,” and that they won’t distribute controlled substances or medications that require refrigeration. The vending machines aim to make it easier for people to collect essential meds without traveling to a dedicated pharmacy, helping to reduce delays and the number of prescriptions that never get filled. Patients can choose to have their provider send prescriptions to an Amazon Pharmacy for collection at in-office kiosks. These are then verified by one of the company’s pharmacists, with patients able to check out using a QR code on the Amazon mobile app and collect their drugs “in minutes,” according to the press release. “We know that when patients have to make an extra trip to the pharmacy after seeing their doctor, many prescriptions never get filled,” Amazon Pharmacy operations president Hannah McClellan said in the announcement. “By bringing the pharmacy directly to the point of care, we’re removing a critical barrier and helping patients start their treatment when it matters most — right away.” People who use the Amazon Pharmacy kiosks will also have access to phone and video consultations with the company’s pharmacy team to resolve queries about their medications, “just as they would at a traditional pharmacy counter,” said McClellan. This comes as brick and mortar pharmacies across the US struggle against growing competition and falling drug margins, with Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens locations having shuttered in recent years — reducing access to in-person prescription pick-ups. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [KFC Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/kfc-vending-machine/) > [Mystery Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/railway-mystery-vending-machine/) > [Japan Pancake Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dorayaki-pancake-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Restaurant Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/restaurant-vending-machines/) **Published:** June 6, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's hot food vending machines offer convenient, freshly prepared meals, including ramen and bento boxes, enhancing fast-paced lifestyles. **Content:** Hot food vending machines in Japan represent a fascinating aspect of the country’s advanced [vending machine culture](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-japan/), offering a wide variety of freshly prepared or heated meals at any time of day.

The vending machine is packed with the popular wireless “Fun Fun Week” bras.

Others suggested that it was ideal for male customers who liked to wear women’s underwear. If anything, this seems like a Wacoal publicity stunt, which is something the Japanese lingerie company often does. It sure is working! Not all commentators were completely against the vending machine, and there were those who thought the novelty aspect was interesting.

As a result, through the vending machine recordings, scientists discovered that the Okinawan rails have a special call that can *only* be heard within this specific frequency. Because no other animals use the frequency, it is now thought that this unique trait of the rails evolved in the Yanbaru forests for protective reasons. > This project had a unique approach to studying birds’ biology, and that was to use environmental sounds. From those sounds, the distinct traits of both the Okinawan rail and the Yanbaru forests were understood for the first time. > > Yukihiko Nakamura There has never been a large number of Okinawan rails, but their numbers are decreasing as traffic in the region increases, and they’re being hit by cars. The Ministry of the Environment declared a state of emergency in 2007 and 2010. The biological survey revealed that Okinawan rails might have a harder time sensing approaching cars during rainy weather. As a result, conservationists are hoping that in the future, specific measures to prevent the birds’ traffic deaths will be taken under consideration. Nakamura explained the details of this undertaking, saying > In the future, we hope that by researching man-made noise’s effect on the Okinawan rail, we will be able to help to prevent their extinction. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Ecological-Research.jpg?resize=580%2C315&ssl=1 "Ecological Research - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Okinawan-Rail.jpg?resize=596%2C334&ssl=1 "Okinawan Rail - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionary Vending Machines: Facial Recognition and Your Snacks](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-uses-facial-recognition-deny-snacks/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) > [Peak Shift Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/peak-shift-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Nikefuel points Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pop-up-nikefuel-points-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Nike's pop-up vending machines allowed users to redeem NikeFuel points for exclusive merchandise, enhancing engagement with Nike+ devices. **Content:** In a clever marketing stunt, [Nike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike,_Inc.) has installed a pop-up Nikefuel Points vending machine that only accepts its NikeFuel points as payment. The machine, which will move between a series of undisclosed locations, is stocked with Nike hats, socks and shirts.

Every activity generated **NikeFuel**—a universal metric (1 NikeFuel ≈ a standardized unit of movement). 2. **Visit the Pop-Up Machine**: Located in high-energy zones—such as **Shibuya (Tokyo)**, **Westfield London**, or **Nike Town NYC**—these sleek, LED-lit kiosks looked like futuristic capsules. 3. **Log In & Redeem**: - Tap your **Nike+ FuelBand** on the machine’s NFC reader, **or** - Log in via touchscreen using your Nike+ account - View your available NikeFuel balance 4. **Choose a Reward**: Rewards were tiered by point cost: - **500 NikeFuel**: Limited-edition Nike+ wristbands or decals - **1,000 NikeFuel**: Performance socks or headbands - **2,000+ NikeFuel**: Exclusive T-shirts, compression gear, or even invites to Nike training sessions - **Top-tier**: Chance to win meet-and-greets with athletes or custom shoe designs 5. **Instant Dispense**: The selected item would drop from a compartment—just like a classic vending machine—but with a premium, curated feel. --- ### ? **Presence in Japan (2014)** While Nike’s biggest FuelBand and Nike+ push was in the U.S. and Europe, **Japan saw activations too**, especially in **Tokyo**: - A **NikeFuel Vending Machine** was installed during the **2014 Tokyo Marathon Expo** at Odaiba’s Ariake Coliseum. - It appeared in **Shibuya’s NikeLab or pop-up zones**, targeting tech-savvy youth and runners. - Given Japan’s affinity for **collectible merch and gamified loyalty**, the concept resonated well—even if the FuelBand itself had modest adoption compared to Fitbit or local brands. These machines were often paired with **live Nike+ challenges**, such as “Earn 1,500 Fuel this week and redeem a Japan-exclusive running towel.” --- ### ? **Strategic Purpose:** Nike wasn’t selling products—it was **driving engagement**: - Encourage daily use of Nike+ devices - Build emotional loyalty through **instant gratification** - Create **social buzz**: Users posted unboxings of their “vended” gear on Instagram with #FuelYourWin - Test **phygital (physical + digital) retail** long before it became mainstream --- ### ⏳ **Why It Ended:** The vending machines were always **temporary experiential marketing tools**—not a permanent retail solution. **Nike exited the wearable hardware business** in 2014–2015, discontinuing the FuelBand. The **NikeFuel metric was phased out by 2018**, replaced by app-based metrics in **Nike Run Club** and **Nike Training Club**. ### ? **Legacy & Influence:** The 2014 NikeFuel Vending Machine was ahead of its time. It foreshadowed trends now common in retail: - **Gamified loyalty programs** (e.g., Starbucks Rewards, Sephora Beauty Insider) - **Instant redemption kiosks** (like UNIQLO To Go or Adidas’ Speedfactory pop-ups) - **Personalized, data-driven product dispensing** --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Safer sex Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safer-sex-vending-machine/) > [Ecological Research Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ecological-research-vending-machine/) > [Mount Fuji’s Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-mount-fuji/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Worksafe Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/workplace-safety-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** WorkSafe Victoria’s Body-O-Matic vending machine highlights workplace safety by selling spare body parts, raising awareness of preventable injuries. **Content:** Unfortunately, there’s no easy fix when it comes to work place incidents.

However, **some private clubs or hotel concierge floors** have tested **ID-locked champagne dispensers**, including Moët—**not accessible to the general public**. --- ### ⚠️ **********Legal & Practical Barriers********** - **Age Verification**: Most countries **ban open-access alcohol vending machines** due to underage drinking concerns. Any legal unit must include **ID scanning, facial recognition, or staff oversight**. - **Temperature Control**: Champagne must be stored **chilled (6–10°C)**, requiring expensive refrigerated units. - **Brand Protection**: Moët & Chandon guards its luxury image carefully—so vending is used **selectively**, not as mass retail. --- ### ? **********Not in Public Streets or Malls********** You **won’t find a Moët vending machine** on a city sidewalk, in a regular mall, or at a train station.

One interesting fact about mystery boxes in vending machines is their ability to create a unique customer experience by leveraging the thrill of unpredictability. This concept taps into the human fascination with surprises and the excitement of not knowing exactly what you’re going to get, which can be especially appealing to collectors, gamers, and novelty seekers. ### ****Gachapon machines**** A notable example of this approach is seen in Japan, where ‘gachapon’ machines, akin to vending machines, dispense capsules containing random toys, figures, or collectibles. These machines are popular for offering everything from anime character figurines to practical joke items, often themed around current trends or classic favorites. The limited edition and exclusive items sometimes found in these machines encourage repeat engagement and can foster a community aspect among enthusiasts who trade or collect the items. Incorporating mystery boxes into vending machines enhances user interaction and provides a fun, engaging experience that goes beyond the typical transactional nature of such machines. It’s a strategy that has been successfully applied in various settings to increase foot traffic and generate buzz around products or promotions. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [POKÉMON VENDING MACHINE](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pokemon-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines: From Crickets to Collectibles](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Hydrogen-Powered Vending Machines Unveiled](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hydrogen-powered-vending-machine/) **Published:** October 28, 2025 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan and Fuji Electric launched the world's first hydrogen-powered vending machine at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, aiming for emission-free operation. **Content:** As of late 2024 and early 2025, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. and [Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.](https://www.fujielectric.com/about/business/detail/food_beverage_distribution.html) have co-developed and unveiled a **hydrogen-cartridge-powered vending machine**, the world’s first of its kind.

The technology is currently a proof-of-concept and has not been announced for broad commercial sale. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Hydrogen-Powered-Vending-Machine.png?resize=1024%2C545&ssl=1 "Hydrogen-Powered Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Hydrogen Powered Vending Machine**How the machine works** The hydrogen-powered vending machine operates independently of the electrical grid by generating its own power on-site through a fuel cell. - The machine consists of two parts: a standard vending unit and an adjacent generator module. - Inside the generator, a **replaceable hydrogen cartridge** is loaded. - The system uses a fuel cell to create a chemical reaction between the hydrogen from the cartridge and oxygen from the air. - This reaction generates electricity, which is then stored in a battery to power the machine’s cooling, display, and vending functions. **Advantages and challenges** Hydrogen-powered vending machines produce zero emissions and can operate off-grid using replaceable cartridges, offering placement flexibility and uninterrupted service during power outages. They utilize hydrogen as a high-density energy source and are estimated to be more energy-efficient than traditional models. **Peak Shift Vending Machine** This is another major contribution to environmental protection.

These automated dispensers let you sample premium nihonshu (sake) by inserting a coin or token, selecting a brewery, and watching a shot pour into your cup. It’s a low-stakes way to explore regional flavors: crisp daiginjo from Niigata’s snowy fields or robust junmai from Tokyo’s urban breweries. Priced at ~100 yen (under $0.70 USD) per 30–50ml pour, they’re a budget-friendly gateway for tourists and locals alike, often in stations or shops where you can pair sips with onigiri or cheese. No bartenders needed—just pure, self-serve discovery. ![Japanese Sake Tasting Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Japanese-Sake-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=400%2C227&ssl=1 "Japanese-Sake-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")### ****How they work**** **Setup**: Wall-mounted rows of mini-machines (like upscale gachapon) with digital displays showing brewery info, taste profiles (e.g., fruity, dry, umami), and a tiny map pinpointing origins. **Tasting Process**: Buy a reusable cup and tokens (e.g., 500 yen for 5 pours). Place cup under the nozzle, insert token/coin, hit the button—sake flows in seconds. Machines auto-fill to prevent spills. **Variety**: Focus on local sakes; some spots offer 30–100+ brands. Labels guide newbies: “Sweet & Light” vs. “Bold & Earthy.” **Etiquette Tip**: Sip slowly—it’s tasting, not chugging. Many spots sell snacks (pickles, jerky) to cleanse the palate. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) > [Japan Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-japan/) > [Disaster Relief Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/disaster-relief-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Ninja Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ninja-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A Japanese designer created a vending machine disguise to help women evade threats, reflecting unique cultural values around safety and creativity. **Content:** On a narrow Tokyo street, near a beef bowl restaurant and a pachinko parlor, [Aya Tsukioka](https://peoplepill.com/i/aya-tsukioka) demonstrated Ninja Vending Machine that she hopes will ease Japan’s growing fears of crime. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Ninja-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=350%2C329&ssl=1 "Ninja Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Ms. Tsukioka, a 29-year-old experimental fashion designer, lifted a flap on her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers — by disguising herself as a vending machine. These elaborate defenses are coming at a time when crime rates are actually declining in Japan. But the Japanese, sensitive to the slightest signs of social fraying, say they feel growing anxiety about safety, fanned by sensationalist news media. Instead of pepper spray, though, they are devising a variety of novel solutions reflecting a peculiarly Japanese sensibility. While Americans want to protect themselves from criminals, or even strike back, the creators say many Japanese favor camouflage and deception, reflecting a culture that abhors self-assertion, even in self-defense. > It is just easier for Japanese to hide as making a scene would be too embarrassing. > > Ms. Tsuioka Ms. Tsuioka said her Ninja vending machine disguise was inspired by a trick used by the ancient ninja, who cloaked themselves in black blankets at night. “Japanese society won’t just laugh, so inventors are not afraid to try new things,” said Takumi Hirai, chairman of Japan’s largest association of individual inventors, the 10,000-member Hatsumeigakkai. Mr. Kawakami said that while some of Japan’s anticrime devices might not seem practical, they were valuable because they might lead to even better ideas. “Even useless things can be useful,” he said. “The weird logic of these inventions helps us see the world in fresh ways.” Ms. Tsukioka said she chose the vending-machine motif because the machines are so common on Japan’s streets. Ms. Tsukioka said her disguises could be a bit impractical, “especially when your hands are shaking.” Still, she said she hoped the designs or some variation of them could be marketed widely. So far, she said, she has sold about 20 vending-machine skirts, printing and sewing each by hand. She said she had never heard of a skirt’s actually preventing a crime. But on a recent afternoon in Tokyo, bystanders stared as she unfolded the sheet. But once she stood behind it next to a row of actual vending machines, the image proved persuasive enough camouflage that passers-by did not seem to notice her. She said that while her ideas might be fanciful, Japan’s willingness to indulge the imagination was one of its cultural strengths. > These ideas might strike foreigners as far-fetched, but in Japan, they can become reality. > > Ms. Tsukioka --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines Raising Awareness for Workplace Hazards](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/workplace-safety-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine Experience](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-experience/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Vending Machine for Disaster](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/red-cross-charity-donation-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coca-Cola Japan's donation button vending machines enable quick contributions for disaster relief, fostering solidarity and community support nationwide. **Content:** After the **March 11, 2011** earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis, Japan faced unprecedented humanitarian needs. With infrastructure damaged and supply chains disrupted, **Coca-Cola Japan** leveraged its extensive vending machine network—over **700,000 units nationwide**—to support recovery efforts. In collaboration with the **[Japanese Red Cross Society](https://www.jrc.or.jp/english/)**, Coca-Cola launched a **special vending machine campaign** that allowed consumers to **make small, instant donations** with the press of a button. --- ### ? **How the “Donation Button” Vending Machine Works** These are **standard Coca-Cola beverage vending machines** (selling drinks like Coke, Aquarius, and Georgia Coffee), but with one key addition: - A clearly marked red button labeled: **“寄付する” (Kifu suru – “Make a Donation”)** or **“支援ボタン” (Shien botan – “Support Button”)** --- ### ? **Where Are These Machines Located?** - **Nationwide**, but especially in: - **Train stations** (JR East, Tokyo Metro) - **Convenience store exteriors** (FamilyMart, Lawson) - **Public parks, schools, and office buildings** - Machines are **clearly branded** with Japanese Red Cross and Coca-Cola logos. - During major disasters (e.g., **Kumamoto earthquakes in 2016**, **Hokkaido typhoon in 2018**), Coca-Cola **reactivates or expands** the campaign. --- ### ? **Impact & Scale** - Since 2011, **millions of donations** have been made via these machines. - In the first year alone (2011–2012), over **10 million button presses** generated **¥1 billion+** (≈$10M) in combined corporate and public goodwill funding. - The program has become a **symbol of “kizuna” (bonds of solidarity)** in Japanese disaster culture. --- ### ? **Why It’s Innovative** - **Frictionless giving**: No app, no wallet—just a button press during daily life. - **Trust & transparency**: Partnership with the **highly respected Japanese Red Cross** ensures credibility. - **Shared responsibility**: Coca-Cola pays, but the public **participates symbolically**, creating emotional investment. - **Permanent readiness**: Machines remain active even in peacetime, ready to scale during crises. --- ### **Cultural Resonance** In Japan, where **public modesty and collective action** are valued, the donation button allows people to contribute **quietly, instantly, and without fanfare**—aligning perfectly with cultural norms. It turns a mundane act (buying a drink) into a **moment of compassion**. --- ### ✅ **Current Status** The **Coca-Cola × Japanese Red Cross Donation Button Vending Machine** remains **active across Japan**. While not every Coca-Cola machine has the button, thousands do—and the program is **reactivated or highlighted during emergencies**.

It won a **Grand Prix** at the 2011 Prix Média awards in the under-$250K campaign category, praised for its clever media buy and emotional punch. - **The Concept**: Repurposed coin-operated machines (like soda vendors) were wrapped in faux “deposit” branding, but instead of drinks, inserting a coin (e.g., $1–$2) dispensed motivational notes, literacy facts, or QR-linked resources—not literal words, but “deposits” into your knowledge bank. Some versions “vended” mini-booklets or referral cards to Info-Alpha (their helpline: 1-866-334-Alpha). - **Interactive Twist**: Machines displayed stats like “Illiteracy costs Quebec $1.5B yearly” or “1 in 2 adults struggles with forms,” urging inserts for a “word boost.” Tie-in ads encouraged donations to fund real books for kids. - **Goal**: Demystify literacy barriers in high-traffic spots, sparking conversations. It aligned with their *Gift of Reading*, where donors “buy” books for needy families. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Literacy-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=425%2C600&ssl=1 "Literacy Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The campaign generated buzz—media pickups in Infopresse and Le Devoir—boosting helpline calls by 20% and donations for Gift of Reading (now serving 50K+ kids yearly).

This wasn’t your average snack dispenser—it was a forward-thinking experiment in crypto payments, perfectly suited to the lab’s innovative, future-of-food-and-finance crowd. No cash, no cards—just BTC for your nutrient-packed bottle. ### **What It Was** - **Concept**: A standard-looking vending machine retrofitted for Bitcoin, dispensing bottles of Soylent 2.0 (the vanilla or chocolate ready-to-drink version at the time). Users scanned a QR code with their wallet app, sent the exact BTC amount (adjusted for real-time exchange rates, around $2-3 per bottle), and grabbed their drink. It highlighted early crypto adoption in everyday scenarios, blending Soylent’s “food as tech” ethos with Bitcoin’s decentralized vibe. - **Purpose**: Spearheaded by Media Lab folks (including director Joi Ito), it was a demo of seamless, low-friction crypto transactions. As one report quipped, it was “the vending machine that survives the robot apocalypse”—stocked with sustenance for coders who might not surface for days. - **Tech Twist**: Powered by simple blockchain integration; no fancy Lightning Network yet (that came later in MIT demos). It even tied into broader lab projects on digital currencies. ### **When and Where** - **Launch and Timeline**: Debuted around mid-2016 (first buzz in July), after months of hype on social media. It was a semi-permanent fixture but likely phased out as tech evolved—by 2017, mentions faded, and no signs of it running today. - **Location**: Right in the MIT Media Lab building (E14 on the Cambridge, MA campus), down the hall from project spaces. Easy access for students, researchers, and visitors fueling late-night hacks. - **Availability**: Bottles were always limited (photos show it half-empty), emphasizing exclusivity over mass sales. ### **Impact and Legacy** This machine sparked viral chatter for symbolizing a dystopian-yet-cool future: crypto-fueled, Soylent-sustained efficiency. It inspired other Bitcoin vending experiments worldwide but stayed niche. Fast-forward to 2025: MIT’s still crypto-forward (e.g., their Lit software for Lightning Network payments), but you’ll find regular snack machines on campus now. Soylent? Widely available online or at MIT co-ops, payable in USD (or BTC via some retailers). > Vending machine at [@medialab](https://twitter.com/medialab?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) accepts bitcoin, stocked only with [@soylent](https://twitter.com/soylent?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).

香港這個「亞洲國際都會」好玩的地方太多了，不曉得怎麼選擇？讓我們告訴您！ **太平山** 坐落在太平山頂的凌霄閣海拔高度396米，是香港最有特色的建築物。凌霄閣內有各式餐廳、商店和娛樂場所，往窗口俯瞰還能看到壯觀的香港樓林。要是想將香港的風景一覽無遺，那就肯定要拜訪凌霄閣的360度天空露台了。 **星光大道** 為了向香港電影業對香港的貢獻致敬，相關部門花了4000萬港幣建設了這條星光大道。星光大道安躺在尖沙咀的維多利亞港海濱上，設計主要是仿照荷里活的星光大道（Walk of Fame）而制。 **幻彩詠香江** 幻彩詠香江是吉尼斯世界記錄記載最大型的燈光音樂劇場，該劇場就有維港兩岸超過四十座的大樓參與演出。幻彩詠香江每晚8點開始, 利用了與音樂節奏同步閃爍的各色燈光，表達了香港的多元而充滿能量的形象 。 **香港迪士尼樂園** 香港大嶼山竹篙灣的迪士尼樂園是迪士尼區的第一個遊樂場，同時也是第五個魔法王國式的主題樂園。快和你重要的另一半一起來體驗這個夢幻國度吧！ **香港海洋公園** 香港海洋公園是其中一個大熱點，是來香港的必去之處。根據Forbes 的報告，海洋公園至今已經贏下了不少榮譽和獎項，包括世界第七大最受歡迎主題公園和世界第三十三大最多遊客拜訪的主題公園。 **昂坪360** 大嶼山的昂坪區保育了當地的生態特色和民族文化，讓你在踏入昂坪360纜車的時候能感受到大自然的清新。昂坪村在大嶼山佔有了1.5公頃的土地，坐落在昂坪360纜車站和天壇大佛像的旁邊。 在寶蓮寺中央的地壇上往西南方向望去，就能看到要爬上268階石階才能到達的天壇大佛跟前。天壇大佛是現存最大的室外銅像。 **淺水灣** 淺水灣（Repulse Bay）這個名字是源於19世紀時英軍在當地擊退海盜的事情（“Repulse”在英文中解作“擊退”）。如今，淺水灣已經是一個擁有陽光與海灘的高級住宅區，不少旅客和香港人都因為當地的美景而前去遊玩。 **香港仔與珍寶王國** 香港仔是不少生活在漁船上漁民的家，這與香港不少現代化的區域形成鮮明的對比。要是想進一步了解香港仔生活的話，那就一定要拜訪一下珍寶王國了。珍寶王國是賭王何鴻燊博士的傑作，裡面著名的珍寶海鮮舫餐廳成立於1976年。 珍寶王國的整個設計和建設總共花了4年去完成。裝修主要是以中國古代皇室的設計為風格。 **蘭桂坊** 每到晚上，蘭桂坊街上的各式酒吧、夜店和餐廳裡傳出的歡笑聲總是令這裡青春洋溢。對於一些Party的愛好者，就一定要拜訪一次蘭桂坊了。只要一次，你就一定會愛上這裡！ **荷里活道** 對於不少游客而言，來到香港的話就一定要拜訪一下荷里活道和摩羅上街了。荷里活街上的商店幾乎都是賣精巧而富有地方韻味的古玩，對於遊客而言這裡絕對是買手信和紀念品的最佳去處。店裡的商品就包括明朝蓮花燈等家具，甚至是毛澤東時代的黨徽、鼻煙壺也有賣。 至於附近的文武廟，這是為了供奉文昌和武帝而設的寺廟。文武廟坐落在整條荷里活道中間的位置，由於裡面的香經常更換，因此文武廟總是被硝煙籠罩，感覺十分神聖。 **赤柱市集和美利樓** 赤柱市集是香港島南面的一個人氣市集。夏日市集輕鬆的氣氛、溫柔的海風，加上物超所值的商品，都令週末變得十分熱鬧。 在市集裡，你可以找各種絲綢制服裝、運動裝備以及各種藝術作品、中國服飾和紀念品。在購物過後，市集旁邊有許多豪華餐廳供你選擇，像是美利樓就是其中一個好去處。 **女人街** 對於經常訪港的旅客，應該都會對女人街感到毫不陌生。女人街到處都是超級實惠的服飾、包包和首飾店鋪，種類之多保證你能找到適合你口味的商品！ **廟街夜市** 廟街是一個在香港佐敦和油麻地最繁忙的跳蚤市場。每到了夜晚，無論是遊客還是香港人都十分喜歡聚在廟街逛。 **花園街** 要是說女人街是最繁忙的一條商店街，那麼花園街就是最富有香港特色、最適合消費主義者光臨的商店街了。 在花園街里能買到的商品數之不盡，被商店擺放到街上的貨物逼擠著人行道，使這條街幾乎只允許一個人通過，這使得貨品的供應商每次都要用桿子才能將貨物送到店主手裡。 **玉器市場** 坐落在彌敦道和甘肅街的玉器市場售賣各種不同來自東亞的玉器。一般翡翠玉器這種裝飾品都主要是產自東亞的，而香港則是世界上最大的玉器交易市場。 買家可以在玉器市場買到各種不同樣式的玉器，像是玉鐲、玉做的動物雕像和佛像等。當中也不乏一些專門作為紀念品手信賣出的玉器製品，讓你可以買下曾經遊覽此地的回憶。 玉器市場中最為珍貴的是純綠色的玉。在高級玉器的成品中應該是會有黃色的色調，當中不應該有灰色或者棕色的物質混雜。至於最高質的硬玉應該呈半透明色，因此不夠透明或者內涵雲狀雜質的玉器價值往往會比較低。 玉器市場的營業時間是早上10點帶下午3點半。 **園圃街雀鳥花園/ 花市/ 金魚街** 園圃街雀鳥花園充斥著濃厚的中國風味，在這裡聚集了許多鳴鳥愛好者，帶著他們花俏的鳥籠和愛鳥在這裡游盪。 同時，在這裡也有著70間雀鳥攤位、庭院和月洞門。開放時間是早上的7點到晚上8點。 至於園圃街的花市，這裡有賣各種顏色、形狀、香味的花朵，總能滿足你的喜好。 園圃街的花市就像是一個充滿異地花朵的大森林，從50間花店裡散發出纏人的花香像是能為你帶來好運與祝福。能夠在花市裡邊逛邊欣賞各式各樣的花朵絕對是一種享受。花店的賣家總能為你提供非常實惠的售價，讓你選擇各式充滿香氣的美艷花朵。花市同時也有出售象徵好運的盆栽和其他室內植物。 金魚街坐落在太子道以西的通菜街上，是魚兒愛好者常去購買與魚相關產品的地方。整條街的商店幾乎都有賣五顏六色的魚，從淡水魚到深海魚，你叫得出的家魚都有賣！ **黃大仙廟** 黃大仙廟是香港其中一個最有名的寺廟，是為了紀念道教仙人黃初平而建的寺廟。由於黃大仙廟是以能為虔誠的拜訪者帶來好運而聞名的寺廟，所以旅客和香港人經常會來這裡祈求好運。 **金紫荊廣場** 1997年，香港從英國百年殖民上回歸祖國，建立香港特別行政區政府。中國中央政府為了紀念此刻，特地贈送了金紫荊像於香港。金紫荊像放置在會議展覽中心外的金紫荊廣場中央，面朝灣仔海濱。 香港的升旗儀式會在每天的早上7點50分到8點05分進行。 **大澳漁村** 坐落在水道的分岔口，大澳漁村正正是一個體驗中國傳統生活的好地方。漁村裡的住宅都是以樁子支撐建立在水面上的，村里羊腸小道邊的商店售賣魚獲和其他日用品。當地的居民一般都是當時第一批從中國遷至香港的南中國後代。 **香港濕地公園** 香港濕地公園作為世界級的生態旅遊熱點，裡面住滿了形形色色的濕地動物，像是鳥類、蜻蜓、蝴蝶和魚等等。香港濕地公園希望能在未來協助推廣綠色旅遊、環境教育和環保，做到保護濕地的效果。 --- ### ******其他****文章********** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [澳門旅遊景點](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%be%b3%e9%96%80%e6%97%85%e9%81%8a%e6%99%af%e9%bb%9e/) > [棋盤遊戲自動販賣機的創新推廣](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%a3%8b%e7%9b%a4%e9%81%8a%e6%88%b2%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [探索比華利山的魚子醬自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%ad%9a%e5%ad%90%e9%86%ac%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 知識 --- ### [Emotion Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/emotion-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 17, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Benayoun's 2006 Emotion Vending Machine critiques the commodification of emotions in digital culture, offering a satirical reflection on technology's impact on feelings. **Content:** Unveiled in 2006 during a period of rapid growth in social media, biometric surveillance, and user profiling, [Benayoun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Benayoun)’s *Emotion Vending Machine* functioned as a **satirical yet poignant commentary** on how technology increasingly **packages, markets, and trades human feelings** as consumable data. **The work asked:** > *Can emotions be bottled, priced, and sold like soda? And if so, what does that say about our digital selves?* ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Emotion-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=600%2C339&ssl=1 "Emotion Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")--- ### ? **How the Installation Worked** The piece took the physical form of a **retro-style vending machine**, evoking 1950s Americana, but instead of snacks or drinks, it offered **vials or capsules labeled with emotions** such as: - **Love** - **Hope** - **Fear** - **Melancholy** - **Euphoria** - **Indifference** #### Interactive Experience: 1. **Selection**: Viewers chose an emotion from the machine’s illuminated display. 2. **“Purchase”**: In most iterations, the machine was **free to use**—emphasizing that the *illusion* of transaction was part of the critique. 3. **Dispensing**: A small container (often a test tube or pill bottle) labeled with the chosen emotion would be released. 4. **Revelation**: Inside, instead of a substance, users might find: - A **printed phrase** (“Love is a temporary psychosis” – *Bertrand Russell*) - A **QR code** linking to a digital poem or video (in later versions) - **Empty space**—highlighting the **impossibility of bottling true feeling** In some gallery versions, the machine was connected to **bio-sensors**: your **heart rate or facial expression** would “determine” which emotion you “qualified” for—mimicking real-world affective algorithms. ### ? **Thematic Significance** --- Benayoun, a pioneer in virtual reality and interactive art, used the vending machine as a metaphor for: - **The illusion of emotional control** in digital culture - **Surveillance capitalism’s appetite for affective data** - **The medicalization and commercialization of inner life** (e.g., mood-enhancing apps, antidepressants, “wellness” tech) - **The paradox of choice**: endless emotional options, yet deeper alienation As he stated in a 2007 interview: > *“We are taught to ‘manage’ our emotions like a portfolio. The Emotion Vending Machine is the logical endpoint: emotion as a branded product, available 24/7, with a satisfaction guarantee.”* --- ### ? **Exhibition History** - First presented in **2006** at **La Gaîté Lyrique** (then under development) and **Centre Pompidou** satellite events in Paris - Featured in **Transmediale-related dialogues** (though **not part of the official 2006 Transmediale** curated by Anne-Marie Duguet—sometimes confused due to thematic overlap with “Smile Machines”) - Later shown in **media art festivals** across Europe, Canada, and Asia - Included in Benayoun’s larger body of work on **“emotional cartography”** and **critical digital aesthetics** --- ### ? **Legacy & Relevance Today** In an era of: - **AI mood trackers** - **Meta’s emotion-recognition patents** - **TikTok algorithms that amplify outrage or joy** - **“Feel-good” tech like mood rings 2.0** …Benayoun’s 2006 installation feels **eerily prescient**. It anticipated how **emotion would become the new oil**—extracted, refined, and sold back to us. The *Emotion Vending Machine* remains a touchstone in **media art, digital humanities, and critical design**—a reminder that **some things should never be dispensed by a machine**, no matter how shiny the interface. > ? *Insert coin.

It encourages mindful consumption and global awareness among the campus community. **Content:** A charity vending machine that supports educations in Cambodia was installed at COOP Life Center on [Nishi-Chiba Campus](https://www.chiba-u.jp/e/about/Nishichiba_campus.pdf) with 2% of its sales go towards the education fund, offering students, faculty, and visitors a simple yet meaningful way to contribute to global education equity with every purchase. The project is part of a broader university-led effort to promote **social responsibility and global citizenship** among the campus community. Managed in collaboration with student volunteer groups and international NGOs, the vending machine not only raises funds but also serves as a **visible reminder of global interconnectedness**—turning an everyday act like buying a drink into a gesture of solidarity. Brightly labeled with information about the cause it supports—including photos, facts about education challenges in Cambodia, and impact metrics—the machine encourages mindful consumption. QR codes on its surface allow users to learn more about the partner organizations and even track how their contributions are making a difference. “This isn’t just a vending machine—it’s a small window into how daily choices can create ripple effects across the world,” said a representative from the campus cooperative. “We hope it inspires students to think beyond their immediate surroundings and engage with global issues in tangible ways.” Located in the bustling COOP Life Center—a hub for student life, shopping, and services—the charity vending machine stands as a quiet yet powerful symbol of Chiba University’s commitment to **education, sustainability, and international cooperation**. Every can of tea, bottle of water, or soft drink purchased doesn’t just quench thirst—it helps light a path to learning for a child thousands of kilometers away. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Cupcake Vending Machine: Sweet Solutions for Late Night Cravings](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cupcake-vending-machine/) > [Promoting Literacy with a Kindness Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-dispenses-books-to-share-kindness/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Campaign Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/corporate-campaign-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The post explores an innovative cartoon concept of a corporate campaign vending machine potentially revolutionising voting methods. **Content:** An interesting Cartoon showing Corporate Campaign Vending Machine.

This often means making difficult decisions between spending our money in the UK or abroad.

It encourages donations for the tap water people often take for granted, having raised nearly $2.5 million by providing clean water access in countries like Haiti, Iraq, and Vietnam. The “Dirty Water” vending machine was a standout guerrilla marketing stunt within this project, designed to shock passersby into action by literally selling contaminated water. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/dirty-water-vending-machine-e1470967477855.jpg?resize=300%2C449&ssl=1 "dirty water vending machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")### ****How the “Dirty Water” Vending Machine Worked**** - **The Concept**: Created by ad agency Casanova Pendrill (now part of McCann) with a $0 budget, the machine repurposed a broken-down vending unit into a stark symbol of the crisis. For **$1** (via cash, text “TAP” to 864233, or online), users “bought” a bottle of murky, brown water laced with visible particles—safe but unpalatable—to mimic what 1 billion people drink daily. - **The “Flavors”**: Eight buttons labeled deadly waterborne diseases common in developing regions, turning a routine purchase into a gut-punch: - Malaria - Cholera - Typhoid - Dengue - Hepatitis - Dysentery - Salmonella - Yellow Fever - **Messaging**: The machine blared facts like “4,200 children die daily from water-related diseases” and “Thirsty? So are millions around the world with no access to clean water. Just $1 provides 40 days of safe water for a child.” Bottles included donation receipts and UNICEF info. - **The Impact**: Nobody drank the water (as footage shows shocked reactions), but it sparked viral media coverage (e.g., NYT, Inhabitat) and boosted donations beyond expectations.

Unsurprisingly, while many people chose to pass on the contaminated water, they did choose to donate money to the Tap Project fund, either by putting money directly into the vending machine, or by text donations.

The inventor of this vending machine was a furniture artisan by the name Tawaraya Koshichi. Why Japan loves vending machines? Three main reasons are usually attributed: 1. **Japan’s low crime rate** – vending machines, whether inside or outside, are seldom broken into. 2. **Japan’s love for convenience** – the ability to purchase whatever you want wherever you want is culturally appealing. 3. **Japan’s knack for quirky cool and the quest for the latest trend** – who wouldn’t queue up to be one of the first to buy something not available anywhere else? ### **Fun Fact about vending machine in Japan** - Japan has over 5 million vending machines nationwide. - Japan has approximately 1 vending machine for every 23 people. - Annual sales from vending machines total more than $60 million USD. - If all Japanese vending machines were placed side by side, it would extend from Tokyo all the way to Hawaii. - Japanese vending machines can accept many forms of payment. - Employees who restock Coca-Cola system vending machines in Japan also engage in crime prevention initiatives to keep neighborhoods safe. If they notice any suspicious activity or see someone who may need help these Coke employees alert local police or fire stations, or provide assistance themselves. ### **Getting a vending machine in Japan** An interested person can apply for a vending machine. Once the management approves the application, they need to pay an installation charge of about 10,000 Yen. The vending machine is then set up for them at the chosen spot from the available ones. If you get a good spot, the vending machine can be a very lucrative business. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionizing Poolside Fashion: The Quiksilver Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/swimsuit-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Facebook Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/facebook-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Facebook's CIO Tim Campos introduced vending machines for IT accessories, improving employee satisfaction and accountability while reducing management costs by 35%. **Content:** Most employees wouldn’t describe their IT department as “awesome.” But Facebook CIO [Tim Campos](https://www.mission.org/it-visionaries/tim-campos-from-facebook-cio-to-start-up-co-founder-part-1) is hoping a series of custom-made Facebook vending machine that dispense computer accessories instead of snacks and sodas will help change that perception. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Facebook-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=400%2C533&ssl=1 "Facebook Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")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. > > Tim Campos (Facebook CIO) --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Business Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/business-card-vending-machine/) > [Newspaper Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/newspaper-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Medicine Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/medicine-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Two Sussex supermarkets are trialling Medicine vending machines, allowing patients to collect prescriptions securely and conveniently without pharmacist interaction. **Content:** Two Sussex supermarkets have begun a year-long trial of Medicine vending machine to dispense prescriptions. [The Medicine Vending machine](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-10850444), 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. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) > [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) > [Exploring Media Art: The Emotion Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/emotion-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Alcohol Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/alcohol-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Legislation may soon allow alcohol vending machines in licensed establishments, streamlining beer purchases and monitoring consumption for patrons over 21. **Content:** Buying a beer could be as easy as pressing a button of alcohol vending machines after this legislative session. [Rep. Richard Raymond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Raymond_(Texas_politician)) (D-Laredo) is working to legalize the sale of alcohol in vending machines at certain establishments licensed for the on-premise consumption of alcohol. Vice chair [Roland Gutierrez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Gutierrez_(politician)) (D-San Antonio) laid out the bill at a hearing for the bill Monday. Customers would present their IDs to the establishment’s staff and receive a wristband to verify that the consumer is over 21 years old, Gutierrez said. ‘The customer must present an employee of the establishment with a valid ID, which is scanned into a database and tied to a customer’s credit card,” Gutierrez said. “The customer is then given a uniquely encoded wristband to access the machine.’ The bands would track the amount of alcohol consumed by a bar patron and limit alcohol intake. Vending machine users would be cut off after 30 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of wine or three ounces of liquor, Gutierrez said. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Alocohol-Vending-Machine.png?resize=650%2C502&ssl=1 "Alocohol Vending Machines - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The standard drink is 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine and about one-and-a-half ounces of liquor. ‘The automated dispensing machine system benefits businesses by reducing overhead and staff costs, allowing for easier management of inventory, strictly controlling customers’ consumption and guarding against underage drinking,’ Gutierrez said. According to advertising junior Kara Endahl, vending machines could be more convenient at a crowded bar. ‘I think it would save a lot of time because the lines at bars get so long, especially if there’s a big game going on,’ Endahl said. ‘I know last time we were waiting for, like, 30 minutes for a beer.’ --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Onitsuka Tiger’s Innovative Trainer Vending Machine Launch](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/onitsuka-tiger-trainers-vending-machine/) > [Anger Release Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machines/) > [Revolutionary Kiosk Dispenses Sony Electronics Like Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sony-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [伏特加自動販賣機：文化與法律的碰撞](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/伏特加自動販賣機/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在烏克蘭梅利托波爾，一台原本出售咖啡的自動販賣機現在轉而販賣伏特加和果汁，這引起了當地權威的注意，可能違反了酒精飲料的非法交易法。根據報導，烏克蘭的非法酒精交易問題相當嚴重，2012年的數據顯示當年35%的伏特加交易屬於非法。伏特加作為經典的酒精飲品，其歷史源遠流長，且在不同國家以不同形式消費。 **Content:** 在烏克蘭 梅利托波爾的自動販賣機本來賣的應該是咖啡，現在居然賣伏特加和其他類型的果汁。也許我們大部分都會將這件事視為一個玩笑，然而烏克蘭的權威們卻不這麼認為，他們覺得在 伏特加自動販賣機 背後的人也許已經觸犯了酒精飲料的非法交易條例。 烏克蘭當地傳媒 [Interfax-Ukraine](https://en.interfax.com.ua/) 指出，烏克蘭的非法酒精飲料交易問題非常嚴重。根據一項2012年的統計，烏克蘭該年所出售的伏特加總數中就有35%的交易是屬於非法的。 ### **伏特加的歷史** **伏特加** 是一種經蒸餾處理的酒精飲料。它是由水和經蒸餾淨化的乙醇所合成的透明液體，通常會經多重蒸餾從而達到更純更美味的效果，市面上品質較好的伏特加一般是經過三重蒸餾的。在蒸餾過程中除水和乙醇外亦會加入馬鈴薯、糖漿及黑麥或小麥，如果是製作有味道的伏特加更會加入適量的調味料。 伏特加酒的酒精含量通常由35%到50%不等，傳統由俄羅斯，立陶宛和波蘭所出產的伏特加酒精含量是以40%為標準。雖然伏特加在東歐和北歐國家（「伏特加帶」）的傳統上是應該以淨飲的方法品嘗，但當它在其他的國家大眾化後已經愈見少人用傳統飲法品嘗它的獨特口味。近年更多人喜歡將伏特加加上其他飲料或以雞尾酒來飲用它，例如血腥瑪莉、螺絲起子、伏特加湯力、伏特加馬天尼及紅牛伏特加等等。 第二次世界大戰伏特加對蘇聯紅軍勝利貢獻巨大，因為蘇聯當時貨幣疲弱且遭納粹大軍侵略，紅軍軍餉部份經蒐集紅軍水壺，每週運酒車至營部發放伏特加給士兵帶上戰場。伏特加防寒且可初步消毒傷口，只要加酒車運抵紅軍營部，蘇軍都把隨身水壺空壺交出添滿伏特加，帶著伏特加上戰場。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [打印文件沒有墨水?! 打印機墨盒自動販賣機!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%89%93%e5%8d%b0%e6%a9%9f%e5%a2%a8%e7%9b%92%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [空氣香味自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%a9%ba%e6%b0%a3%e9%a6%99%e5%91%b3%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [完成指令獲免費小吃! 免費零食自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%85%8d%e8%b2%bb%e9%9b%b6%e9%a3%9f%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Vodka Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vodka-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In 2013, a Ukrainian vending machine dispensed vodka shots, becoming a brief symbol of the underground alcohol market before authorities intervened. **Content:** In 2013, a cheeky entrepreneur in the Ukrainian city of [Melitopol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melitopol) jerry-rigged a standard coffee vending machine into an illicit vodka shot dispenser right in the bustling town center—turning morning caffeine cravings into impromptu happy hours. Dubbed the “wonder machine” by locals, it became a short-lived symbol of Ukraine’s underground booze economy before tax authorities shut it down. Here’s the spirited story: ### **What It was** - **The Hack**: The machine, originally designed for hot coffee, was modified to pour 50ml shots of vodka (neat, as per Eastern European tradition) for about 8 hryvnia (~$1 USD at the time). For an extra coin, it dispensed fruit juice mixers like orange or apple to whip up quick cocktails—think a DIY screwdriver straight from the spout. - **Payment and Access**: It accepted coins and banknotes, operating 24/7 like any street vendor, but with a boozy twist. No ID checks, no fuss—just insert money and select your poison. - **Purpose (or Lack Thereof)**: Likely a black-market side hustle amid Ukraine’s rampant illegal alcohol trade, where experts estimated 35% of vodka sales in 2012 were unregulated. It catered to pedestrians, workers, and the curious, offering a “pick-me-up” far stronger than espresso. ### **When and Where** - **Timeline**: Surfaced in early September 2013, drawing crowds immediately. By mid-month, state TV (UT1) exposed it, prompting a swift investigation. Tax inspectors seized the machine and hunted its anonymous owners, but no arrests were publicly reported—classic cat-and-mouse in Melitopol’s gray economy. - **Location**: Plunked down in the heart of Melitopol, a mid-sized city in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast (southeastern Ukraine, near the Sea of Azov). Think central square or pedestrian zone—prime real estate for impulse buys, far from any bar’s prying eyes. ### **Impact and Aftermath** This DIY dispenser went viral in global media for its audacious ingenuity, blending Soviet-era resourcefulness with modern vending woes --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Alcohol Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/alcohol-vending-machine/) > [Do nothing for Beer Vending Machine!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Buzzwords Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/buzzwords-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** An unconventional vending machine at Plymouth College dispenses crisps triggered by recession-related news, reflecting future food access concerns. **Content:** A rundown but functional old Buzzwords vending machine stands alone in the Viewpoint Gallery at [Plymouth College of Art](https://www.aup.ac.uk/).

Smokers will need to place Taspo on a card reader on the front of the Cigarette vending machine, which will access information stored in the card and verify that the purchaser is at least 20 years old — the legal smoking age. The card also has a prepaid electronic money function, allowing people to deposit up to ¥20,000 for cigarette purchases. When used as a debit card, age verification and payment will take place simultaneously. ### **Why is Taspo being introduced?** The institute’s Web site says, > Taspo is the ultimate way of rigorously conducting age verification checks and is expected to be a highly effective way of preventing underage smoking. The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry has conducted studies showing that 70 percent to 80 percent of underage smokers get their cigarettes from vending machines. By introducing taspo, the institute hopes to cut this phenomenon off. ### **Are there loopholes in the new system?** Yes. A taspo card is not required when purchasing cigarettes at a shop. Even though employees are supposed to check the age of purchasers who they suspect are minors, this doesn’t always prevent underage smoking. Also, a minor could sneak their parent’s card or borrow one from any legitimate card holder to use in a cigarette machine. > We can never prevent adults from purchasing alcohol and tobacco for children, we hope cardholders behave like responsible adults. > > Hitomichi Tanaka, Institute spokesman ### **Note on 2026 Changes:** Taspo service is set to end in 2026, with machines upgrading to scan driver’s licenses or My Number cards directly. This won’t affect current use. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pasta Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pasta-vending-machine/) > [Emergency Contraception in Vending Machines: A New Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-emergency-contraception/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [DVD Rentals Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dvd-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Redbox DVD rental machines in McDonald's restaurants offer new convenience for customers amidst declining traditional rental stores. **Content:** The big red vending machine at the McDonald’s whirrs and hums and spits out rental DVDs of Chicken Little and King Kong. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Redbox-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=400%2C267&ssl=1 "DVD Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Machines run by McDonald’s Corp. subsidiary [Redbox Automated Retail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbox) have popped up in hundreds of Golden Arches restaurants in six cities in an experiment to see whether they drive more customers into the stores. Rental chain Movie Gallery is experimenting with DVD rental machines, too, saying the machines will make rental transactions easier for customers and make its stores more efficient. The spread of DVD rental machines comes as rental stores are struggling under a business model that hasn’t changed much from the mom-and-pop video stores of 20 years ago. The rental business has suffered from the sale of inexpensive DVDs, rent-by-mail services, such as Netflix Inc., and expanding video-on-demand from cable companies. “We think it’s a tremendous opportunity,” said Greg Waring, Redbox’s vice president of marketing. “We think we’re providing a new model for the industry that is going to be difficult for the traditional retailers to compete against.” About the size of a soda machine, each “Redbox” holds 500 disks and includes a touch screen so customers can pick a movie, and a credit card reader for paying the $1-per-night fee. Customers return the movies at the machine. Signs near the machines promote its movies. Redbox staffers load newly released DVDs each Tuesday. Redbox workers at the headquarters in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., can monitor which titles are renting the most in each machine and adjust their selection accordingly. Generally there are 50 to 60 individual titles. Chris Kliner and his daughters Olivia, 5, and Annaliese, 4, select a rental DVD from a Redbox before eating at McDonald’s in Apple Valley, Minn. The Kliners, who were visiting from Kenosha, Wis., said they appreciated the convenience of not having to sign up just to rent a single movie. This summer, the company plans to let customers go online to check title availability in a particular location and rent a movie on the spot for pickup at that machine later. In Apple Valley, a suburb of the Twin Cities, Chris and Teresa Kliner stopped at a McDonald’s for both a meal and a copy of “Chicken Little” for their daughters to watch during a visit with relatives in the Twin Cities. “With kids, it’s easier this way, because they’re not running all over the store,” Teresa Kliner said while daughters Olivia and Annaliese played on the slides at the restaurant’s indoor playground. Jeff Smith, a McDonald’s franchisee who owns seven restaurants and runs a cooperative that buys advertising for Twin Cities McDonald’s, said he doesn’t know whether the DVD machines are bringing in more customers because there are so many other variables, like the weather and promotions, affect whether people eat out. But he says his customers love the machines. “The only thing I invest is my space,” Smith said. “We don’t get paid anything, and it doesn’t cost us anything to have it.” --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-vending-machine/) > [Ice Cream Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ice-cream-vending-machine/) > [Printer Ink Cartridge Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/printer-ink-cartridge-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Music Download Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/music-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The U.K. will introduce music downloads via vending machines, enabling songs to be purchased alongside snacks and drinks. **Content:** The U.K. will shortly see the introduction of music downloads away from the PC. Inspired Broadcast Networks and [Entertainment UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_UK) have teamed up to get songs added to a range of different public vending machines. This will mean that soon in addition to having buttons for a chocolate bar or soft drink, there may also be a music download button or even a separate dedicated kiosk. Pubs, bars, and clubs are also on the list where you can usually find a jukebox of some form (which could be networked for music downloading), and there are plans to allow downloads directly to a mobile phone as well. The vending machine plans are made possible with the help of BT’s DSL broadband network, meaning the machines can be networked to a central repository and updated when required. Initially music will be downloaded using a memory card, but the ultimate aim is to make the whole process wireless using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Trials are being conducted now, with early interest being shown by Coca-Cola. With the music vending machine market set to boom over the next three years, Inspired is investing £50 million to get this arm of its business off the ground. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Music-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=415%2C458&ssl=1 "Music Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pasta Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pasta-vending-machine/) > [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) > [Screaming Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/screaming-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Luxury Car Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) **Published:** May 16, 2017 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Singapore's 15-storey luxury car vending machine features supercars, utilising advanced retrieval systems for quick customer service and efficient space use. **Content:** A futuristic 15-story showroom in Singapore dubbed the “world’s largest luxury car vending machine” has opened and offering customers million-dollar supercars, including Ferraris, Bentleys, Lamborghinis and Porsches.

Wade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade). While emergency contraception — which can be used after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy — is available without a prescription, it’s often locked up or must be specifically requested at a pharmacy counter. Some pharmacies don’t have the medication in stock, and finding a pharmacy that does can require driving miles away — another barrier for students without cars. While students have led most efforts, they’re now finding additional support from public officials. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/emergency-contraception-vending-machine.webp?resize=2560%2C1920&ssl=1 "emergency-contraception-vending-machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")### **About Plan B:** Plan B contains a high dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. This ingredient works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation, thereby reducing the chances of fertilization. It’s important to note that Plan B is effective only before pregnancy is established and does not terminate an existing pregnancy. One lesser-known fact is that the effectiveness of Plan B in preventing pregnancy diminishes with time after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days), but it can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) afterward, though with decreased efficacy beyond the initial 72-hour window. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Narcan Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/narcan-vending-machine/) > [First Aid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/first-aid-vending-machine/) > [Luxury car vending machine sells Ferraris](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Crane Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/crane-vending-machines/) **Published:** March 17, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Crane Vending Machines, now Crane Convenience, offers reliable, innovative automated retail solutions, rich in history and renowned for performance. **Content:** **Crane Vending Machines** is high-quality, commercial-grade automated retail equipment manufactured by what is now known as **[Crane Convenience](https://www.craneconvenience.com/)**. It is among the most recognized and reliable brands in the global vending industry, particularly for snacks, cold beverages, fresh food, and combo machines. ### **Brief History** The roots trace back to **1926**, when B. E. Fry founded the National Sales Machine Company in St. Louis, Missouri. Fry developed more reliable coin-operated vending machines that rejected slugs and improper objects (unlike earlier gimmicky devices). This evolved into **National Vendors**. - In the 1950s–1960s, the company expanded under Universal Match Company ownership and introduced full lines of automatic merchandising equipment. - Crane Co. acquired it in **1985**, rebranding it as **Crane National Vendors** (often shortened to Crane National). - Over decades, it merged with payment technology leaders (like MEI) and became **Crane Merchandising Systems (CMS)**. - In **2020–2021**, CMS combined with Crane Payment Innovations (CPI). By **2026**, the vending business rebranded as **Crane Convenience** while retaining the iconic “Crane” legacy. Today, Crane is widely regarded as one of the world’s largest and oldest vending machine manufacturers, with machines built in the USA (e.g., Williston, South Carolina). The brand emphasizes durability, innovation, and integration with modern cashless payments, telemetry, and interactive displays. ### **Popular Model** Crane machines are known for robust construction, reliable delivery systems (such as dual spirals/coils with drop sensors to minimize jams), and flexibility for various locations like offices, factories, schools, and public spaces. Key categories include: - **[Snack and Food Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/crane-multi-purpose-machine/)** — Models like the **Crane National 147, 148, 157, 158, 167, 168, 181, and 187** (Merchant series) offer 30–48+ selections, holding hundreds of snacks, candy, pastries, or healthier options. Many feature “Sure Vend” or dual-helix systems for accurate dispensing, MDB (Multi-Drop Bus) compatibility for cashless upgrades, and optional Merchant MEDIA touchscreens for dynamic advertising and promotions. Refurbished units remain popular in the secondary market. Many modern Crane machines support cashless payments (credit cards, mobile wallets), remote monitoring via software like VendMax, energy-efficient designs, and ADA compliance. ### **Key Features and Reputation** - **Reliability** — Dual spirals, sensors, and sturdy builds reduce service calls. Operators often praise them for longevity (many machines last 10–20+ years with maintenance). - **Innovation** — Interactive MEDIA displays turn machines into “automated retail stores” with ads, nutrition info, and promotions. - **Customization** — Wide product flexibility, from traditional chips/candy to premium or healthy items. - **Support** — Extensive parts availability, refurbishment ecosystem, and global distribution (authorized dealers like Vendtek). In the used/refurbished market, Crane National models (especially 157–168 series) are highly sought after for their balance of capacity, ease of programming (prices, selections), and value. Crane machines represent a cornerstone of the vending industry, blending nearly a century of heritage with cutting-edge technology to deliver convenient, 24/7 retail. Whether you’re an operator, location owner, or enthusiast, they stand out for performance and innovation. **Categories:** Product and Solution --- ### [Fuji Electric](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/fuji-electric/) **Published:** March 17, 2026 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Fuji Electric dominates Japan's vending machine industry, focusing on energy-efficient, innovative machines and expanding globally, particularly in Asia. **Content:** Fuji Electric Japan Vending Machine Business is a core part of [Fuji Electric Co.](https://www.fujielectric.co.jp/index.html), Ltd.’s Food and Beverage Distribution segment.

Instead it provides people 24/7 access to the anti-overdose medication Narcan with ‘no questions asked.” Free boxes of of the medication that reverses opioid overdoses are dispensed from the machine, marking the latest effort to make it more accessible to the public as the number of overdoses continues to climb locally and across the nation. > We are very excited to have the Narcan vending machine implemented and to have this medication available to everyone at any time. We have been trying to keep up with demand through personal and online trainings, but we felt that the distribution was suffering because the kits were limited to being handed out person-to-person. > > Dawn Smith, executive director of the nonprofit Substance Abuse Council “Now we feel we have a better solution to get Narcan in the hands of the people who can immediately assist someone in need and remove the barrier of accessibility,” she added. Each box contains two doses of the medication with instructions for how to administer it, as well as gloves, a rescue mask and resource information for treatment. “There (are) other locations where you can get Narcan kits, but to have it where you can just go and get it with no questions asked, no forms to fill out, no information needed (is great),” Smith said. “You can just get it for whatever reason you need it, whether it’s for a loved one or a friend, whatever it may be … To remove all those barriers so you can access this medication, we’re really proud of that.” ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Narcan-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=642%2C510&ssl=1 "Narcan-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Narcan Vending Machine credit Forsyth County Sheriffs Office --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Reese’s Halloween Candy Converter: A Sweet PR Success](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/reeses-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Salvation Army Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salvation-army-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Naloxone Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/naloxone-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 10, 2022 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** San Diego County launched a Naloxone Distribution Programme to combat opioid overdoses, providing free vending machines for easy access. **Content:** As part of its aggressive fight against the opioid crisis—where accidental overdoses claimed nearly 900 lives in 2021 alone (a 55% spike from 2020)—the County of San Diego launched a [Naloxone Distribution Program](https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/bhs/BHS_Harm_Reduction/About_Naloxone.html) in 2022. Naloxone (brand name Narcan) is a fast-acting nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses by restoring breathing, buying critical time for emergency help. The program’s crown jewel, **Free vending machines** stocked with naloxone kits and fentanyl test strips, open to anyone 18+ (no ID required). These aren’t pay-to-play; they’re harm reduction lifesavers, aligning with the county’s Comprehensive Harm Reduction Strategy. The initiative aimed to distribute 33,000 kits by mid-2023 (goal smashed with 33,160+ delivered), and vending machines were a key tool for stigma-free access. Pioneered by the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Harm Reduction Team, these machines even include on-screen training videos to guide users step-by-step. The county rolled out 12 machines initially, with upgrades bringing the total to 16 across diverse spots like detention facilities, clinics, and recovery centers. No expansions planned, but they’re heavily used—preliminary data shows steady demand. These machines have normalized naloxone access, reducing barriers in a county where fentanyl-laced drugs drive 80%+ of overdoses. > Naloxone is a proven life saver in overdose situations and San Diego County Behavioral Health Services and its partners are working hard to expand access. The enhanced distribution of naloxone into the hands of community members is vital in saving lives that might otherwise be lost to overdose. > > Nicole Esposito, San Diego’s chief population health officer. ### ****Further notes: Strategic Locations**** Naloxone and equivalent machines are often placed in “high-risk” or high-traffic areas where overdoses are more likely to occur or where vulnerable populations gather: **Rural Areas:** To bridge the gap in regions where pharmacies are scarce or far away. **Public Health Hubs:** Outside hospitals, community health centers, and syringe exchange programs. **High-Risk Zones:** Near shelters, parks, libraries, and transit stations. **Nightlife Districts:** In areas with bars and clubs to address accidental overdoses from mixed substances. ### ****Benefits & Impacts**** - **Immediate Access:** Time is critical during an overdose. These machines ensure that bystanders can get help instantly without waiting for a pharmacist or doctor. - **Anonymity & Reduced Stigma:** Many people hesitate to ask for Naloxone at a counter due to fear of judgment. Vending machines offer a private, non-judgmental way to obtain the medication. - **Cost-Effectiveness:** They are significantly cheaper than staffing a 24-hour clinic and prevent costly emergency room visits and fatalities. - **Community Empowerment:** They put the power to save lives directly into the hands of friends, family, and strangers who might witness an overdose. ### ****Global Adoption**** - **United States:** Widespread adoption in states like Massachusetts, New York, California, and Ohio. Many are funded by state health departments or non-profits. - **Canada:** Cities like Vancouver and Toronto have deployed them extensively as part of their public health response to the opioid epidemic. - **Europe:** Growing presence in countries like Germany, France, and the UK, often managed by local NGOs. - **Australia:** Piloted in various states to support harm reduction initiatives. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Naloxone-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=697%2C919&ssl=1 "Naloxone-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) > [M&M’s Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mms-vending-machine/) > [Promoting Literacy with a Kindness Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-dispenses-books-to-share-kindness/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Whale Meat Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) **Published:** May 15, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In 2023, Japan launched "Kujira Store" vending machines to revive whale meat sales amid declining demand and conservation concerns. **Content:** Launched in early 2023 by [Kyodo Senpaku Co.](https://www.kyodo-senpaku.co.jp/), a major Japanese whaling company, these unmanned “Kujira Store” outlets aim to boost declining demand for whale meat—a traditional food that’s fallen out of favor amid global conservation concerns and shifting diets. The machines are decorated with cartoon whales and blend into Japan’s ubiquitous vending culture, which includes everything from hot meals to umbrellas. As of late 2025, they remain operational, with social media posts showing continued public interest and visits. **Launch and Expansion Plans** - **Debut**: The first machine opened on January 24, 2023, in Yokohama’s Motomachi shopping district. Two more followed shortly in Tokyo’s capital region. - **Growth**: A fourth was planned for Osaka in February 2023. The company targeted 100 machines nationwide within five years (by 2028), focusing on urban areas to make whale products more accessible without relying on supermarkets, which often avoid stocking them due to pressure from anti-whaling activists. - **Rationale**: Though the government maintains that eating whale is a cherished part of Japan’s culture, whale meat consumption peaked at 233,000 tonnes in 1962 but dropped to just 1,000 tonnes by 2021, overshadowed by cheaper proteins like chicken and beef. Japan resumed commercial whaling in 2019 after leaving the International Whaling Commission, sourcing meat from domestically caught whales. > “There are so many major supermarkets that are afraid of being harassed by anti-whaling groups so they won’t use whale. So there are many people who want to eat whale but can’t,” > > Therefore, we are opening stores with the thought that we can provide a place where those people can eat. > > Tokoro, the firm owner said at the launch. **Products Available** These machines dispense frozen and processed items, priced affordably to encourage trial. All products are from Japanese-caught whales, emphasizing sustainability within the company’s operations. Whale meat advocates point to its high protein content and low carbon footprint compared with other meats.

Osaka’s outlet is confirmed operational. No widespread expansion reports beyond the initial rollout, but machines are still active—recent visitor photos from April and September 2025 show them in use. - **Public Reaction**: Mixed. Japanese users share novelty videos and visits, with one virtual simulator even featuring whale meat options. Internationally, it’s sparked debate; Korean netizens in 2024 called it “barbaric” while highlighting their own whale meat shops (though Korea bans whaling). Conservation groups like Whale & Dolphin Conservation criticize it as “automated cruelty,” estimating 3,000 tonnes of whale products sold annually via these outlets. - **Sales Impact**: Early reports suggest modest uptake, appealing to tourists and older generations nostalgic for the food. A 2024 Reddit thread noted surprise at seeing one in Tokyo, and 2025 X posts describe it as a “must-see” oddity. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Bear Meat Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bear-meat-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionary Frozen Sushi Vending Machines in Japan](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) > [Squid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/squid-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Crepes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/crepes-vending-machine/) **Published:** January 14, 2022 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A vending machine selling handmade crepes in Nara Prefecture gained popularity through social media, attracting tourists and boosting local interest. **Content:** SAKURAI, Nara — A vending machine that sells handmade crepes in west Japan’s Nara Prefecture has created a social media buzz, prompted by popular YouTubers introducing it in their videos.

The initiative was introduced to **discourage visitors from feeding ducks bread**, which is harmful to their health and pollutes the waterway. Bury councilor Alan Quinn said the council was “delighted” to support the scheme, adding: “Don’t let it be said that we duck the big decisions.” “Everyone likes to feed the ducks and this initiative will help ensure that the birds are getting a healthy diet,” he said. A sign on the machine states: “Bread makes ducks ill and does not contain the right nutrition or calories that they need to grow or keep warm. Rotting bread pollutes the water and cause nasty surface algae, which kills wildlife and gives ducks diseases.” **Why It Matters:** - **Bread is bad for ducks**: It lacks nutrition, can cause deformities (like “angel wing”), and contributes to algal blooms when it rots in water. - **Eco-friendly alternative**: The machine offers a mix of **wild bird seed, oats, and peas**—ingredients that are safe and nutritious for waterfowl. - **Educational impact**: Signage around the machine explains why bread should be avoided and promotes responsible wildlife interaction, especially for families and children. **A Growing Trend** Burrs Country Park’s duck food vending machine is part of a wider movement across the UK. Similar machines can be found in places like **Maidstone (Kent)**, **Harrow (London)**, and **Bristol**, often supported by local councils, wildlife trusts, or campaigns like **“Ban Bread”** by the **Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT)**. ### **Visit Info:** - **Location**: Burrs Country Park, Bury, Greater Manchester (near the outdoor activity centre and riverside walk). - **Park features**: Historic mill ruins, walking trails, picnic areas, and a popular spot for birdwatching. - **Duck species**: Mallards, moorhens, coots, and occasionally herons can be seen along the Irwell.

Nelson stocks the machine with fresh selections every night. “You don’t know how many times we sped down here to try to make it before the store closed,” frequent Sprinkles customer Karson Langenfelder said. “I think it is a great idea,” added customer Patrick Swope. “You can never have too much access to your cupcakes.” ### **Final Word: High Margin, Low Labor Expansion** For Candace Nelson and the business, it was a scalable growth strategy. - **Real Estate Efficiency:** An ATM took up about 6 square feet compared to a 2,000 sq ft store, which allowed Sprinkles to expand into high-traffic areas (malls, outside existing stores, busy downtown corners) where renting a full storefront was impossible or too expensive. - **Labor Optimization:** It extended sales hours from ~12 hours to 24 hours without paying overnight shift wages, benefits, or security guards. ### **Viral Marketing & Social Currency** Launched right as Instagram and social media food culture were exploding, the Cupcake ATM was inherently “shareable.” - **Free Advertising:** People didn’t just buy cupcakes; they filmed themselves buying them and posted it online. The machine itself became a tourist attraction (especially in places like Disney Springs or Beverly Hills), driving foot traffic even from people who didn’t buy anything. ### **Brand Differentiation** In a market quickly becoming saturated with cupcake shops (the “cupcake bubble” of the early 2010s), Sprinkles needed a moat. - **The Moat:** While competitors were just opening more stores, Sprinkles patented the technology and branded themselves as the **innovator**. It positioned them not just as a bakery, but as a tech-forward lifestyle brand. ### **Other Similar Ideas: [Japanese Pancake Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dorayaki-pancake-vending-machine/)** --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Peak Shift Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/peak-shift-vending-machine/) > [Mindful Marketing: The Do Nothing Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [How a Yawn-Activated Coffee Machine Went Viral](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Vending Machine Save Energy](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cooling-power-free-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coca-Cola Japan and Fuji Electric have developed an energy-saving vending machine that cools products at night, reducing power consumption. **Content:** [Coca-Cola (Japan)](https://www.coca-cola.com/jp/ja), together with [Fuji Electric Retail Systems](https://www.fujielectric.com/index.html) have succeeded in developing the “A011”peak-shift vending machine. This vending machine, developed as part of the Apollo ultra-energy-saving vending machine project, can operate without using power for cooling up to 16 hours per day. **Key Concept** The successfully developed peak-shift vending machine shifts use of power for cooling from the usual peak mid-day to night time, when there is a relative surplus power capacity. In conventional vending machine, temperature would rise slowly if cooling was stopped for long period of time since only a portion stored were cooled in response to sales to limit electricity consumed. However, in peak-shift vending machine, all products stored are cooled during night time when relatively more power available. In addition, by using more vacuum insulation materials, insulation has improved and the machine less affected by outside temperature. In preparation for full-fledged market launch, the peak-shift vending machine will be field tested until the end of August in Kumagaya City and Tajimi City, the hottest regions in Japan. After verifying the new model’s performance, Coca-Cola said it will work to maximize their peak-shift functionality, extending the amount of time they can go without using power for cooling during time slots when power is generally in short supply. **Great East Japan Earthquake** Since 2011, Coca-Cola Japan has been implementing specific round-robin cooling suspension measures in its vending machines in all areas except Okinawa, cutting power usage by 15%. All newly purchased vending machines have been HFC-free since 2011, and LED lighting is being used since 2012. **Latest Development : **[Hydrogen-Powered Peak Shift Technology](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hydrogen-powered-vending-machine/)**** In a major update unveiled at the **Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025**, Fuji Electric and Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan introduced the world’s first vending machine powered by **replaceable hydrogen cartridges** This model represents the next evolution of peak shift technology, allowing the machine to operate off-grid or reduce grid reliance by using hydrogen to power cooling and dispensing functions, thereby shifting energy consumption away from peak electrical demand times ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Cooling-power-free-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=667%2C1000&ssl=1 "Cooling power-free Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Container recycling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/container-recycling-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Nature Exchange Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/nature-exchange-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [IKEA's Light Recycling Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/light-bulb-recycling-reverse-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** IKEA has initiated light recycling in most EU stores, collaborating with partners to enhance e-waste management and sustainability. **Content:** Since 2020, [IKEA ](https://www.ikea.com/be/en/)has rolled out **“Light Recycling Points”** in >80% of its EU stores. Partnered with **[Recipo](https://recipo.com/)** and **LightRec** (European lighting recycling consortia). In **Malmö, Sweden**, IKEA tested a **smart kiosk** that displayed real-time CO₂ savings from bulb recycling on a screen. All collected bulbs are sent to certified recyclers like **Boliden** (for metal recovery) or **Veolia**. ### ? ****Why This Matters**** - **CFLs contain 3–5 mg of mercury**—recycling prevents soil/water contamination. - **LEDs contain rare earth metals** (e.g., gallium, indium)—recycling reduces mining demand. - The EU aims to **recycle 85% of e-waste by 2025**—retail take-back is critical. By embedding recycling into the shopping journey, IKEA turn a regulatory obligation into a **visible sustainability statement**—making it as easy to return a bulb as it is to buy one. ### ****The Future: Toward Full Automation?**** Pilot projects are exploring: - **Barcode scanning** of bulb packaging to auto-sort - **In-store credit** (e.g., €0.30 off next LED pack) - **Integration with circular economy apps** (e.g., scan bulb, get recycling proof for ESG reporting) For now, the **semi-automated kiosk** remains the practical, safe, and scalable solution—proving that even small acts of recycling can be engineered with care, one light bulb at a time. ?♻️ ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IKEA-Recycling-Machine.PNG?resize=792%2C525&ssl=1 "IKEA Recycling Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")IKEA Recycling Machine --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Business Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/business-card-vending-machine/) > [Disaster Relief Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/disaster-relief-vending-machine/) > [Safer sex Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safer-sex-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Art-O-Mat Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmos-art-o-mat-machines/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Cosmopolitan collaborates with Art-O-Mat to sell $5 art from revamped vending machines, promoting artists globally and enhancing art accessibility. **Content:** Among the more interesting relationships Cosmopolitan formed in its quest to be outlandishly unique is the one with Art-O-Mat, a Winston-Salem company that revamps cigarette machines into slick dispensers of $5 art.

Visit the university’s public relations/alumni office (on the same floor). 2. Record a short video message (e.g., goals, suggestions, thanks, or requests to the president). 3. Receive a special “President’s Coin” (学長コイン) in exchange. 4. Insert the coin into the vending machine like regular money to dispense a drink. - Videos are shared with the president, who may respond or use them to foster better campus connections. - The machine also functions as a normal paid vending machine. **Background and Purpose** This initiative adapts Suntory Beverage Solutions’ corporate “**Boss’s Treat Vending Machine**” (社長のおごり自販機), where pairs of employees scan ID cards for free drinks to encourage casual chats. Kochi University customized it for broader interaction, including direct outreach to the president. It’s the first such installation at a Japanese university. President Ukeda emphasized creating a “smiling, open campus” and plans to visit the machine occasionally to chat with users. He jokingly noted costs would be “negotiated with the family finance minister” (his wife). The idea gained media attention, with reports from outlets like Yomiuri Shimbun, Nikkei, and local TV highlighting its innovative approach to campus well-being. **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [POKÉMON VENDING MACHINE](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pokemon-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The video discusses valuable Pokémon cards, highlighting the Pikachu Illustrator, Holo Charizard, and Southern Islands Trophy cards as highly sought items. **Content:** Youtuber: [UnlistedLeaf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBFvKP1bVeA)The world of Pokémon card collecting has expanded beyond local game stores into the global mainstream, and one of the most exciting developments is the rise of dedicated vending machines. What began as a convenient way to buy cards in Japan has evolved into an international phenomenon, offering fans everywhere a unique and accessible way to catch ’em all. ### ? The Global Spread: From Japan to the World The story of Pokémon card vending machines begins in Japan, where they were first developed to make cards and merchandise easily accessible in everyday locations like train stations and airports [](https://snkrdunk.com/en/magazine/2025/06/20/everything-to-know-about-pokemon-tcg-vending-machines/?slide=right). The concept proved so successful that it has now spread across the globe, bringing the unique thrill of a vending machine purchase to international fans. ### ✨ Why Are They So Popular? The appeal of these machines goes beyond simple convenience. They tap into several key aspects of collector psychology and modern retail. - **The Thrill of the Hunt (Blind Boxes):** Many machines sell booster packs, which are the ultimate “blind box.” The unpredictability of not knowing which cards are inside triggers excitement and encourages repeat purchases, as collectors try to chase rare or coveted cards [](https://insights.made-in-china.com/The-Rise-of-Pok-mon-Vending-Machines-Why-They-re-Captivating-Fans-Worldwide_jTgAfmiHmnlD.html). - **Unmatched Convenience:** Located in high-traffic areas and often available 24/7, these machines fit seamlessly into busy lives. Commuters in Japan can grab a pack on their way home from work, and travelers in U.S. airports can pick up a gift or a treat for themselves before a flight [](https://insights.made-in-china.com/The-Rise-of-Pok-mon-Vending-Machines-Why-They-re-Captivating-Fans-Worldwide_jTgAfmiHmnlD.html)[](https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/topics/detail/134.html). - **Guaranteed Authenticity:** Official machines stocked by The Pokémon Company ensure that every pack is authentic, eliminating the fear of counterfeit products that can plague online marketplaces [](https://snkrdunk.com/en/magazine/2025/06/20/everything-to-know-about-pokemon-tcg-vending-machines/?slide=right). This is a massive draw for collectors. - **Nostalgia and Fun:** For many adults, buying a pack from a machine is a nostalgic experience, reminiscent of buying candy or toys as a kid. The machines themselves are often designed with vibrant Pokémon imagery, turning a simple transaction into a memorable moment [](https://insights.made-in-china.com/The-Rise-of-Pok-mon-Vending-Machines-Why-They-re-Captivating-Fans-Worldwide_jTgAfmiHmnlD.html)[](https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/topics/detail/134.html). ### ? The Impact and a Modern Challenge The popularity of these machines has been immense. For example, a single machine in Caen, France, sold over 3,000 items in just its first two weeks of operation [](https://radioaustralianews.net.au/this-french-pokemon-card-distributor-is-making-waves-in-the-collectors-scene/). This success, however, has attracted the attention of resellers. In the U.S., the machines became hotspots for scalpers who would buy out entire inventories to resell online for a profit. In response, The Pokémon Company International had to implement a software update in March 2025 to introduce purchase limits and more random restocking schedules, ensuring more fans get a fair chance to buy products at retail price [](https://licensinginternational.org/news/vending-machines-cash-in-with-licensing/).#1c689bIn the U.S., the machines became hotspots for scalpers who would buy out entire inventories to resell online for a profit.

The trend of Pokémon card vending machines shows no signs of slowing down. With their unique blend of accessibility, excitement, and authenticity, they are transforming how collectors around the world engage with the hobby. ### **Most expensive Pokémon Cards:** 1. **[Pikachu Illustrator Card](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp32jgkqx0lo)**: This is one of the rarest Pokémon cards ever made. It was awarded as a prize in a Japanese CoroCoro Comic contest in 1998, with only a handful believed to be in existence. Its rarity makes it highly sought after by collectors. 2. **Base Set 1st Edition Holo Charizard**: The original holographic Charizard card from the first Pokémon set released in the West (Base Set) has become iconic. The “Shadowless” version, in particular, due to its limited print run and unique characteristics, commands a very high price. 3. **Southern Islands Tropical Mega Battle Trophy Cards**: These trophy cards were given to participants of special events.

Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Macau, China | Travel Video | Travel Guide | SKY Travel**聖保羅大教堂遺跡** 去澳門旅遊要是沒拜訪過聖保羅大教堂遺跡的話，那樣跟本就不叫去過澳門，因為它是澳門最人氣的旅遊景點之一。 聖保羅大教堂建於17世紀，後來到了1835年，因為一場大火而嚴重損壞，僅保留現在我們所看到的教堂和聖保羅書院的表面。 ********議事亭前地******** 議事亭前地已經坐落在澳門市中心數個世紀的時間了，即使這樣，這裡還是一個舉辦慶典的熱門地點。議事亭前地的波浪紋石塊是由葡萄牙人鋪造的。 **************威尼斯人度假村************** 威尼斯人度假村擁有世界上最大的賭場，也是亞洲最具娛樂性的場所，在亞洲的其他地方你是沒辦法找到像那樣設施豐富的娛樂場所。 擁有超過3000間房間的酒店，每一間房間都擁有獨立的70平方米大型意大利大理石浴缸，完全是將奢侈豪華提升到另一個層次。 到了 度假村 還可以體驗在350間國際商店購物，期間還可以觀賞街頭藝人的表演，或者試乘威尼斯風味的貢多拉小船。 **************媽閣廟************** 澳門這個地方的命名據說就是由“媽閣” 而來。至於寺廟的建設，據說是為了供奉16世紀的一名叫“媽祖” 的海神，當時的人們相信她能為航海中的人們帶來平安，並能預測風平浪靜適合航海的日子。 關於媽祖的傳說，當時有一名叫“媽祖” 的窮女孩在尋找前往廣東的路，途中曾被一名富商拒絕協助，後來有一名窮漁夫答應讓她上船渡海。媽祖上船後，不一會風起浪湧，幾乎所有的船隻都被打翻，奇蹟的是，媽祖所乘坐的船毫無損傷。 船隻到了澳門以後，媽祖便現出女神的真身。那名承載媽祖的漁夫便在媽祖變成女神的地方建立了媽閣廟，讓後人供奉。 **************澳門漁人碼頭************** 澳門漁人碼頭總面積 111, 500平方米，是澳門第一個以文化和創意作為賣點的旅遊勝地。 澳門漁人碼頭坐落在外港口，而主要的吸引點並不是主題公園，而是依靠碼頭里的食物、購物、娛樂、住宿和各種展覽來吸引遊客的。離港澳碼頭和直升機場非常的近，只要徒步5分鐘就可以到達。 **************澳門旅遊塔************** 旅遊塔高338米，是世界上第十高的塔，在亞洲排名第八。塔里的露天觀望台可以讓遊客觀賞到澳門城市的全景，更可以看到中國珠江，在晴朗的日子裡還可以看到旁邊的香港呢！ 除此之外，塔里還有360旋轉餐廳，餐廳可以容納250位客人，每轉一圈都要花上整整一個小時。 **************觀音像************** 觀音像象徵著中國的慈悲女神。觀音像高20米，由特殊的銅製成。觀音坐著的蓮花狀基底是一間大公中心，裡面有著佛教、道教和儒教的相關資訊。 ****************澳門葡萄酒博物館與大賽車博物館**************** 兩間博物館就建在彼此的旁邊，要是去澳門旅遊的話，不妨也去看看這兩處有趣的地方。 葡萄酒博物館主要為人們透過認識葡萄酒，了解到與之相關的葡萄牙文化、社會、經濟和歷史，包括一些相關的節日慶典和習俗。參觀者只要花上些許費用就可以品嚐各種不同款式的葡萄酒。 大賽車博物館裡所展出的包括國際大型賽車項目裡留下的珍貴照片和影片，以及一些相關的雜誌報導，甚至是比賽獎杯、獲獎者名單以及各種有紀念價值的東西。 大賽車博物館是在1933年為了紀念澳門賽車40週年而建的，現在坐落在澳門高美士街的旅遊活動中心。 **************天主教老楞佐堂************** 大概是澳門最富有和典雅的教堂了，不僅是憑藉這教堂裡的裝飾來判斷，就連裡面所展示的物品都使這個地方顯得十分高貴。 天主教老楞佐堂是在16世紀建成的，當時是以木頭作為建築材料，直到19世紀才修建成現在這個模樣。 ******賽狗****** 一般都在白郎古將軍大馬路上的逸園跑狗場進行。每星期一、四、五和週末的晚上7點45分開跑，每天會有16場比賽。 公共觀望台的入場費是10澳幣。至於包廂的話，週末是120澳幣，其他時間80澳幣，每人最低消費是30澳幣。有酒吧、零食棒以及餐廳。 **************東望洋砲台************** 最初的設計理念是為了防止澳門收到海外的攻擊。而由於砲台的位置足以觀察到整個城市的情況，因此另一主要用途是觀察城市情況。 砲台旁的燈塔高91米，所發射出的光束足以在天氣好的情況下照射到20英里以外的東西。一直以來東望洋砲台都是被納入軍事範圍內，直到1976年才逐步開放給旅客參觀。 **************新濠天地************** 新濠天地是一個充滿電子娛樂設施、高級住宿和國際飲食、名牌商店的度假勝地。 The Bubble和新濠影匯都是度假村里的多媒體娛樂場所，內裡還有餐廳以及商店，這都讓新濠天地成為度假必去之處。 **************伯多祿五世劇院************** 坐落在聖奧斯定前地，是中國歷史上第一個擁有西方建築特色的劇院。該劇院作為一個重要的地標，一直以來都充當著各種重要公眾活動和慶典的地方。 劇院的設計是新古典風味的，由圓形柱子的門廊和直板合併而成。 **************白鴿巢公園************** 白鴿巢公園和洞穴是澳門最大最古老的公園。1835年，在英國撤出澳門之後，公園被一名葡萄牙商人買下，並在公園裡建築自己的住所。 這名葡萄牙的商人非常喜歡養鴿子，他的上百隻鴿子經常聚集在花園裡，無論是遠眺還是近看，鴿子與花園都形成一幅壯觀非凡的景象。 在商人死後，這個花園被捐贈給政府，政府在之後將花園開放給了民眾參觀。花園的命名是根據一個四百年前的葡萄牙詩人的名字而取的，因此英文名被叫做Luis de Camoes Garden。 對於澳門本地人而言，白鴿巢公園是一個晨運的好地方，有人還會在這裡下棋、遛鳥或者結交新朋友。 --- ### **********其他****文章************** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [香港有甚麼好玩](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a6%99%e6%b8%af%e6%9c%89%e7%94%9a%e9%ba%bc%e5%a5%bd%e7%8e%a9/) > [廉價T恤販賣機的社會實驗](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/2-%e6%ad%90%e5%85%83-t%e6%81%a4-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [打開才知道的祕境-ZICO 椰子水自動售賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%a4%b0%e5%ad%90%e6%b0%b4%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e5%94%ae%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 知識 --- ### [根據天氣 溫度調節價格的自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/溫度調節價格的自動販賣機/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 可口可樂公司在西班牙推出了一款新型自動販賣機，能根據氣溫調節飲料價格。這款販賣機專門放置於水上樂園，提供Limon和Nada兩種飲料，並根據氣溫設定三種價格：氣溫超過30度時售價1.20美元，29度時1.70美元，低於29度時則為2.40美元。這項創新的銷售方法旨在提升夏季飲料的銷量，是市場上首次嘗試的策略。 **Content:** 可口可樂公司 到目前為止仍然不斷嘗試使用新的自動販賣機技術，而這次他們把試驗地點瞄準到西班牙。在過去的兩個夏天裡，可口可樂推出一款能夠根據天氣 溫度調節價格的自動販賣機. 這種技術主要是希望能夠增加銷量。販賣機會放置在各大水上樂園裡，並跟據氣溫以三種不同的價格出售Limon和Nada這兩種飲料。當氣溫超過30度的時候，飲料會賣 US$1.20, 29度時則賣 US$1.70；而氣溫低於29度時則要價 US$2.40。 > 這部自動販賣機的設計主要就是為了讓 Limon 和 Nada 這兩種夏日解渴飲料的銷量上升，而這種銷售方法在市場上是前所未有的。 > > Carrie Brown, 可口可樂公司發言人 Lemonade Vending Machines Base Pricing on Outside Temperature --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [性安全自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%80%a7%e5%ae%89%e5%85%a8%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [男友 自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%b7%e5%8f%8b-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [$2取得隨機圖書?!

The administration asked an appeals court on Tuesday to overturn a ruling that could require the introduction of such features as Braille lettering, micro-perforations or varying the sizes of denominations to aid the blind and visually impaired. Justice Department attorneys representing Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson filed the appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, asking that a Nov. 28 decision by U.S. District Judge James Robertson be overturned. Robertson ruled that the nation’s currency as currently designed violates the Rehabilitation Act, a law that prohibits discrimination in government programs on the basis of disability. Robertson ordered Treasury to come up with ways for the blind to recognize the different denominations of paper currency, finding in favor of a lawsuit brought by the American Council for the Blind, which has waged a four-year court battle over the issue. In his ruling, Robertson had said the United States was the only nation out of 180 issuing paper currency that printed bills that were identical in size and color in all their denominations. He cited the successful use of such features as varying sizes, raised lettering and tiny perforations used by other nations as evidence such changes were feasible. But in their petition to the appeals court, government lawyers argued that varying the size of denominations could cause significant burdens on the vending machine industry and cost the Bureau of Engraving and Printing an initial investment of $178 million and $37 million to $50 million in new printing plates. “Even placing these figures in the context of the $420 million the BEP has spent annually on average in producing currency over the last 10 years, the additional costs proposed to modify the currency are not easily dismissed,” the government argued in its petition to the appeals court. The government lawyers also argued that blind people were not being denied “meaningful access” to currency transactions because there were portable readers that could identify denominations and they also could use credit cards for transactions rather than cash. Jeffrey Lovitky, an attorney for the American Council of the Blind, said he would ask the appeals court to reject the government’s arguments and allow the case to go forward with a January hearing where the government is scheduled to provide testimony to aid Robertson in deciding what remedies should be adopted. Christopher Gray, president of the council, said that while his group has been lobbying for changes to help the blind since 1995, the government has yet to conduct any feasibility studies of what those changes might cost and has instead moved ahead with a number of design changes to thwart counterfeiters. “We would be happy to wait until the next change in the bills and build accessibility at that time,” Gray said. “Surely, if you did it that way, the costs can’t be anything like what is being claimed by Treasury.” Tara Cortes, president of Lighthouse International, another advocacy group for the blind, said the government’s decision to fight making changes in the currency could end up being harmful to millions of Americans. There are 1.3 million people in the United States currently who are legally blind, but it is estimated that number will double by 2030 and millions more will have vision problems as the baby boom generation ages and more people fall victim to macular degeneration and other diseases, such as diabetes, that can affect vision. “While the government may argue that changing the dollar bill will cost billions, it will pale in comparison to the costs of the vision loss epidemic,” Cortes said. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Vegetable Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vegetable-vending-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Alcohol Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/alcohol-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Israel introduces alcohol vending machines for large events, selling Smirnoff Ice and beer, ensuring age limits are enforced. **Content:** **For the first time in Israel!

Two-thirds of Wisconsin’s high schools have milk vending machines. That’s a higher percentage than anywhere else in the country, said Laura Wilford, director of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board’s state Dairy Council. The state has 365 milk vending machines in high schools, elementary schools generally don’t have vending machines. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Milk-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=400%2C400&ssl=1 "Milk Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The milk from modern machines is a far cry from the boring cartons of yesterday. Besides chocolate, there’s strawberry, cookies and cream, and vanilla cream available in colorful, opaque plastic bottles, and most of it is lowfat, Wilford said. “Some of the machines at this time of the year offer a nonalcoholic eggnog flavor, and it is a big seller,” she said. Nationwide, there are 7,000 to 7,500 machines dispensing milk in schools, and most of those have been installed in the past three or four years, said Julia Kadison of the Beverage Marketing Corp., an industry consultant. It’s largely an effort to push kids toward healthier food and drink. “School lunches do not give us enough milk,” Travis Brown, 16, a junior at Delavan-Darien High School, said as he supplemented the half-pint of milk he got with his cafeteria food with a pint from a vending machine. Matt Venema, 17, another junior at Delavan-Darien, buys milk from the vending machine because “it’s healthy and it tastes good.” In a state that claims milk as its state beverage and the dairy cow as its domesticated animal, dairy producers quickly got behind the effort to bring milk machines to schools. The Wisconsin milk board pays $100 to schools that install milk vending machines, Wilford said. Wilford, a nutritionist, pointed out that milk provides calcium, potassium, vitamins A and D and protein. Research presented at a medical meeting earlier this year suggested that adolescents who had just two servings of dairy food a day seemed to have less of a weight problem than kids who ate less dairy. Some doctors also say an often overlooked problem in teens is vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to weakened bones and stunted growth. During a recent lunch break, almost every student in the Delavan-Darien’s cafeteria was drinking milk, from the school lunch program, the vending machine or both. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Printer Ink Cartridge Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/printer-ink-cartridge-vending-machine/) > [Salvation Army Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salvation-army-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The Arizona Diamondbacks introduced a Twitter vending machine offering themed prizes for fans during La Terraza events at Chase Field. **Content:** The Arizona Diamondbacks have added a Twitter vending machine that will give fans a chance to win themed prizes by tweeting a specific hashtag. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Twitter-Vending-Machines.jpg?resize=750%2C1000&ssl=1 "Twitter Game Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The vending machine will be set up on the upper concourse of Chase Field on the days the D-backs host La Terraza events.

The code is specific for every person, so you can only use the machine once per game. “We don’t want one person to stand in front of the machine and tweet 50 times,” Krause said. “That’s why the machine generates one code per user per game.” Once you’ve tweeted, the machine will dispense a prize that could be anything from a D-backs koozie to a $20 voucher for food at Chase Field. “Last weekend was our first weekend using it and people seemed to really enjoy it,” Krause said. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine Experience](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-experience/) > [Egg Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/egg-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [意式薄餅自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/意式薄餅自動販賣機/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 這台意式薄餅自動販賣機能在兩分鐘內為客戶提供新鮮的意式薄餅，消費者只需選擇喜好的搭配即可。它配備了烤箱和冷藏技術，可以冷藏102塊薄餅，開業首日便賣完所有薄餅。意大利薄餅公司Wonder Pizza計劃將這款自動販賣機推廣至英國主要城市，期待吸引更多消費者。 **Content:** 這台 意式薄餅自動販賣機 能在兩分鐘內為客戶提供新鮮滾熱的意式博餅。 消費者只需從鍵盤上選擇自己喜歡的意式薄餅搭配，再等兩分鐘便可以享用安躺在烤架上的意式薄餅了。 [自動販賣機](https://ca.pinterest.com/pin/326722147965957630/)除了具備烤箱，還擁有冷藏技術，能夠冷藏102塊薄餅。開業第一天便將102塊的薄餅全數賣完。 意大利薄餅公司Wonder Pizza正計劃將這台意式薄餅自動販賣機推廣至英國所有主要的大城市。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Pizza-Vending-Machines.jpg?resize=440%2C445&ssl=1 "意式薄餅自動販賣機 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")意式薄餅自動販賣機 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [Onitsuka Tiger 波鞋自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%b3%a2%e9%9e%8b-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [自動化餐廳](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e5%8c%96%e9%a4%90%e5%bb%b3/) > [廉價T恤販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/2-%e6%ad%90%e5%85%83-t%e6%81%a4-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [樂高自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/樂高自動販賣機/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 任何希望經營快餐自動販賣機的孩子現在有機會通過玩樂高積木來實現。Astonishing Studios 在其 YouTube 頻道展示了他們設計的樂高自動販賣機，能販賣薯條、可樂和漢堡，並且內部由“Lego Mindstorm”運行，具備零錢收集功能。這不是他們第一次使用樂高來製造快餐販賣機，之前也創造過其他類似產品。 **Content:** 任何希望能夠經營一部屬於自己的快餐自動販賣機的孩子終於不需要只是空想了，因為只要你懂怎麼玩樂高積木，你就絕對有能力組合屬於自己的一台自動販賣機。來自 [Astonishing Studios](https://www.youtube.com/@AstonishingStudios) 的成員們在他們的 Youtube 頻道裡就展示出了這麼一部拼出來的 樂高自動販賣機, 能夠送出薯條、可樂、還有漢堡。 根據成員 Gizmodo 的介紹，這部自動販賣機背後是由一個叫“Lego Mindstorm” 的模具負責內部機件運行的, 販賣機裡還裝有一個零錢收集器，它負責在送出食物飲料之前收集顧客所支付的硬幣。 這並不是 Astonishing Studios 第一次將樂高運用在快餐了。在不久之前，他們就已經創造出了其他能夠販賣麥樂雞和薯條的分派機等。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [熱哄哄的咖哩飯！ 咖哩飯自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%92%96%e5%93%a9%e9%a3%af%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [新鮮 法國麵包自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%b3%95%e5%9c%8b%e9%ba%b5%e5%8c%85%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [為貧民區提供主食, 食物自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a3%9f%e7%89%a9%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Medicine Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/medicine-vending-machines/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Pharmacists support medicine vending machines for after-hours access, but emphasise the need for strict regulation and monitoring. **Content:** Pharmacists have expressed interest in medicine vending machines that would allow consumers to pick up prescription drugs out of hours. The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia last week said the ATM-style machines, gaining popularity in the US, could have a role in Australia for stable patients on regular medication. But it stressed the idea would have to be thoroughly investigated and strictly policed. PSA national president Brian Grogan said: “There are advantages if a pharmacy doesn’t open after hours and has one of these machines to provide a service to patients. But there would have to be some pretty strict controls.” Three American states opened the way for electronic drug dispensers to go into use this year, allowing the public out-of-hours access to common prescription medicines and cutting costs. A consumer phones ahead to order a prescription, which the pharmacist fills and places into the vending machine. The consumer picks up the prescription later, keying in a password or code. Dispensed drugs can include asthma and blood pressure medications and contraceptive pills. Mr. Grogan said there were disadvantages in that patients would lose contact with pharmacists who could monitor conditions. But he said for regular repeat prescriptions, where the patient was stable, there could be advantages. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [Umbrella Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/umbrella-vending-machine/) > [Flat Shoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/flat-shoes-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [香港學校 自助借書機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/香港學校自助借書機/) **Published:** October 23, 2020 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 這是一個與大角咀天主教小學合作的自助借書機項目，旨在為學生提供便利並促進閱讀。自助借書機可全天候服務，使學生在任何時間借書，並節省空間。這一創新設備不僅提高了圖書資源的利用率，還激發學生的閱讀興趣，有助於他們的自主學習和成長，展現了科技在教育中的重要應用。 **Content:** 一個非常有意義的項目。很高興和大角咀天主教小學合作開發 自助借書機, 為學生帶來歡樂並鼓勵他們閱讀! 很高興香港其他中小學之後有興趣並為學生設置自助借書機。 自助借書機使用方法 (Credit @ 福德學校)學校圖書館的自助借書機是一種創新且具前瞻性的設施，為學生及教職員工提供一個更便捷、靈活的圖書借閱途徑。這種設備特別適合那些希望擴展服務範疇並提升資源可達性的教育機構。以下是關於借書機的一些詳細介紹： ### **功能與優勢**: - **全天候服務**：自助借書機能夠提供24小時不間斷的服務，使學生即便在圖書館非開放時間也能進行借書操作，極大地提升了圖書資源的利用效率。 - **節省空間設計**：相比於傳統圖書館佔用大量空間來存放書籍，這種自動化設備顯著減少了所需空間，適合部署在空間有限的校園內。 ### **使用流程**: 1. **選擇書籍**：學生可以瀏覽借書機內的書籍，根據個人興趣選擇想要閱讀的書籍。 2. **辦理借閱**：確定選定的書籍後，學生可以通過學生證完成借閱手續。 ### **教育意義**: 自動借書售賣機不僅提高了知識獲取的便利性，同時也激發了學生對閱讀的興趣，有助於培養他們自主學習的能力和責任感。這對於推動學生個人成長以及學術發展具有重要意義。 隨著科技的日新月異和社會對教育質量要求的不斷提高，類似這樣的自動化解決方案正變得越來越普及，它們不僅提升了使用者的體驗，也使得教育資源的分配更加高效和公平。 **新聞**: - 教學有辦法：當自助借書機遇上讀書機器人 新科技帶學生喜閱校園 **圖書推介**: - [親子共讀 繪本推薦](https://www.benq.com/zh-tw/reading/mindduo/book-recommendation.html) --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [連漫畫也有賣? 地鐵內的 漫畫自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%bc%ab%e7%95%ab%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [圖書自動販賣機 促進地方文化和文學](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%9c%96%e6%9b%b8-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f-%e6%96%87%e5%8c%96-%e6%96%87%e5%ad%b8/) > [$2取得隨機圖書?! 隨機圖書自動販賣機!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%9a%a8%e6%a9%9f%e5%9c%96%e6%9b%b8%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) **Published:** October 23, 2020 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The project encourages reading at Tai Kok Tsui Catholic Primary School through a book vending machine that engages and rewards students. **Content:** A very meaningful project.

In US, the principal of Centre Hall Elementary School has started a fundraising program to purchase the book vending machine as well as a supply of books for the 2023-24 school year. The book vending machine, given as a loan from Random Acts of Reading (RoAR), was only supposed to stay until the end of the school year, but it was such a massive hit with the students that the school wants the installation to be permanent! Students can earn golden tokens by adhering to the school rules – being ready, respectful and responsible. Teachers bring their classes down weekly and allow students who have earned tokens to pick a book from the machine. Some of the books also contain special tickets where students can win an ice cream treat, use of the principal’s chair for the day, “stinky feet day” (the class gets to be in their socks and slippers for the day), show-and-tell and more. The school already received numerous and generous donations and reached 65% of fund required shortly after the start of the program!

Mask vending machines have become a common sight in Hong Kong, reflecting the city’s ongoing measures to ensure public health and safety, especially following the experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic. These vending machines were increasingly deployed across various locations in Hong Kong, including MTR stations, shopping malls, office buildings, and other public areas to provide easy access to masks for residents and visitors. The initiative to install mask vending machines was part of a broader strategy to promote hygiene and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These machines offer a range of mask types, including surgical masks, N95 respirators, and reusable cloth masks, catering to different needs and preferences. Local manufacturers and international brands alike have participated in this venture, ensuring that high-quality, certified masks are readily available through these automated points of sale. This widespread availability underscores the continued importance placed on personal protective equipment (PPE) in daily life and public health practices in Hong Kong. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Short Story Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/short-story-vending-machine/) > [Seal Vending Machine – DIY your seal](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/seal-vending-machine/) > [Ramen Noodle Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ramen-noodle-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Georgia Coffee Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/georgia-coffee-vending-machine/) **Published:** February 25, 2021 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Georgia Coffee, launched by Coca-Cola in Japan in 1975, exemplifies successful market adaptation and global expansion in ready-to-drink coffee. **Content:** [Georgia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(coffee)) Coffee Vending Machine spotted in Hong Kong! The history of Georgia coffee and its connection with Coca-Cola is an interesting blend of cultural adaptation and corporate strategy. Georgia Coffee is a brand of canned coffee that was introduced by The Coca-Cola Company specifically for the Japanese market, marking one of the company’s first ventures into the ready-to-drink coffee sector. ****Introduction of Georgia Coffee**** - **1975**: Coca-Cola launched Georgia Coffee in Japan. This marked a significant step as it was one of the earliest attempts by a major soft drink company to enter the coffee beverage market. The product was named “Georgia” after the American state where Coca-Cola was founded, symbolizing quality and heritage. ****Market Adaptation**** - The introduction of Georgia Coffee was a strategic move to cater to the unique tastes and preferences of the Japanese consumers, who have a strong coffee drinking culture, especially for canned and bottled coffee served in vending machines. ****Evolution and Expansion**** - Over the decades, Georgia Coffee has expanded its offerings to include a variety of flavors and types, such as black coffee, café au lait, and low-sugar options, appealing to a wide range of consumer tastes. - Its success in Japan led to expansions in other Asian markets where there is a demand for ready-to-drink coffee beverages. ****Significance**** - Georgia Coffee represents Coca-Cola’s broader strategy to diversify its portfolio beyond traditional carbonated soft drinks. It also highlights the company’s ability to adapt its products to suit local tastes and preferences, which has been crucial for its global expansion. Coca-Cola’s venture into the coffee sector with Georgia not only helped the company tap into a new market but also set a precedent for future innovations and acquisitions, like the later acquisition of Costa Coffee in 2018, further cementing Coca-Cola’s position in the global coffee market. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Umbrella Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/umbrella-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) > [Baguette Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/baguette-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [M&M's Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mms-vending-machine/) **Published:** February 25, 2021 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** M&M's originated in 1941 to enable chocolate transport for soldiers, gaining fame with their unique "m" stamp and colourful branding. **Content:** Spotted!

The company’s longest-lasting slogan reflects this: “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.” ### ****Fun Facts about M&M’s**** - M&M’s had **become so popular by 1950** that an ingenious solution for consumers to distinguish the real M&M’s from inferior imitators was to stamp each candy with the now famous **“m”**. - The letter “M” was printed on the candy in black ink until 1954; now it’s printed in white. - In 1972, the colorful characters first appeared on packaging, helping with M&Ms brand awareness. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) > [Screaming Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/screaming-vending-machine/) > [Luxury Goods Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-goods-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [自助支付機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/自助支付機/) **Published:** June 8, 2021 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 萬友富士專門根據客戶需求定制自助支付機，讓顧客能便捷支付並選擇遊戲，如大砲1或大砲2。該公司為香港海洋公園提供的項目受到許多家長和孩子的喜愛，並提供便利。除了自助支付機，萬友富士還提供多種產品與解決方案，包括自動販賣機、咖啡機和入閘機等，滿足不同市場需求。 **Content:** [萬友富士](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a6%96%e9%a0%81/)可以根據客戶的要求定制 自助支付機, 讓顧客支付和選擇他們想玩的遊戲。 (例如照片左手邊顧客可以選擇玩大砲 1 或大砲 2)。 以下是我們提供給香港[海洋公園](https://www.oceanpark.com.hk/tc)的項目。很高興看到很多家長和孩子喜歡我們的機器及其提供的便利！ ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Payment-Kiosk-Ocean-Park-2.jpg?resize=945%2C755&ssl=1 "自助支付機-海洋公園-2 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### **********其他****產品與解決方案************** > [飲品自動販賣機 (汽水機)](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a3%b2%e5%93%81-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [Crane 多用途自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/crane-%e5%a4%9a%e7%94%a8%e9%80%94%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [咖啡機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%92%96%e5%95%a1%e6%a9%9f/) > [支付解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%94%af%e4%bb%98%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88/) > [香港學校 自助借書機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a6%99%e6%b8%af%e5%ad%b8%e6%a0%a1%e8%87%aa%e5%8a%a9%e5%80%9f%e6%9b%b8%e6%a9%9f/) > [入閘機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%85%a5%e9%96%98%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 產品和解決方案 --- ### [Young Vending Machine Boss!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/young-vending-machine-boss/) **Published:** August 9, 2022 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Single mum Ciearra Baker gifted her children a vending machine for Christmas, sparking debate on parenting and practical learning. **Content:** In a heartwarming (and slightly controversial) twist on holiday gifting, single mom Ciearra Baker from St. Louis, Missouri, surprised her young son and daughter with a fully stocked vending machine for Christmas 2021. Instead of toys or gadgets, the 30-something mompreneur opted for a practical lesson in business basics, dubbing her kids “young bosses in the making.” The move, shared via a viral Facebook post, sparked a heated online debate about parenting, privilege, and the value of “real-world” gifts over instant gratification. ****The Gift That Keeps on Giving (Literally)**** Baker, who runs **Kidz Glam Kloset**—a mobile children’s fashion boutique—posted a photo of her beaming children posing beside the snack-filled machine on Christmas Eve. In her caption, she explained her philosophy: “I’m not buying toys… my kids most definitely will understand life is not easy and making the right choices with money & etc… So I came up with the idea to invest in vending machine for the kids as Christmas gift.” The machine came pre-loaded with starter snacks (think chips, candy, and sodas), turning playtime into profit time. Her goal? Teach them inventory management, customer service, and passive income from day one—skills she’d honed in her own business. At the time, her kids were young (exact ages undisclosed, but estimated elementary-school range), and Baker involved her daughter in promoting Kidz Glam Kloset, hinting at family teamwork from the start. ****Viral Fame**** The post exploded, racking up thousands of shares and comments. Supporters hailed Baker as a visionary: Reality TV star Masika Kalysha called it a “dope ass gift,” while others shared stories of wishing their own parents had done the same. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Vending-Machine-Gift.jpg?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1 "Vending Machine Gift - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Christmas Present A Vending Machine --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines for Charity Donations](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/giving-vending-machines/) > [Innovative Vending Machines: From Crickets to Collectibles](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-vending-machine/) > [NFT Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/nft-vending-machine/) --- **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Payment Kiosk](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/payment-kiosk/) **Published:** March 3, 2021 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vanyu-Fuji customises payment kiosks, showcased at Ocean Park, Hong Kong, enhancing the experience for families enjoying their services. **Content:** [Vanyu-Fuji](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-hong-kong/) can custom make payment kiosk according to our clients’ requirement for their customers to pay and select where they wish to play.

The first patent for a turnstile was registered in 1889 in England by John Gamgee, initially designed for regulating entry into amusement parks and other venues. Over time, their use has expanded significantly to include public transportation systems, stadiums, office buildings, and many other places where controlled access is necessary. One of the more intriguing uses of turnstiles comes from their ability to not only restrict and permit access but also to gather data. Modern turnstiles, especially those used in subway stations or large venues, can be equipped with electronic readers and sensors. These can track the number of entries and exits, peak times, and even the types of tickets or passes being used. This information is invaluable for improving crowd management strategies, optimizing facility operations, and enhancing security measures. Furthermore, it enables operators to adjust staffing levels and manage maintenance schedules based on actual usage patterns.

Nine types of insect snacks, including fried crickets, mole crickets, bamboo worms, diving beetles, locusts and silkworm pupae, are sold for 1,000 yen (about US$8) each. The aim is to contribute to the realization of the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ### **Why Insect Snacks in Ehime?** - **Sustainability push**: Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) has been promoting **insects as eco-friendly protein** since 2020. - **Regional innovation**: Ehime Prefecture supports **food tech startups** and **agrifood diversification**. Matsuyama, as the largest city in Shikoku, is a natural testbed. - **Tourism angle**: The machine attracts curious travelers—especially those visiting **Dōgo Onsen**, one of Japan’s oldest hot springs, located just a short walk from Matsuyama Station. ### **Context: Insect Snacks in Japan** - While still niche, edible insects are gaining traction in **Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, and now regional cities like Matsuyama**. - Other places to try them: **Tsukiji Outer Market (Tokyo)**, **Depachika food halls**, and **specialty izakayas**. - Japan hosts the **annual “Insect Cuisine Festival”**, and brands like **Bento&co** and **Chirps** (Japan branch) distribute nationwide. ### **Key advantage of eating Insect Snacks:** 1. **Nutritional Value**: Insects like crickets, mealworms, and ants are rich in high-quality protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. They also provide healthy fats, vitamins (such as B12), minerals (like iron and zinc), and fiber, contributing to a balanced diet. 2. **Sustainability**: Insect farming is much more sustainable compared to traditional livestock farming. Insects require significantly less water, feed, and space, and they produce fewer greenhouse gases. This makes insect-based foods a more environmentally friendly option for protein consumption. 3. **Resource Efficiency**: Insects convert feed into protein much more efficiently than traditional livestock. For example, crickets need 12 times less feed than cattle to produce the same amount of protein. 4. **Low Risk of Disease Transmission**: The risk of diseases transmitted from insects to humans is relatively low compared to that from conventional livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens, which can carry diseases like swine flu or avian flu. 5. **Versatility**: Insect snacks come in various forms, including whole insects, insect powders, and mixed into energy bars or chips, making them easy to incorporate into daily diets. Their versatility also extends to different cuisines and cooking methods. 6. **Support for Local Economies**: In many parts of the world, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, harvesting insects provides a source of income for local communities. As the global demand for insect-based products grows, this could offer new economic opportunities worldwide. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionary Frozen Sushi Vending Machines in Japan](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) > [Japan’s Whale Meat Revival: Inside Kujira Store Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) > [Baked Potatoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/baked-potatoes-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [盲盒 自動售賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/盲盒-自動售賣機/) **Published:** August 18, 2022 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 香港知名Youtuber Kimi試玩盲盒自動售賣機，該機器結合盲盒文化與自助購物概念。購買者在不知內含產品的情況下，享受購物樂趣。自動售賣機常售賣限量版玩具，吸引年輕收藏者。操作簡便，支持多種支付方式，並具備24小時服務功能，正逐漸成為新興零售模式，廣受消費者青睞。 **Content:** 香港 知名 Youtuber, Kimi, 試玩 盲盒 自動售賣機 .

Installed in March 2023, this unmanned “Kuma Niku Jido Hanbai-ki” (Bear Meat Vending Machine) addresses rising bear intrusions into human areas by turning culled animals into a local delicacy. Operated by the nearby Soba Goro restaurant, it’s positioned near JR Tazawako Station at the Tazawako Ichi local product shop, catering to tourists and residents via Japan’s famous 24/7 vending culture. As of November 2025, it remains operational with no reports of closure, though sales have stabilized at a niche level. **Launch and Purpose** - **Debut**: March 29, 2023, as a novel way to distribute meat from Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus, a vulnerable species per IUCN) hunted under Japan’s regulated quotas to manage overpopulation and prevent attacks—bear incidents in Akita rose 20% in 2022. - **Sourcing**: Meat comes from bears captured by local Matagi (traditional hunters) in the surrounding mountains, processed at Soba Goro. This promotes sustainable use of “problem” wildlife while reviving interest in bear cuisine, once a staple in rural diets but now rare due to declining consumption. - **Innovation Angle**: Blends Japan’s 2.3 million+ vending machines (world’s highest per capita) with eco-tourism; the machine features whimsical bear illustrations and bilingual signs. **Products Available** The machine dispenses frozen, vacuum-sealed packs ready for home cooking (e.g., stewing or grilling—bear meat is lean, gamey, and nutrient-rich, akin to venison). Stock rotates based on hunts, but core offerings include: ProductDescriptionPrice (JPY)Pack SizeNotesFatty Bear MeatMarbled cuts from the belly/shoulder, ideal for stews or yakiniku (grilled BBQ)2,200 (~$14 USD)250gRich flavor, higher fat content for tendernessLean Bear MeatMuscle cuts from the leg/back, suited for sashimi (after thawing) or stir-fries2,200 (~$14 USD)250gLower calorie, more chewy texture; popular for health-conscious buyersMixed Bear CutsAssorted lean/fatty blend for variety2,200 (~$14 USD)250gEntry-level option for first-timers### **Current Status (2025)** - **Sales**: Steady at 10–15 packs weekly, boosted by Akita Shinkansen passengers and social media buzz—early 2023 videos went viral, drawing ~100 visitors/month initially. No major 2024–2025 expansions, but it’s a fixture in local guides. - **Public Reaction**: Positive among Japanese locals and tourists for its novelty and cultural tie-in (Matagi heritage); international media hails it as “surprisingly successful.” Critics from conservation groups note the irony of vending vulnerable species, but hunts are capped at ~100 bears/year in Akita for population control. - **Accessibility**: Open 24/7; cash/card payments. Nearby, Soba Goro offers fresh bear dishes if the machine’s out of stock. > Bear meat isn’t very common so we want tourists who come to visit the town to buy it > > Sato --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [POKÉMON VENDING MACHINE](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pokemon-vending-machine/) > [Sushi Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) > [Squid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/squid-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Creative Vending Movement](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/creative-vending-movement/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines selling local art and unique items are increasingly popular, providing a platform for artists and businesses to engage customers. **Content:** There are now more and more vending machines popping up around the world selling local art products and other interesting items. ****Bellingham, Washington, US.

The fact that a genuine real vending machine is installed only 2 meters away, and lit up at night, only adds to the general confusion. Inevitably, some passers-by, duped into believing the vending machine is real, attempt to insert coins to buy a drink. On closer inspection, the door reveals the word “Push,” but otherwise there is no store name, sign or even a menu displayed to give any hint of what’s on the other side. This is actually a pub, but even people in the neighborhood remained unsure where the eatery was located. For a while, Takata, the owner feared the location of his premises might prove too confusing to attract a steady flow of customers. But now he is confident his business will prosper, especially after it featured on social media and television shows. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Random Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Nature Exchange Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/nature-exchange-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Sick Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sick-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A damaged vending machine is in need of repair, with hopes for residents to enjoy Coke again soon. **Content:** This poor Vending Machine is badly damaged. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sick-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=526%2C748&ssl=1 "Sick-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Image Credit [Mystery Soda Machine](https://www.facebook.com/people/Mystery-Soda-Machine/100064820255341/)Fortunately there is so much love around and hopefully the residents there can enjoy Coke again soon! ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Best-Wishes-to-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=579%2C971&ssl=1 "Best-Wishes-to-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Image Credit [John Kirk Smith](https://www.facebook.com/john.k.smith.9?comment_id=Y29tbWVudDo0NzE3MzQzMTY4MzMyMDI3XzQ3OTcxNjQyMjAzNDk5MjE%3D) --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Support Chester Zoo’s Vote Vending Machine Initiative](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vote-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines for Charity Donations](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/giving-vending-machines/) > [Exploring the Innovative Buzzwords Vending Machine at Plymouth College](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/buzzwords-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Vending Machine at home!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-at-home/) **Published:** June 7, 2023 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A home vending machine provides convenience, entertainment, and promotes healthy eating while adding a unique decorative touch. **Content:** Having a vending machine at home can be both a fun and practical addition, offering convenience and a touch of novelty to your living space.

Dorayaki — two fluffy castella pancakes hugging a thick layer of sweetened azuki red-bean paste — is more than just a snack in Japan. Thanks to a certain blue robotic cat named Doraemon, it is practically a cultural treasure. So when a glowing, humming machine appears on a quiet street corner promising fresh dorayaki 24 hours a day, it feels less like commerce and more like a small act of national service. Youtuber: [Critical Eats Japan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNKZfEgwsvU)These machines are still rare, which makes finding one feel like stumbling upon hidden treasure. They tend to cluster in three kinds of places: 1. Outside famous old dorayaki shops Legendary shops like Usagiya in Ueno or Kameju in Kameido have occasionally installed their own branded machines so fans can satisfy cravings long after the store shutters close. The dorayaki inside are the exact same ones sold over the counter — still slightly warm, sealed in clear plastic, waiting patiently behind the glass. 2. Inside or beside major train stations Tokyo Station’s underground “Gransta” shopping area and Ueno Station have both hosted limited-time dorayaki machines. Some are collaborations: a Doraemon-themed machine with the cat’s face plastered on every side, bells that play the anime theme when you make a purchase, and special “Doraemon-blue” packaging. 3. At roadside stations and tourist spots Travel to the countryside and you might find a michi-no-eki (roadside rest stop) with a machine selling local dorayaki made that morning — sometimes chestnut-filled in autumn, yuzu in winter, or sakura cream in spring. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Japan’s Whale Meat Revival: Inside Kujira Store Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) > [M&M’s Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mms-vending-machine/) > [Kobe’s Sweet Tomato Vending Machines: A Fresh Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/tomatoes-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Try Swedish vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/try-swedish-vending-machine/) **Published:** November 12, 2025 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The Swedish Embassy's "Try Swedish!" vending machine introduced authentic Swedish products to Tokyo, promoting cultural exchange with humour and creativity. **Content:** Tucked away in the bustling Roppongi district of Tokyo—a city renowned for its love of vending machines—the Swedish Embassy offered something delightfully unexpected: a bright yellow vending machine that didn’t dispense sodas or cigarettes, but Swedish culture. Launched in 2012 as part of a creative public diplomacy campaign, the “Try Swedish!” vending machine was more than just a novelty—it was a miniature embassy in mechanical form. Designed to introduce Japanese locals and curious tourists to Sweden’s unique blend of flavor, design, and innovation, the machine stood as a playful ambassador of Nordic life on a quiet Tokyo street. ### **A Tasty Introduction to Sweden:** The vending machine offered a curated selection of authentic Swedish products, carefully chosen to surprise and delight. Among its rotating inventory were: - **Salty licorice** (a polarizing favorite among Scandinavians), - **Surströmming-flavored chips** (a bold, tongue-in-cheek nod to Sweden’s famously pungent fermented herring), - **Daim chocolate bars**, - **Crispbread from Wasa**, - **Miniature IKEA pencils and other branded trinkets**, - And even **Swedish meatball-scented candles**—a whimsical fusion of food and fragrance that captured the campaign’s lighthearted spirit. Priced affordably—typically between ¥100 and ¥500 (roughly $1–$5 at the time)—each item was a bite-sized or pocket-sized passport to Sweden. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Try-Swedish-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=984%2C691&ssl=1 "Try Swedish Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Try Swedish Vending Machine### **Public Diplomacy with a Sense of Humor** The “Try Swedish!” initiative was spearheaded by the Swedish Embassy in collaboration with Swedish companies and cultural institutions, including the Swedish Trade Council and VisitSweden. It reflected Sweden’s broader soft-power strategy: promoting the nation not through formal lectures, but through approachable, everyday experiences infused with wit and warmth. “The idea was to make Sweden feel close, fun, and accessible,” explained a former embassy spokesperson. “In a city like Tokyo, where vending machines are part of daily life, we thought: why not use one to tell our story?” The machine quickly became a social media sensation, drawing long lines of curious passersby and generating international headlines. It even inspired copycat “cultural vending machines” from other embassies, though few matched Sweden’s mix of quirkiness and authenticity. ### **Public Diplomacy with a Sense of Humor** Though the “Try Swedish!” vending machine is no longer operational—it ran for about a year before being retired—it left a lasting impression. It exemplified how modern diplomacy can thrive outside traditional channels, using design, humor, and everyday objects to build cross-cultural connections. Today, the machine lives on in photos, news clips, and fond memories of those who once pressed a button and received a tiny taste of Sweden in the heart of Tokyo. It remains a charming reminder that sometimes, the best way to share a culture isn’t with a speech—but with a Surströmming-scented surprise. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Japan’s Whale Meat Revival: Inside Kujira Store Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/whale-meat-vending-machine/) > [Revolutionary Frozen Sushi Vending Machines in Japan](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sushi-vending-machine/) > [Mindful Marketing: The Do Nothing Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Under Water Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/under-water-vending-machine/) **Published:** May 22, 2024 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Airheads aims to revive adult swimming with an underwater vending machine that dispenses candy while submerged in pools this summer. **Content:** As recent survey indicated that nearly three-quarters of adults don’t swim as much as they did when they were kids.

Designed to make nutritious breakfast options more accessible for students, the vending machine was installed in partnership with the Craven County Schools School Nutrition Department. The unveiling on Monday was a surprise for students, who gathered in the hallway at Craven Early College High School, 801 College Court, in New Bern. Students can use the vending machine for free by inputing their student identification number. Kemari Johnson Black was one of the first students who got to use the vending machine. He said it’s a great step in the community of Craven Early College because some students depend on the meals they receive at school to feed themselves or siblings. “Fortunately enough, I haven’t had that worry, but I have friends who have that worry,” he said. “I think it’s very heartwarming to see that those very people can now come and get a free, healthy and delicious breakfast every single day.” Lauren Weyand, school nutrition director for the Craven County Schools School Nutrition Department, said the addition of the vending machine has been a long-awaited project. Weyand often works with the No Kid Hungry Program, which highlights the importance of breakfast for students. She recently participated in a No Kid Hungry Breakfast Design Lab, where she discovered innovative ways to serve more students. “I knew that there was a potential to serve more students at the early college because we don’t have a cafeteria or an ideal way to offer them breakfast,” Weyand said. Students at Craven Early College receive lunch from H.J. MacDonald Middle School, which is just a mile away from the early college. To determine if students at Craven Early College need breakfast, a survey is sent out but Weyand said not every student participates in the survey. Weyand said Craven County Schools offers universal free breakfast for students, so Weyand is excited that the early college students can now receive that same benefit. “Just today, we just had a few students out for the reveal and already they got breakfast,” Weyand said. “I’m hoping that it does do well.” Weyand said Craven County Schools repurposed a vending machine from New Bern High School for the grab-n-go breakfast vending machine. The vending machine was previously intended for use at New Bern High School to help shorten lines in the cafeteria, but it hadn’t been used in almost a year. “We realized that we can repurpose this vending machine and bring it to a location where we can offer students breakfast,” Weyand said. “There was no cost and we utilized students to design it for us.” Esther Aye’s artwork was chosen to decorate the vending machine. She created a design, using paint pens, that depicts a breakfast plate with pancakes, bacon eggs and a glass of orange juice. Aye said she thinks the breakfast vending machine is going to be helpful for many students. Instead of spending money at a fast food restaurant for breakfast in the morning, students can get a meal before class at Craven Early College High School. Weyand said they plan to monitor activity at the vending machine to determine which breakfast options are most popular. “When students have a say in what they would like to eat, they’re more likely to participate,” she stated. “Our hope is that since it’s here and with us listening to what they want to see in the vending machine, students will be more likely to take a breakfast.” --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Mystery Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/railway-mystery-vending-machine/) > [Mystery boxes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mystery-boxes-vending-machine/) > [Kobe’s Sweet Tomato Vending Machines: A Fresh Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/tomatoes-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [The God Diner](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/the-god-diner/) **Published:** November 12, 2025 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The God Diner, disguised as a vending machine, creatively critiques modern consumer rituals while celebrating Japan's unique vending culture. **Content:** Hidden in Ueno, *[The God Diner](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g14134274-d32844422-Reviews-The_God_Diner-Ueno_Taito_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html)* isn’t your typical eatery.

The machines will be installed at locations across the city and provide free books to kids living in ‘book deserts,’ or areas where they have limited access to buy age-appropriate books. Children and their parents will be able to take home as many books as they want all summer long. New books are put into the machines every two weeks. NYU Teams Up with JetBlue to Provide 66,000 Free Books to Kids in NYC FREE Books for Kids in Fort Lauderdale: JetBlue Book Vending MachinesThe concept of a “Soar with Reading” book vending machine is an innovative and inspiring initiative aimed at promoting literacy and the joy of reading among children. The core idea is to make books more accessible and to encourage reading in creative ways. ### **Key features and Objectives**: 1. **Accessibility**: These vending machines are typically placed in schools, libraries, community centers, and other public spaces where children can easily access them. The goal is to provide easy access to free books, helping to eliminate barriers that might prevent children from obtaining reading materials. 2. **Incentive Programs**: Often, these machines are part of broader incentive programs designed to motivate children to read. For example, students might earn tokens or coins for completing reading challenges or achieving certain academic milestones. They can then use these tokens to “purchase” books from the vending machine. 3. **Variety of Books**: Book vending machines stock a wide range of titles suitable for different age groups and interests. This ensures that there is something for every child, encouraging them to find books they truly enjoy. The selection often includes popular fiction, educational books, comics, and stories from diverse cultures and perspectives. 4. **Promoting Literacy**: By making books readily available, these machines aim to foster a love of reading from an early age. Regular access to books has been shown to improve literacy skills, expand vocabulary, and stimulate imagination and creativity. 5. **Community Engagement**: Initiatives like “Soar with Reading” often involve partnerships between schools, local businesses, and non-profit organizations. These collaborations help to fund the vending machines and stock them with books, while also raising awareness about the importance of literacy within the community. 6. **Customization and Technology**: Some book vending machines incorporate technology such as touch screens or digital interfaces to enhance user experience. Children might be able to browse books by category, author, or even take quizzes to recommend books based on their preferences. By combining the novelty of vending machines with the timeless value of reading, they will inspire a new generation of readers and learners. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Battery Recycling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/battery-recycling-vending-machine/) > [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) > [Luxury Goods Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-goods-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Automat](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/automat/) **Published:** July 6, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Automat vending machines revolutionised self-service dining in the 20th century, offering affordable, fresh meals before declining in popularity. **Content:** Automat vending machines represent a fascinating chapter in the history of automated food service. The concept of the automat was pioneered by Horn & Hardart in the United States, with the first one opening in Philadelphia in 1902, before expanding to New York City and other locations. Here’s what makes automat vending machines particularly interesting: ### **Key Features and Historical Significance** 1. **Self-Service Innovation**: Automats were essentially large, wall-mounted vending machines where customers could choose from a variety of freshly prepared foods displayed behind small glass windows. Each item had its own slot, and customers inserted coins to unlock the door and retrieve their meal. This self-service model was revolutionary for its time. 2. **Variety of Foods**: Unlike modern vending machines that mostly offer snacks and drinks, automats provided a wide range of hot meals, including main dishes, sides, desserts, and beverages. This made them a popular choice for quick, affordable lunches and dinners. 3. **Hygiene and Freshness**: Foods were prepared in central kitchens and then distributed to automat locations. Behind each little window, there was a compartment where the food was kept warm or cold, ensuring it remained fresh until purchased. This approach to food service emphasized cleanliness and hygiene, which was quite innovative for the early 20th century. 4. **Cultural Impact**: Automats became iconic symbols of urban life during the early to mid-20th century. They were especially popular among working-class individuals, offering an affordable dining option in bustling cities like New York. The automat also played a role in shaping American eating habits and expectations for convenience in food service. 5. **Decline and Legacy**: By the 1970s, the popularity of automats began to decline due to various factors, including rising labor costs, changing tastes, and increased competition from fast-food chains. However, the legacy of the automat lives on as a precursor to modern concepts like fast-casual dining and advanced vending technology. 6. **Modern Revivals**: In recent years, there has been renewed interest in automat-style vending machines, driven by advancements in automation technology and a growing demand for convenient, quick-service food options. Some contemporary versions use digital screens, smartphone integration, and robotic arms to prepare and dispense food, updating the original automat concept for the 21st century. The automat is not just a historical curiosity but a testament to the ongoing human desire for efficient, accessible, and hygienic ways to obtain food. Its influence can be seen in today’s efforts to innovate food service through automation and technology. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Short Story Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/short-story-vending-machine/) > [Yawn-activated Coffee Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) > [Luxury car vending machine sells Ferraris](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Container recycling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/container-recycling-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 6, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Wyndham City plans to trial reverse vending machines that reward users for recycling bottles and cans with vouchers or cash. **Content:** Thirsty consumers are comfortable buying drinks from vending machines, but now reverse vending machines will take their empty bottles back. The City of Wyndham in Melbourne’s outer west are planning a trial of the machines which exchange empty cans and bottles for promotional vouchers. A single machine could hold up to 2,000 bottles or cans. The machines would reward users with a voucher for a local attraction or an entry in a competition.

Launched by Procter & Gamble’s Old Spice brand, this oversized, interactive vending machine ran for just three days—from **February 12 to 14, 2015**—turning the bustling Midtown hub into a makeshift urban jungle. It was all in celebration of Old Spice’s “Fresher Collection” of body washes (scents like Timber, Amber, and Citron), blending eco-adventure vibes with the brand’s signature absurdity. Think: swapping a squirrel tail for a drone, because why not? ### **What Was the Machine?** - **Concept**: Dubbed the “Nature Exchange,” it wasn’t your standard snack dispenser. Instead, it invited commuters and tourists to “trade” natural oddities for manly prizes. Deposit an item from the wild (e.g., a pinecone, snake skin, or owl pellet), and out popped a reward—no cash required. It was framed as a “reward for fans” who embraced the great outdoors, even in NYC’s concrete chaos. - **Setup**: Nestled in **East Vanderbilt Hall** (the grand event space off the main concourse), surrounded by fake pine trees, prickly plastic grass, and faux wilderness backdrops. The machine itself was a massive, custom-built beast—taller than a person, with slots for “deposits” and dramatic reveal mechanics. - **How It Worked**: 1. Pick a category on the touchscreen (e.g., “Exotic Finds” or “Everyday Nature”). 2. Insert your nature item into the designated slot—judged by hidden sensors or staff for authenticity. 3. Receive a randomized prize, scaled to the item’s “wow factor.” - **Why February 12–14?**: Timed for Valentine’s Day weekend, it tapped into spontaneous romance (or bromance) with a nod to “fresher” scents for dates. The short run built hype—lines formed quickly, and it went viral on social media. ### **Trade Examples & Prizes** The exchanges were delightfully bizarre, emphasizing rarity and humor. Here’s a snapshot of what people traded and got back: Nature Item DepositedPrize RewardedVibe/Notes**Pinecone or Twig**Old Spice body wash kit or towelBasic entry-level trade for everyday finds.**Snake Skin or Brain Coral**High-end gadget like a portable speakerFor exotic hauls—proved you were a real adventurer.**Owl Pellet or Squirrel Tail**Drone or custom-engraved flaskTop-tier rarities; the “jackpot” for dedicated foragers.**Feather or Seashell**Scented cologne sample packQuick, low-stakes fun for casual participants.Prizes totaled over 100 items, all Old Spice-branded, with a focus on grooming essentials. No item was too weird—staff verified deposits to ensure they were genuine nature-sourced (no fakes!). ### **Impact & Legacy** **Post-2015**: It didn’t return, but inspired similar experiential marketing. **Crowd Draw**: It pulled massive lines during rush hour, with hundreds participating daily. Media outlets like Adweek called it a “generous and oddly specific” stunt that humanized the brand. Social buzz exploded, tying into Old Spice’s irreverent ads (remember “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like”?). --- ### ****Other Vending Machine Applications**** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) > [14-Year-Old Entrepreneur Creates First Aid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/first-aid-vending-machine/) > [Army Supplies Vending Machine for National Servicemen in Singapore](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/army-supplies-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [24 hours Bike Repair Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bike-repair-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A Bike Repair Vending Machine offers convenient self-repair solutions for bikers facing issues like flat tyres during commutes. **Content:** Why you need a Bike Repair Vending Machine? It’s happened to every biker. A flat tire in an inconvenient place on your commute, and the nearest bike shop is a long walk away. Most casual bikers don’t carry extra tubes or tools with them, and so any repair work on the road can mean an end to a bike ride, and potentially leaving your bike locked up somewhere slowly rusting as you forget about it in your frustration. The Fixtation is really just a Bike Repair vending machine, but with bike parts instead of snacks (though there are some snacks in case you’re getting hungry on your ride!) What makes it most convenient is the bike mount and tools—attached with aircraft cables to prevent theft – alongside the vending machine. You can replace that flat or adjust your brakes yourself without dealing with the characters who usually are employed at bike shops. Of course, you may not know how to replace a popped tube yourself; now is certainly the time to learn, so you can take full advantage of the Fixtation when it moves into your city. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Tools-for-Bike-Fixtation.jpg?resize=620%2C474&ssl=1 "自行車 修理 工具 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ****Other Vending Machine Applications**** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending machines dispenses books](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/book-vending-machines/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Umbrella Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/umbrella-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Bikestock](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bikestock/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Brooklyn's Bikestock offers 24-hour bike repairs through vending machines, fostering community support and responding to cyclists' needs. **Content:** There’s a reason New York City is dubbed “the city that never sleeps” — because it’s true. Anywhere at any time you can find anything you want. It’s truly a city of opportunity in that way. This means that at all hours of the day, people are out and about doing their thing. The streets of New York are the veins for how people do things, and the bike community within NYC is like no other in the country. Brooklyn specifically has a tight-knit group that is always looking out for each other. So it only makes sense that Brooklyn is the hub of Bikestock, New York City’s 24-hour bike repair service that operates out of vending machines. ![Bikestock Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Bikestock-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=300%2C159&ssl=1 "- Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")With four machines throughout Brooklyn and another two in Boston, Bikestock has won over the bike community of NYC thanks to its dedication to being there for bikers at all hours, but also because Bikestock is part of the community as well.

To make it easier for locals to recycle, they installed a Battery Recycling vending machine in different parts of Russia that only accepts batteries as payment. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Machine-that-take-battery-as-payment.jpg?resize=997%2C566&ssl=1 "Machine-that-take-battery-as-payment - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")“Think Blue” program embodies Volkswagen’s commitment to create a whole new standard of technologically progressive and environmentally friendly products to shape a more sustainable future. The aim was to encourage consumers to recycle their old batteries and VW made it easier to do so with incentives offered as well. Battery recycling is a problem in Russia, where over 15 million batteries and accumulators are thrown away every year in big cities like Moscow. One battery can pollute more than 20 square meters of the ground and many young people aren’t concerned about the problem, so Volkswagen and DDB Russia tried to motivate them. The Vending Machine was installed in popular locations around Moscow. Two batteries would get them an anti-stress ball, four batteries would buy them a bottle of water, and six batteries could purchase an eco t-shirt. One single machine collected over 8,000 batteries during the first month of installation. In comparison, a regular collection point in Russia usually gathers less than a thousand a month. The Think Machine successfully encouraged more people to recycle their batteries and gave them a little something in return. --- ### ****Other Vending Machine Applications**** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Book Vending Machines in Paris: 24/7 Access to Bestsellers](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/book-vending-machines/) > [Boost in Condom Accessibility with Vending Machines in Toilets](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safe-sex-vending-machine/) > [Cupcake Vending Machine: Sweet Solutions for Late Night Cravings](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cupcake-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Staple Food Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/staple-food-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Algramo's vending machines offer affordable staple foods in low-income areas, combating high prices and promoting sustainability through reusable containers. **Content:** Algramo strategically places its vending machines in lower-income communities – the very areas hit hardest by the economic phenomenon known as “small-format punishment.” In these neighborhoods, large supermarkets with their bulk discounts and bargaining power are rare. Residents rely instead on small bodegas and mom-and-pop stores, where everyday goods can cost up to 40 % more than in wealthier districts simply because of higher overhead and lower purchasing volume. ### ************Breaking the Poverty Premium************ Algramo’s machines directly challenge this inequality. The first 20 units deployed in Santiago dispensed core staple foods – rice, lentils, beans, and chickpeas – at prices significantly below those of traditional staffed stores. By eliminating the need for employees, advertising, rent for shelf space, and individual packaging, Algramo passes the savings straight to the customer. ### ********Pay Only for What You Need******** Customers choose the exact weight they want or can afford – 200 g, 1 kg, or anything in between. This “by-the-gram” model means families never have to buy more than they need or stretch their budget for a full pre-packaged size. ### ****Zero-Waste Refill System**** On a customer’s first visit, the machine dispenses a durable, RFID-tagged reusable container at minimal cost. From then on, users simply bring the same container back for refills, drastically reducing single-use plastic waste while earning loyalty discounts. ### ****Triple-Impact Mission in Action**** Algramo’s core philosophy is to generate positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes simultaneously. By delivering bulk-quality prices to the families who need them most, in a packaging-free format placed inside existing neighborhood stores, these vending machines embody that “triple impact” promise. ### ****The Road Ahead**** Starting from its proven base in Santiago, Algramo is expanding to additional cities across Chile and into neighboring countries. The company is also developing new dispensers for liquids such as cooking oil, detergents, and cleaning products, further broadening affordable, sustainable access to everyday essentials for underserved communities. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Methadone Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/methadone-vending-machines/) > [Trainers Vending Machine, Onitsuka Tiger](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/onitsuka-tiger-trainers-vending-machine/) > [Computer Memory Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/computer-memory-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [How to Keep Customers Happy and achieve booming Vending Machine Sales?](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/customers-happy-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Maintaining vending machines and responding to customer complaints promptly boosts sales and fosters positive customer relations. **Content:** When a customer has an issue with the machine, who can they turn to for complaint? For their money back? For the product that got stuck in the machine? They sometimes turn their frustration towards the machine and cause damage not only to the machine but to the area around the machine, like scratching the floor or damaging walls. This frustration can mount to a decrease in vending machine sales. Therefore, it is important to **Keep Machine Working**. If customers are experiencing repeat problems, such as the bill validator will not take their dollar bills, then fixing the problem is essential to keep those customers coming back to your vending machine and achieving great vending machine sales. The more problems people have with vending machines, the less likely they are going to be buying product from vending machines. Although keeping machines operating properly and clean takes time, it is time well spent in order to attract people to come to the machine and make purchases. Even if it takes replacing a vending machine altogether (as long as it is cost effective to do so), giving customers that convenience experience goes a long way in increasing happiness and increasing vending machine sales. Also, **respond to complaints quickly**. The best way is to have at least some contact information on the machines at all times. Phone number, email address, even a Twitter handle could offer customers a chance to contact vendors and report any issue. During off hours, vendors can also use call centers to handle complaints. The faster vendors deal with complaints, the better customers feel, and better numbers of vending machine sales. They feel validated in that their input is important and that their business is appreciated. Happy customers means repeat customers; therefore, responding quickly to their complaints is essential to give them a great customer experience. ****Keep Good Relations with the Point of Contact (POC)**.** For office buildings, apartments, hospitals, etc, there will always be a POC for vendors and route drivers. This person will receive complaints from customers, take down names for people needing refunds, and take notes of problems people have had with the machines. They are essentially working for the vendor for free. Keeping a good relation with this person will make their experience with a vendor’s company much better. If one day, a vendor sees that the person is upset because they have spent too much time receiving complaints about a machine, vendors should try giving them a soda or snack as a means of saying thank you. A little gratitude can go a long way, and vendors will want their POCs on their side because they can be great references for larger accounts in the future and increase revenue from vending machine sales. --- #### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Pajamas Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pajamas-vending-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Diamond Bracelet Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/diamond-bracelet-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In 2011, Hudson Hotel introduced a diamond bracelet vending machine, merging luxury and convenience, garnering media attention and cultural significance. **Content:** ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Diamond-bracelet-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=661%2C376&ssl=1 "Diamond-bracelet-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")In 2011, New York City’s trendy **Hudson Hotel**—a Philippe Starck–designed boutique hotel nestled in Midtown Manhattan—made headlines with an audacious fusion of high fashion, automation, and impulsive luxury: a **vending machine that sold diamond bracelets**. Dubbed a “bling machine” by the press, this gleaming, high-security dispenser was installed in the hotel’s lobby as part of a collaboration with **luxury jewelry brand Links of London** (then owned by the Folli Follie Group). Unlike the soda-and-snack dispensers most associate with vending machines, this unit showcased **sterling silver and 18-karat gold bracelets**, some adorned with **genuine diamonds**, priced between **$250 and $2,500**. ****A Statement in Retail Theater**** The concept wasn’t just about convenience—it was **experiential retail as performance art**. Positioned near the hotel’s dramatic spiral staircase and velvet-draped seating areas, the machine embodied the Hudson’s ethos: sleek, playful, and slightly surreal. Guests—often fashion insiders, celebrities, or affluent travelers—could browse sparkling jewelry 24/7 without interacting with a salesperson, appealing to those craving spontaneity or discretion. ****The machine itself was a feat of design and security:**** - Climate-controlled interior to protect delicate pieces - Tempered glass and anti-theft mechanisms - Soft LED lighting that highlighted each bracelet like a museum display - Touchscreen interface with product details and brand storytelling ****Why a Vending Machine for Fine Jewelry?**** The initiative tapped into several cultural currents of the early 2010s: - **The rise of “affordable luxury”**—high-end items presented in accessible formats - **The allure of instant gratification** in the digital age - **The blending of hospitality and retail**, turning hotel lobbies into lifestyle destinations As one hotel executive noted at the time: *“If you can order room service at 2 a.m., why not buy a diamond bracelet?”* ****Media Buzz and Cultural Impact**** The machine garnered widespread media attention, featured in **Vogue**, **The New York Times**, **BBC**, and **CNBC**, often framed as a symbol of eccentric urban luxury. Critics questioned its practicality, but supporters hailed it as a bold experiment in **democratizing luxury retail**—or at least, making it more theatrical. Though the Links of London vending machine was likely a limited-time installation (and Links of London later faced financial difficulties), it left a lasting imprint on conversations about **retail innovation, consumer behavior, and the boundaries of automation**. ****Legacy**** While diamond bracelet vending machines never became commonplace, the Hudson Hotel’s 2011 experiment remains a cult favorite in the annals of **unconventional retail**—a shimmering reminder that in the right context, even the most precious objects can find a home behind glass, waiting for a curious traveler with a credit card and a sense of whimsy. > ? *A press of a button, a soft chime—and just like that, luxury was dispensed.* --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Inside the World’s Largest Luxury Car Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines for Charity Donations](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/giving-vending-machines/) > [Reese’s vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/reeses-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Holiday! Scented air vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/scented-air-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A temporary vending machine at Slough station dispensed free "summer-scented" air, evoking holiday memories to uplift commuters in 2015. **Content:** From sun cream to freshly cut grass. Scented Air Vending machine brings the smell of summer to busy train station. It is a vending machine stocked with bottles of “summer-scented” air at Slough train station (Berkshire, UK) to help evoke holiday memories among commuters and offer the perfect pick-me-up for those who are feeling down. This was a promotional stunt rather than a permanent fixture, and it captured media attention in 2015. ### **What It Was** - **Concept**: The “Smells of Summer” vending machine dispensed free bottles of scented air capturing classic summer aromas and are national favorites. Top scents included: - Freshly cut grass - Barbecue (BBQ) - Sun cream (sunscreen lotion) - Sea air (Mediterranean-style breezes) - **Purpose**: Commissioned by Holiday Autos (a car hire comparison site, now part of Lastminute.com), it aimed to brighten up gloomy commuters’ mornings by triggering nostalgic holiday vibes. A survey by the company found that 69% of Brits consider smell the most evocative sense for recalling happy memories, with 82% saying summer scents could serve as a mood booster. - **How It Worked**: It was Twitter-activated—users tweeted their favorite holiday memory to @HolidayAutos using #SmellsofSummer, which triggered the release of a matching scent bottle from the machine. No payment required; it was all about the fun and free pick-me-up. - **Design and Setup**: Built by vending designer Solomon Rogers and tech firm Rewind in just a week, the machine held about 100 custom-labeled bottles. It was placed in the station’s ticket office for maximum commuter exposure. ### **When and Where** - **Launch Date**: Unveiled on July 30, 2015, right in the heart of Slough station—a busy hub on the Great Western Main Line, serving thousands heading to London Paddington daily. - **Duration**: It was a temporary installation, running for a short promotional period (likely weeks). Reports describe hundreds of commuters interacting with it immediately, calling it a “storm” of popularity, with plans to tour it to other UK stations—but no evidence it became a long-term thing. - **Location Specifics**: Slough station, Brunel Way, Slough SL1 1QW, UK. If you’re there today (as of November 2025), you’d find standard vending machines for snacks, drinks, and tickets, but nothing scent-related. ### **Why It Made News** This quirky setup went viral for blending tech, nostalgia, and marketing in a delightfully British way—think ambient advertising meets sensory therapy. It tied into Holiday Autos’ goal of inspiring travel bookings by “injecting fun, freedom, and frivolity” into daily routines. Media outlets like the Daily Mail and Belfast Telegraph hailed it as a clever mood-lifter for rainy commutes. > We want to inject fun, freedom and frivolity into holidays by giving people back that holiday feeling and something to smile about > > Michael Callaghan ([Holiday Autos](https://www.holidayautos.com/)) ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Vending-machine-stocked-with-bottles-of-scented-air.jpg?resize=634%2C347&ssl=1 "Holiday Promotion: Scented Air Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ****Other Vending Machine Applications**** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Promoting Literacy with a Kindness Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-dispenses-books-to-share-kindness/) > [Masks Vending Machine (HK)](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/masks-vending-machine/) > [Georgia Coffee Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/georgia-coffee-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Toothpaste Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/toothpaste-promotion-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Toothpaste vending machine represent a practical solution for providing essential oral care products, catering to customers who need them unexpectedly. **Content:** This is a clever idea to help to promote your toothpaste in this Toothpaste promotion vending machine! ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Toothpaste-Promotion-e1470966942213.jpg?resize=300%2C517&ssl=1 "Toothpaste Promotion - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Toothpaste promotion vending machineToothpaste vending machines represent a practical solution for providing essential oral care products on the go. Although not as common as other types of vending machines, toothpaste vending machines can be found in select locations such as hotels, airports, public restrooms, and shopping malls, catering to travelers or individuals who might need these products unexpectedly. ### **Key features and benefits** 1. **Convenience**: These machines offer a quick and easy way to purchase oral hygiene products like toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, and mouthwash. This is particularly useful for travelers who may have forgotten their personal care items or for those in need of an urgent replacement. 2. **Variety of Products**: Toothpaste vending machines often stock a range of brands and product types to cater to different preferences and needs. This includes various flavors of toothpaste, travel-sized options, and even eco-friendly or specialty dental products. 3. **Hygiene Focus**: Given the emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene, especially in public spaces, these machines provide a sanitary option for acquiring necessary oral care items without needing to visit a store. 4. **Innovative Technology**: Some advanced toothpaste vending machines incorporate smart technology that allows for contactless payment methods, including mobile payments or credit cards, enhancing user convenience and safety. 5. **Sustainability Options**: With increasing awareness about environmental issues, some toothpaste vending machines also offer eco-friendly products, such as biodegradable toothbrushes or refillable containers, promoting sustainable consumer practices. 6. **Customization**: Certain vending solutions allow users to customize their purchases, such as selecting specific quantities or types of products they need, making it easier for consumers to get exactly what they require. While toothpaste vending machines are still somewhat niche, they highlight the potential for vending technology to meet everyday needs in a direct and accessible manner.

These samples can then be bought. “I began collecting the DNA of my friends at my house during Friday night gatherings, and then furthered my collection through several scheduled open houses where anyone could come to my studio and sign up to submit an open-source sample of their own DNA,” the artist explained. Participants in the project spat into a vial containing solution that breaks down the cells found in the saliva, releasing the DNA. Alcohol was then added, causing the strands of genetic code to clump together and making them visible to the human eye. The vials were then sealed inside identical white containers and placed inside a standard vending machine. “Each sample comes packaged with a collectable portrait of the human specimen as well as a unique link to a custom DNA extraction video,” said Barcia-Colombo. The machine was installed in an art gallery in New York, and the artist recalls some of the reactions to the art piece. “They’re disgusted that this is using human genetic material, and they often are scared by it because the samples can be bought and used to plant evidence on a crime scene.” Barcia-Colombo sees comparisons between DNA ownership and concerns over the collecting and harvesting of our own digital data. > Our phones are harvesting our data and then being sold is a very similar idea to companies harvesting our DNA and selling it to pharmaceutical companies without us knowing. The DNA Vending Machine was designed to start a conversation that the artist feels is long overdue. One of the most high-profile cases surrounding the legality and ethics of DNA ownership was the example of Henrietta Lacks. While receiving treatment for cancer of the cervix in 1951, she had a healthy part of the tissue removed without permission. The cells were later grown in vitro and have since been used by pharmaceutical companies to develop polio vaccines and in the research of AIDS, cancer and radiation poisoning. The material is still used today and is referred to as “Hela Cells” in reference to the first two letters of her first and last name. More recently, a court case in 1990 between John Moore, a US citizen undergoing treatment for hairy cell leukaemia and the UCLA Medical Center brought the issue back into the headlines. “The supreme court decision in the case ruled that a person’s discarded tissue and cells are not their property and can be commercialised,” said Barcia-Colombo. “It’s ridiculous. When it becomes easy to reproduce these things, it brings up a lot of personal questions about rights and you as a personal franchise.” --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Do nothing for Beer Vending Machine!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [Yawn-activated Coffee Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Gatorade's "Sweat Machine" rewarded active individuals in Toronto with free drinks after demonstrating exertion, promoting hydration and fun fitness. **Content:** Gatorade launched the innovative “Sweat Machine” (often referred to as the Sweat Activate Machine) in Toronto as a promotional vending machine that rewarded active people with free drinks—but only if they’d truly worked up a sweat. If not, the machine challenged people to #KeepSweating by performing a few more squats, burpees or a jog on the spot. This was a clever, interactive stunt aimed at everyday athletes, shifting Gatorade’s focus from pro sports stars to motivating regular folks to stay hydrated and active. It ran in the summer of 2015 and became a viral hit. ### **What it was** - **Concept**: Unlike standard vending machines that take cash, this one used biometric sensors (like a hand panel for heart rate and sweat detection) to scan users. If your heart rate was elevated (e.g., over 120 bpm) and you showed signs of exertion, it dispensed a free bottle of Gatorade. If not, it playfully challenged you with on-screen prompts like “Do 20 burpees, 10 push-ups, or jog in place to #KeepSweating” before re-testing. - **Purpose**: To promote Gatorade’s message of replacing what you lose in sweat, while making fitness fun and accessible. It tied into a broader campaign celebrating “ordinary” athletes, backed by facts like how fitter bodies sweat sooner to cool down efficiently (thanks to 2-5 million sweat glands per person). - **Tech Behind It**: Developed by TBWA\\Toronto and Pixelpusher (a digital agency), the machine integrated pulse sensors and a custom interface for quick, engaging interactions. No coins needed—just effort! ### **When and Where** - **Launch Date**: Debuted in early July 2015, with the stunt captured in a YouTube video that racked up views through social media and influencers under #KeepSweating. - **Locations**: Temporarily set up in high-energy Toronto parks popular with runners, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts: - Trinity Bellwoods Park (a bustling west-end spot for picnics and workouts). - Ashbridges Bay (east-side waterfront trails for jogs and cycling). - Metro Square (a central urban hub). - **Duration**: A short-term activation (likely a few weeks), drawing crowds of curious passersby. Brand ambassadors were on-site to hype it up and help with exercises. ### **Impact and Fun Facts** - **Reception**: It lured in dozens per setup, with most users passing the “test” and walking away buzzing (literally and figuratively). Even those who didn’t got a laugh and a nudge to get moving. Media called it a “sweat test for amateurs” and praised its grassroots vibe. - **Why Toronto?**: As a fitness-forward city with year-round outdoor activity, it was perfect for testing this interactive idea. No similar machines have popped up since, but Gatorade has evolved with tech like the Gx Sweat Patch (a wearable for tracking sweat loss during workouts, not a vending machine). ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Sweat-Activiate-Vending-Machine.jpeg?resize=800%2C441&ssl=1 "Sweat Activate Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Staple Food Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/staple-food-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) > [Facebook vending machine, coke or tool](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/facebook-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Free Snack Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/free-snack-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Clemenger BBDO's 2020 campaign featured a vending machine dispensing free snacks to address food insecurity, raising awareness and funds. **Content:** In **2020**, **Clemenger BBDO Melbourne**, in partnership with **Foodbank Victoria** (Australia’s largest hunger relief organization), launched a powerful public awareness campaign to highlight **food insecurity** during the pandemic—especially among families and children. ### ? ******The Concept: A Vending Machine That Only Works If You Can’t Afford It****** The centerpiece was a **real, functioning vending machine** installed in a public space (Melbourne’s CBD) that **dispensed free snacks—but only to those who truly needed them**. ******Here’s how it worked:****** - The machine looked like a standard snack vending machine, stocked with popular items like chips, muesli bars, and cookies. - A sign read: **“If you can’t afford lunch today, it’s free.”** - There was **no payment mechanism**—no coins, no card reader. - Instead, users were asked to **honestly self-declare need**. - Anyone who felt they needed a free meal could simply **open the door and take a snack**. > ? **No verification. No judgment. Just trust.** ### ? ********The Emotional Hook******** Clemenger BBDO filmed real reactions—people hesitating, looking around, some in tears—capturing the **dignity, shame, and quiet desperation** often tied to food insecurity. The resulting video ad, titled **“Take What You Need”**, went viral in Australia and internationally. The campaign’s tagline: > **“Hunger doesn’t take a holiday.”** **********It aimed to:********** - Challenge public perceptions of who experiences hunger (hint: it’s often **working parents, students, and “invisible” households**). - Drive donations to Foodbank Victoria. - Encourage empathy over stigma. ### **********Impact & Recognition********** - The campaign raised **significant funds and awareness** for Foodbank Victoria during a critical time (amid lockdowns and job losses). - It won multiple awards, including at the **Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity** (2021) and **Spikes Asia**. - It sparked national conversations about **poverty, dignity, and social safety nets** in one of the world’s wealthiest countries. --- ### **********Why a Vending Machine?********** The vending machine was a **brilliant symbolic choice**: - It represents **transactional society**—you pay, you get. - By removing payment and relying on **honesty and need**, it subverted that norm. - It made **invisible hunger visible** in a public, relatable way. As Clemenger BBDO’s executive creative director said: > *“We wanted to create a moment where people had to confront the reality of hunger—not as a distant issue, but as something happening right beside them.”* --- ### **********Important Note********** This was **not a permanent installation**—it was a **short-term experiential activation** designed to generate media, empathy, and donations. It was **not a commercial product** or a public service, but a **strategic, empathy-driven stunt** rooted in real social need. --- **********In Summary********** ✅ **Agency**: Clemenger BBDO (Melbourne) ✅ **Client**: Foodbank Victoria ✅ **Campaign**: “Take What You Need” / “The Free Snack Machine” ✅ **Year**: 2020 ✅ **Purpose**: Raise awareness and funds for food insecurity during the pandemic ✅ **Key Insight**: Hunger affects people who don’t “look poor”—and dignity matters.

It’s estimated that counterfeit-card fraud will rise to $4.5 billion in 2016, according to researcher Aite Group, as cybercrooks increase their efforts before all merchants and banks comply with the more secure technology. In view of this, Visa said it is simplifying its equipment-certification process and changing its chargeback policies to reduce liability faced by merchants, including vending operators, who haven’t yet moved to accept chip cards. Effective July 22, Visa will block all U.S. counterfeit-card fraud chargebacks under $25. And starting in October, it will allow banks to charge back only 10 counterfeit transactions per account, and will require them to assume liability for all transactions thereafter. The blocks will remain through April 2018. These two changes will significantly reduce the number of chargebacks that merchants are seeing, Visa predicted. Following these changes, Visa claims merchants can expect to see 40% fewer counterfeit chargebacks, and a 15% reduction in U.S. counterfeit fraud dollars being charged back. The policy updates are also designed to reinforce the issuer’s responsibility to detect quickly and act upon counterfeit fraud. The [National Automatic Merchandising Association](https://namanow.org/) said Visa’s new policy will alleviate the impact that fraudulent charges have on vending operators, who previously were bearing the cost. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Visa-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=375%2C500&ssl=1 "Vending operators’ Fraud Liability Reduced - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-hong-kong-2/) > [Coin usage at Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/history-of-coin/) > [Security Features of Hong Kong Bank Notes](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/security-feature-hong-kong-bank-note/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Coin usage at Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/history-of-coin/) **Published:** July 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coins have been crucial for vending machines due to their durability, counterfeit resistance, and offline usability, despite declining usage. **Content:** Coins have been the **primary currency** for vending machines since their modern inception in the late 19th century. Their standardized size, weight, durability, and metal composition make them ideal for automated acceptance—unlike paper money or tokens, which require more complex validation. ### **********How Coins Are Used in Vending Machines:********** 1. **Payment Input** Users insert coins into a slot. The machine’s **coin acceptor** immediately begins analyzing each coin using: - **Mechanical sensors** (for diameter and thickness) - **Electromagnetic sensors** (to detect metal composition) - **Weight checks** (in older models) 2. **Validation & Sorting** Genuine coins are routed to a **cash box**, while slugs, foreign coins, or damaged currency are rejected and returned. Modern machines can distinguish between dozens of coin types—even detecting counterfeit or worn coins. 3. **Transaction Completion** Once the correct amount is reached, the user selects a product, and the machine dispenses it. Any change is returned from a **separate coin hopper** (usually pre-loaded with small denominations). --- ### **********Why Coins Work So Well:********** - ✅ **Durability**: Coins last decades—ideal for repeated handling. - ✅ **Consistency**: Government-minted coins meet strict tolerances. - ✅ **Low fraud risk**: Harder to counterfeit than bills (especially bimetallic coins). - ✅ **No network needed**: Unlike card payments, coins work offline. --- ### **********Challenges Today:********** - **Declining coin usage**: With the rise of contactless payments, fewer people carry change. - **Wear and tear**: Heavily circulated coins may be misread or jam mechanisms. - **Maintenance**: Machines require regular emptying and hopper refills. - **Global travel issues**: Tourists often insert foreign coins (e.g., UAE dirham in Euro machines), causing errors. --- ### **********The Future********** While **cashless vending** is growing, coins remain essential in many regions—especially in **Japan, Europe, and rural areas**. Some newer machines even **recycle change** by offering digital refunds via QR code instead of physical coins. Yet, as long as there are coins in pockets, they’ll keep spinning through the gears of vending machines—quietly powering one of the world’s oldest forms of automated commerce. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Articles****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-hong-kong-2/) > [Security Features of Hong Kong Bank Notes](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/security-feature-hong-kong-bank-note/) > [Circulating Coins](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/circulating-coins/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Banknote at Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/history-of-banknotes/) **Published:** July 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines evolved from coin-only systems to accept banknotes, but rising contactless payments are diminishing cash usage. **Content:** While **vending machines were originally designed for coins**, their relationship with **banknotes (paper money)** has evolved significantly—shaping both technology and cash usage. **********Key Points: Banknotes & Vending Machines********** 1. ****Late Adoption**:** Early vending machines (late 1800s–mid 1900s) accepted only coins due to their uniform size and metal content. Banknote-accepting technology emerged only in the **1970s–1980s** with advances in optical and magnetic sensors. 2. ******Banknote Validation Technology**:**** Modern bill validators use: - **Optical scanning** (to read patterns, watermarks, security threads) - **Magnetic detection** (to identify ink composition) - **Size and thickness sensors** This helps prevent fraud and ensures only genuine, undamaged notes are accepted. 3. ********Impact on Banknote Design**:****** Central banks now consider **machine readability** when designing notes. Features like consistent sizing (e.g., all Euro notes share height), clear contrast, and embedded security elements help vending systems process them reliably. 4. **********Decline in Banknote Use:********** As vending machines increasingly accept **contactless payments**, the need for cash—especially higher-denomination notes—has dropped. This contributes to reduced circulation of banknotes, especially in urban areas. 5. **********Regional Differences:********** - In **Japan**, high-trust cash culture means vending machines commonly accept **¥1,000–¥10,000 notes**. - In the **U.S.**, most machines accept only **$1 and $5 bills**; $20+ notes are often rejected. - In **Europe**, many machines avoid banknotes altogether, relying on coins or cards. ### **********Conclusion********** Vending machines have pushed banknote technology forward—but as cashless payments rise, their role in circulating paper money is fading, turning everyday notes into less-frequently handled items, with subtle implications for future numismatics and monetary behavior. --- #### ******Other Articles****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-hong-kong-2/) > [Coin usage at Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/history-of-coin/) > [Circulating Coins](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/circulating-coins/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Circulating Coins](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/circulating-coins/) **Published:** July 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines rely on standardised coin specifications, influencing coin design, while declining coin use shifts towards digital payments. **Content:** **Current circulating coins and vending machines** share a practical, interdependent relationship: vending machines rely on standardized coin specifications to operate reliably, while coin design and circulation are often influenced by the technical needs of these machines. **********Key Points:********** 1. ************Strict Technical Requirements************ Vending machines use sensors to verify a coin’s **diameter, thickness, weight, and electromagnetic signature**. This means circulating coins must maintain precise, consistent physical properties—any deviation (due to wear, counterfeiting, or foreign coins) can cause rejection or jams. 2. **************Influence on Coin Design************** Many modern coins are engineered specifically for machine readability: - **Bimetallic coins** (e.g., UK £2, Euro €1/€2) are harder to counterfeit and easier for machines to identify. - **Milled edges, grooves, or segmented rings** help distinguish denominations. - Countries like Canada and Sweden have even **eliminated low-value coins** (e.g., 1¢, 2¢) partly because they’re inefficient for vending systems. 3. ****************Regional Compatibility Issues**************** Similar-looking coins from different countries (e.g., **Filipino ₱10** vs. **UAE 1 dirham**) sometimes trick older vending machines—leading to fraud or the need for updated validators. 4. ********************Declining Coin Use******************** As contactless payments grow, fewer people carry coins, reducing their circulation. In response, some vending operators **disable coin slots** or offer **cashless-only machines**, accelerating the shift away from physical change. 5. **********************Coins **as “Machine-Tested” Currency************************ Coins that remain in active vending circulation tend to be **heavily worn**—making uncirculated or near-perfect examples more valuable to collectors (numismatists). --- ### ********************Final Note:******************** Today’s circulating coins are **designed with vending machines in mind**, ensuring smooth commerce.

**Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 中國貨幣的歷史超過4000年，經歷了貝幣、布幣、刀幣等各種形式。紙幣的出現標誌著貨幣的一次重大進步，漢武帝的“白鹿皮幣”被認為是紙幣的先驅，而唐代的“飛錢”則是匯兌的憑證，皆未成為真正的紙幣。北宋的“交子”是首個真正的紙幣，由於商品經濟發展和銅錢短缺，四川商人私下流通的革新促成了紙幣的誕生。 **Content:** 根據文獻記載和大量的出土文物考證，中國貨幣的起源至少已有4000年的歷史，從原始貝幣到布幣、刀幣、圜錢、蟻鼻錢以及秦始皇統一中國之後流行的方孔錢，中國貨幣文化的發展可謂源遠而流長。 紙幣的出現是貨幣史上的一大進步。錢幣界有人認為中國紙幣的起源要追溯到漢武帝時的 “白鹿皮幣” 和唐代憲宗時的 “飛錢”。漢武帝時期因長年與匈奴作戰，國庫空虛，為解決財政困難，在鑄行 “三銖錢” 和 “白金幣”（用銀和錫鑄成的合金幣）的同時，又發行了“白鹿皮幣”。所謂 “白鹿皮幣” ，是用宮苑的白鹿皮作為幣材，每張一方尺，周邊彩繪，每張皮幣定值40萬錢。由於其價值遠遠脫離皮幣的自身價值，因此“白鹿皮幣”只是作為王侯之間貢贈之用，並沒有用於流通領域，因此還不是真正意義上的紙幣，只能說是紙幣的先驅。 “飛錢” 出現於唐代中期，當時商人外出經商帶上大量銅錢有諸多不便，便先到官方開具一張憑證，上面記載著地方和錢幣的數目，之後持憑證去異地提款購貨。此憑證即“飛錢”。 “飛錢”實質上只是一種匯兌業務，它本身不介入流通，不行使貨幣的職能，因此也不是真正意義上的紙幣。北宋時期的“交子”則是真正紙幣的開始。 **900年來，“交子”誕生地始終是個謎** 據專家考證，“交子” 最早是以私下流通的形式出現的，所以又稱 “私交子”。著名經濟史專家、西南財經大學貨幣證券博物館館長劉方健介紹說，北宋初年，成都一帶商業十分發達，通貨緊張，鐵錢卻流通不暢，於是當地16家富戶開始私下印製一種可以取代錢幣、用楮樹皮造的券，後來被稱作“交子”。當地政府最初想取締這種 “新貨幣”，但是這種“新貨幣”在經濟流通中作用卻十分明顯，於是決定改用官方印製。 **產生原因** 紙幣出現在北宋並不是偶然的，它是社會政治經濟發展的必然產物。宋代商品經濟發展較快，商品流通中需要更多的貨幣，而當時銅錢短缺，滿足不了流通中的需要量。當時的四川地區通行鐵錢，鐵錢值低量重，使用極為不便。當時一銅錢抵鐵錢十，每千鐵錢的重量，大錢25斤，中錢13斤。買一匹布需鐵錢兩萬，重約500斤，要用車載。成都是重要的經濟重地，而且，蜀漢通往外界的道路又異常崎嶇難行，因此客觀上需要輕便的貨幣，這也是紙幣最早出現於四川的主要原因。

**Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 自動販賣機是提供選定產品的自動設備，顧客在支付後可獲得選購商品。小企業透過自動販賣機能以低成本獲得額外收入。擁有者需先填充商品，然後測試機器的運作，包括驗證付款方式。確認無誤後，職員會定期前來收取收益並檢查機器狀況，以確保正常運行。自動販賣機的多樣化應用進一步提升了其商業價值。 **Content:** 根據字典上對於[自動販賣機](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vending-machine)的定義，自動販賣機是指一部在接受顧客付款金額後會向顧客提供所選產品的機器。自動販賣機 能夠為小企業的老闆在幾乎零開支的情況下提供額外的收入。下面解釋自動販賣機運作: **步驟1: 為自動販賣機填貨** 擁有自動販賣機的第一步, 就絕對是先將你想賣出去的產品放在販賣機裡面。對於小型企業的自動販賣機擁有者，一般開啟機門的鑰匙都是他們所保有的。 **步驟2: 對自動販賣機進行測試** 為了確保自動販賣機能夠正常運作並向顧客提供產品，在啟用之前應該先嘗試購買一個或數個產品，付款時為了確保硬幣和紙幣都能正常使用，因此兩種付款方式也要測試。販賣機的設計有許多種，例如內部對於硬幣的真偽鑑定系統都是依靠電磁場去量度硬幣長寬厚度的切合性，同時也可以判斷硬幣的面額。至於紙幣，一般都是以鐳射掃描後利用小型電腦對紙幣的面額進行判斷。付款後，內部的小型電腦會計算出所接納的總金額，然後讓顧客選擇與金額價值相對的產品。當顧客選擇後，電腦會向控制發動機的控制板發出電子訊號，使發動機推動將產品推到取貨口裡。最後，電腦會自動計算出需要找的零錢，等待顧客取走。 **步驟3: 取錢** 一般而言，職員會負責每星期或者每個月到各個自動販賣機裡取走所賺取的收益。與此同時，還會負責檢查自動販賣機的情況，包括有否損壞或者需要保養等等。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** >

**Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 1912年，紐約時代廣場首部自動化餐廳Automat問世，因其新穎的販賣機功能而受到廣泛歡迎。Horn & Hardart公司以“來嚐嚐吧！你會喜歡上它的！”進行宣傳。這部餐廳不分社會階級，極大地推動了午餐文化和快餐理念的興起。在全盛期，每天接待75萬客人，促使人們的飲食習慣發生變化，成為生活的重要一部分。 **Content:** 1912年，紐約時代廣場，世界上首部 自動化餐廳 Automat面世了。當時這部販賣機除了以新奇作為賣點，它能售賣食物的功能也獲得了不少人的喜愛。 Horn & Hardart 公司當時就以口號 “來嚐嚐吧！你會喜歡上它的！”（Try it！You`ll like it！）來替這部嶄新的販賣機宣傳。 “這部販賣機所體現的快餐文化正是我們紐約市所需要的。” 烹飪歷史學家Laura Shapiro說到。“時間金錢與速度正主宰著紐約市。” 當時這部販賣機的出現，在一位澳洲作家的筆下化作了一座足以改變人生的寶庫：“在紐約，所有平民都成為了命運的操縱者，他們站在阿里巴巴故事裡的寶庫前，輕聲說到“芝麻開門！”，於是一塊火腿三文治，或是一個桃子麵包就落在了人們的跟前。” 在工業革命以前，人們並沒有午餐的概念，而且一般飯食都是在家裡解決的。隨著白領和藍領的增加，午餐才慢慢變為文化，並在業界開闢出了一段屬於 “吃午飯” 的時間。 在全盛期，Horn & Hardart 公司的 Automat 自動化餐廳每天就有75萬個客人前來光顧。 在費城開業的第一部Automat待客非常平等，因為這家自動化餐廳外擺放的椅子並不區分人們的社會階級，而也正因為此，Automat取代了當地被頒發禁令的免費午餐廣場。這部外框由意大利大理石造成的黃銅販賣機還提倡潔淨，因為在販賣機後負責準備食物的工作人員需要觸碰食物的時間非常短（一般食物都是由附近的11間小賣部的人負責煮好的）。而作為顧客，他們則可以選擇任何他們喜歡吃的東西。 作家 [Alfred Kazin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Kazin) 回想起以往和歷史學家 [Richard Hofstadter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hofstadter) 一起每天都會做的一件事：“我們一整個早上都會在紐約公共圖書館工作，然後到對街的Automat吃午餐，吃完後玩一場每次都是Richard贏的乒乓球。接下來的時間就繼續在圖書館工作。” --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** >

年齡審核裝置，主要透過掃描IC卡來審核年齡。然而，在那之前是誰都可以購買香煙的。售賣酒精飲品的自動販賣機也有面對年齡限制的問題，而相關廠商也相繼在自動販賣機上安裝了審核駕照和ID磁卡的功能。 此外，對於自動販賣機持續耗電的問題上也存在憂慮，特別是售賣飲料的自動販賣機，裡面的冰箱為了保持飲料冰涼或者溫暖而要24小時運作，這招來了不少的反對聲音。然而，相關廠商在不久前就發明了一部自動販賣機，能夠透過一個名為“Zone cooling”的科技瞬間為飲料降溫。針對自動販賣機的照明系統也有相關的節電措施，像是使用感應器控制燈光的開關，或者直接將販賣機燈光的亮度減低。有賴各種環保措施，販賣機工廠成功地將販賣機年均耗電量減少至1990年的一半了。 --- ### ******其他文章****** >

Curious）的，但於以物易的交易中使用其他商品是不可能的，即使使用的是流通錢幣（情況就如監獄中的香菸一樣）。多個世紀以來，很多物件被用作錢幣，如貝殼、貴金屬及寶石。 > [紙幣的歷史](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%b4%99%e5%b9%a3%e7%9a%84%e6%ad%b7%e5%8f%b2/) >

**Excerpt:** 現代的循環硬幣採用雙金屬技術以防止偽造，這種低成本的防偽技術雖然有效，但偽造硬幣仍然屢見不鮮。許多偽造硬幣因為顏色及外形上的瑕疵而容易被識別。隨著歐羅在歐洲普及，偽造事件逐漸增加，促使有關機構成立技術科學中心以提升防偽技術。目前估算約3.04%的1英鎊硬幣為偽造品，且2002至2006年間有40萬枚偽造歐羅被查獲。 **Content:** 現代的 循環硬幣 一般都是靠著鑄造硬幣時利用不同顏色的雙金屬去防止他人偽造的，這是一種低成本的防偽造技術。 一般偽造的硬幣上需要上色的部分面積都會和真正的硬幣不一樣，因此偽造硬幣上的顏料非常容易脫落，使硬幣表面變得十分粗糙。 現在許多偽造的硬幣都有著同樣的問題，就是即使他們使用的是和真正硬幣一樣的雙金屬，然而硬幣的外形往往是非常簡陋，像是硬幣周圍的磨紋，或者硬幣上的文字，從這些設計上面我們都可以找到瑕疵。 當歐羅開始在歐洲通用的時候，一開始並沒有多少偽造硬幣的事件，然而隨著時間流逝，現在的偽造硬幣事件數目正在以驚人的速度增加。歐洲偽造硬幣事件數目的持續上升迫使相關部門成立了技術科學中心（[Technical and Scientific Center](https://economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/euro/anti-counterfeiting/european-technical-and-scientific-centre-etsc_en)），目的就是為了發展防止偽造硬幣的科學技術。 截至現在，有估算認為市面上已經有大約3.04%的1英磅硬幣是偽造的。在2002年到2006年間，大約有40萬枚偽造歐羅硬幣被抽走。 --- ### ******其他****文章********** >

**Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 日本推出的尖峰轉移自動販賣機獲得能源保護獎，該設計旨在應對2011年大地震後的能源需求。其創新之處在於將冷卻系統的運行高峰期轉移至夜間，以降低日間的電力消耗。透過高科技絕緣技術，該販賣機能有效維持飲品的低温，即使在白天外部高温影響下，仍能以低耗電量提供冰涼飲品。 **Content:** 日本推出了一部叫 尖峰轉移自動販賣機, 這部機依靠用於冷卻飲品的耗電轉移到夜間進行的設計獲得了能源保護獎。設計理念主要是為了在[2011年日本大地震](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E5%B9%B4%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%9D%B1%E5%8C%97%E5%9C%B0%E6%96%B9%E5%A4%AA%E5%B9%B3%E6%B4%8B%E8%BF%91%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87)時日本所受的損失上做出能源上的貢獻。 由於一般自動販賣機的冷卻系統都是在日間運轉得最多，因此日間的耗電量非常大。這部尖峰轉移販賣機則是將內部冷卻系統的運轉高峰期轉在夜間進行。由於夜間販賣機能夠以較少的用電就發揮到一樣的運作效率，因此將高耗電的冷卻過程轉移到夜間是能夠節省不少電量的。 飲品被冷卻後，為了防止外部溫度影響飲料的溫度，因此這部尖峰轉移販賣機採用了高科技絕緣技術，利用真空原理以及適當的恆溫系統避免日間外部高溫影響飲品。 這種技術使得販賣機能夠在低耗電的情況下和其他販賣機一樣隨時提供冰涼的飲品。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** >

July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在香港，自動販賣機主要販售食物、飲品及生活用品，提供現金和手機支付等多種付款方式。由於高勞動成本，這些機器操作方便且營運成本低，能夠24小時運作，節省了商店的人力需求。自動販賣機的位置選擇至關重要，需考慮人流密集區。許多公司利用自動販賣機進行宣傳活動，例如高露潔在多個商場販賣健康相關產品，並助公益。 **Content:** 在香港，自動販賣機 (也稱 自動售賣機 ) 主要售賣食物、飲品、雨傘、化妝品、手機殼等。可以用現金、手機支付或者[八達通](https://www.octopus.com.hk/en/consumer/index.html)付款。 由於香港的勞動成本高，土地也有限，自動販賣機的出現對於香港而言非常合時。操作方便，營運成本低，容易維修保養是自動販賣機的主要優勢。擁有者並不需要聘請職員看守自動販賣機，而且自動販賣機能24小時不休不眠地工作。此外，因為有了自動販賣機，人們再也不需要特地走到老遠的便利店購買食物飲料，也不用擔心因為店鋪關門而買不到東西了。 在香港，能節省營運成本是一件非常重要的事。根據香港電台的調查，在港鐵站內直接租用一部自動販賣機所需要的價錢遠比在港鐵站內租用廣告位便宜。使用自動販賣機不僅能夠做到為自己的產品宣傳的效果，還能夠以觸手可及作為賣點。這也就是為什麼一些像是可口可樂和維他奶這些大型公司會在香港各處擺放大量自動販賣機的原因了。 自動販賣機生意上最重要的考慮點就是自動販賣機擺放的位置，該處人群密集與否是被納入考慮範圍之中的。 某些公司會利用自動販賣機為公司做宣傳運動。例如香港的高露潔公司之前便在港島、九龍和新界的12個商場裡擺放了自動販賣機，這些自動販賣機上會播放一段與牙齦健康相關的視頻。顧客在投入1元硬幣後便會獲得一顆青蘋果，一支牙膏和一張有著牙齦出血測驗的傳單。一旁的工作人員將會鼓勵參與的群眾完成傳單上所示的測驗，並根據測驗結果向顧客推薦公司產品。參與者可以透過在Facebook分享活動免費獲得一支牙刷。所投入的1元將會捐贈予Make-A-Wish基金會。

自動販賣機在印度並不常見，一般只能在一些比較大型的城市或者某些高速公路旁才能發現它們的踪影。[Seaga](https://seaga.com/) India 是在印度推動自動販賣機普及化的先驅。Seaga India的自動販賣機現在正在被新德里地鐵（Delhi Metro）、市政府、IT公園和各大工廠等所使用。 這些自動販賣機主要是售賣零食、飲料、避孕套和各式車票，偶爾也會售賣鑽石首飾或者有兌換貨幣的功能。 導致自動販賣機在印度無法普及化的原因有幾項。印度勞動成本低，人們寧可自行經營商店，比起自動販賣機這更符合經濟效益；當地的教育水平使人們不懂得使用自動販賣機，認為自動販賣機不方便；印度的自動販賣機的付款方式非常單一；塗鴉和粗暴的使用，加上缺乏保養維修，都導致自動販賣機無法正常運作。然而，自動販賣機的概念在印度仍然是處於初生階段，分析家相信自動販賣機在印度的使用率將會上升。 **荷蘭** 在荷蘭，售賣食物的自動販賣機非常普遍，人們把這些機器稱為 “automatiek” 或者 “automaat” 。這種販賣機通常是入牆式的，販賣機上的每一束都有各自的一個小玻璃窗，熱好的食物通常就被放在玻璃窗後展示。這些食物包括炸肉餅，炸肉丸和漢堡包。Automatiek 一般都可以在一些大型的建築裡見到，比如說地鐵站或者購物街，裡面通常是負責售賣各種不適合放進普通自動販賣機裡的食物和飲料。販賣機後就是一個廚房，煮好的食物會直接放進販賣機裡讓人透過玻璃窗選擇。 有的 Automatiek 會提供座位供顧客使用。有時候 Automatiek 會建在室外的地方，因此座位也會是露天的。 **俄羅斯** 在蘇聯時期，自動販賣機在赫魯曉夫訪美後開始普及。在赫魯曉夫的命令下，許多類型的自動販賣機被發明。售賣汽水的自動販賣機在全國都十分人氣，這部販賣機會將汽水倒進顧客自備的玻璃容器裡，旁邊還設有清洗玻璃容器用的用具。 **南非** 在2012年，南非飲料公司 BOS Ice Tea 在開普敦安裝了一部以Twitter啟動的自動販賣機。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** >

Ohlen自行管理業務，並與當地單車店合作。Bikestock不僅提供零件，還有免費打氣泵，積極融入社區，致力於隨時解決騎手需求。 **Content:** [紐約](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/%E7%BA%BD%E7%BA%A6)被叫做“不夜城”不是沒有原因的：無論你在任何時候地點，你都能夠找到想要的東西，紐約市是一個充滿機遇的城市。城市的不眠，也意味著市民的不眠。紐約的街道就好比人體血液流走的血管，行人來回，騎單車的人也不例外。布魯克林就有一個專門的組織去看顧這些騎手。 Bikestock，以布魯克林為大本營，透過 單車維修自動販賣機 提供24小時的單車維修服務。 ![Bikestock Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Bikestock-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=300%2C159&ssl=1 "- Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")憑藉著布魯克林的4部自動販賣機和波士頓的2部自動販賣機，Bikestock贏得了不少騎手們的支持和感謝，感謝他們作為社區的一份子，為市民提供全天候的單車維修服務。 Bikestock是由 Joseph Huba 和 Matthew Von Ohlen 的騎手創辦的。 > 我們總是嘗試積極融入騎手社區裡。不少市民對我們的支持都是無價的，他們樂於提供真誠的建議，像是有什麼需求，或者服務周到與否。 > > Huba 這部自動販賣機所售賣的單車零件種類非常多，而且也會提供免費的打氣泵和各種維修工具。“比如說打氣泵” Huba繼續說到，“這絕對能說明我們為什麼需要24小時全天營運的原因。我曾經就因為單車車胎沒氣，而只好選擇拖著單車乘搭其他的交通工具，或者找個地方把單車鎖起來，翌日再帶工具過來修理。” 24小時營運的概念其實是為了避免在單車修理店關門修業的時候，人們沒辦法修理自己的單車。Huba 和 Von Ohlen 兩人平時會在布魯克林綠點的 Calexico 工作，後者就曾經將一篇關於單車修理自動販賣機Bike Fixation 的新聞報導分享了給住在雙子城的媽媽看。Von Ohlen的媽媽看後就認為這盤生意在紐約絕對能火，於是就開始支持鼓勵 Huba 和兒子兩人的念頭。 Huba 和 Von Ohlen 是 Bikestock 唯二的員工。由於他們的生意並沒有太多合作夥伴，因此許多日常營運都是由他們自行處理。“我就要負責修理和保養這些自動販賣機，”Huba說到，“例如今天早上我就要幫販賣機補貨，還要為零錢不夠的販賣機補充零錢。” 而Bikestock為了向顧客提供更全面的服務，他們也會和一些小型單車公司合作：“我們和本地的單車店之間的合作非常成功。Road Runner 就跟我們的關係非常要好，他們在洛杉磯紮根，在當地很受歡迎；Mer也是，他們出產的東西幾乎所有的騎手都在用。”Huba說到。 現在Bikestock已經發展到擁有自己的網絡商店了，裡面除了提供他們販賣機裡售賣的所有貨物以外，還能夠提供一些比較大型、特別的商品，像是Mer出產的背包。 就跟機場看見的那些售賣各種高級產品的自動販賣機一樣，Huba意識到其實我們可以利用自動販賣機來售賣各式各樣不同的產品，選擇可謂非常的廣。而Bikestock所提供的服務正正是體現了自動販賣機的這點好處，Huba希望公司的自動販賣機能繼續在騎手社區裡發揮自己的價值。

運動，設計了一種只接受電池的自動販賣機 “Think Machine”。此項目旨在促進電池回收，減少廢棄電池對環境的影響。民眾可以用廢電池換取商品，鼓勵年輕人重視環保問題。首月已有約8000顆廢電池被回收，顯示出良好的成效。 **Content:** [Volkswagen](https://www.vw.com.hk/en.html) 和 [DDB Russia](https://www.ddb.ru/) 兩家公司合作舉辦 **“Think Blue”** 運動，提出了一種新的自動販賣機貨幣 – 電池。這個構思主要是希望提供更多方便的電池回收機會，減少廢棄電池對環境造成破壞。這種 電池回收自動販賣機 被稱為 **“Think Machine”**, 它只接受電池作為貨幣，並不接受紙幣硬幣。“Think Machine” 放置在莫斯科的各個地方，包括著名的 Flacon Design Factory。民眾可以透過這台自動販賣機以廢棄電池進行交易，再把憑據帶到當地的社區商店換取物品。一般來說，兩顆電池可以換到一顆壓力球，四顆可以換到一瓶水，六顆則可換到一件環保T恤。 --- 關於廢棄電池的處理一直是一個異常困擾的問題，因為單單是一顆電池便足以污染20平方米的土地。而在俄羅斯，像莫斯科這些大城市，當地年均的電池和儲電器廢棄量便已經達到了可怕的1500萬個。然而面對這個情況，許多年輕人都不屑一顧。 Volkswagen 和 DDB Russia 這兩家公司便是希望透過這個構思，重點鼓勵年輕人關注該問題，並作出貢獻。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/%E4%B8%8B%E8%BC%89.jpg?resize=251%2C201&ssl=1 "下載 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")“Think Blue” 便完美利用了 Volkswagen 和 DDB Russia 的環保構思，在維持環境可持續發展的大前提下，將這種特殊的自動販賣機推廣向民眾，提供更方便的回收途徑。Volkswagen 在背後進行了各方面的支援，以助達到理想的成果。

是一款獨特的自行車修理自動販賣機，提供各種單車零件和修理工具，並用航空鋼絲繩防止工具被盜。這樣，騎單車的人在爆胎或故障時能夠方便地獲取所需零件並進行修理，無需前往修理店。此外，該公司還推出了零件回收機，支持環保。 **Content:** 不少騎單車的人應該都遇到過這種情況：半路上，單車因為爆胎而騎不動了，而且最近的修理店在短時間內根本沒辦法到達……遇到這種情況，大部分人只能選擇慢慢將壞掉的單車拖回家，或者將單車鎖在某處尋求支援，畢竟一般人都不會帶著修理單車的工具出門。而這種處理手段不僅費力，還有可能導致你的單車被盜。這就是為什麼 “Bike Fixation” 單車修理自動販賣機 的概念會出現。

**Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在日本，越來越多的自動販賣機安裝了AED（自動體外心臟去顫器），這對於緊急救治至關重要。根據《日本時報》的報導，這一改進源於2004年通過的法例，致力於提高民眾的急救能力。設置AED的自動販賣機不僅方便人們找到急救設備，還有助於節省空間，並且消防局提供免費的使用教學。 **Content:** 大家在日本旅行的時候，有沒有發現某些自動販賣機多了一個東西，卻不知道是什麼來的呢？原來 AED 自動售賣機 内 AED 這個東西，是隨時可以用來拯救生命的好工具，而且每個人都應該學習怎樣使用它！ --- 在《日本時報》中由 Alice Dordenker 所撰寫的文章提到，現在日本大部分的自動販賣機都已經裝上了AED（**自動體外心臟去顫器**）。她在文中稱讚道：「**日本這種非常有創意的想法使自己成為在AED裝置配置上數一數二的國家，相比起數年前的日本，這是一個非常顯著的進步。」** ![AED自動販賣機](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Vending-Machine-with-AED-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1365&ssl=1 "AED自動販賣機Vending-Machine-with-AED - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")設有ＡＥＤ工具的自動售賣機 圖 タビログ文章指出，日本在2004年7月通過“**外行人也能使用AED裝置**” 的法例後，日本AED裝置配置的數目大幅上升。日本心血管疾病專家三田村秀雄（みたむら ひでお）指出，日本光是在2006年便新增了 45,000部 AED 裝置。 Alice Dordenker 認為日本通過該法例的原因是有鑑於近年不少人因為缺乏及時的急救措施而不治身亡。當中最為日本人所知的是在2002年9月發生的一起事故。當時正在練習壁球的日本皇室成員[高園宮憲仁親王](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E5%9C%93%E5%AE%AE%E6%86%B2%E4%BB%81%E8%A6%AA%E7%8E%8B)（たかまどのみや のりひとしんおう）突然因為心室顫動導致心衰竭而倒下，雖然救護人員在8分鐘之後便趕到，對憲仁親王進行急救，但最終還是沒辦法救活憲仁親王。 **設置AED裝置的好處** 文章中還列舉了當配置有AED裝置的自動販賣機普及化後，這意味人們將更清楚急救道具的所在位置，加上自動販賣機分佈的密集程度，AED裝置也更加容易被找到。此外，將AED裝置配置在自動販賣機上也能夠節省個別安裝AED裝置的空間，無需獨立配置。而這些自動販賣機為了防止盜竊，在使用AED裝置時會響起警鐘。 --- **學習使用AED裝置** 現在日本的消防局會按時開辦AED裝置使用教學的免費課程，當然，這並不是強迫性的。而為了保障自己和他人的安全，學會使用AED裝置也是十分重要的。大家可以參考以下的教學示範。（請注意，以下的教學僅供參考，歡迎大家參加專業的救急課程，學習更全面的救人技巧。）

Gabriel說購買樣本後不僅能觀察到其他人的DNA樣本，產品上還會附有一條提取DNA的視頻鏈接。 上年，這部販賣機被放置在了紐約的一個美術館。Gabriel回憶了一下當時遊客們看到這部販賣機時的反應：「他們認為銷售人類基因是一件非常噁心的事，有的甚至還覺得很可怕。」Gabriel說到，「他們之所以覺得可怕是因為這些樣本居然會被售賣，而且還能用在犯罪現場找證據。」 Gabriel將DNA和電子訊息的私隱權進行了比較，他認為現代的智能手機也在做和生物科技同樣的事：智能手機每天都在拿取我們的個人資料，然後出售給其他公司使用，這和將我們的DNA樣本出售給製藥公司的做法幾乎沒有區別。這就是Gabriel嘗試利用這部自動販賣機引起的社會話題 – DNA 私隱權。 其中一個最具道德、法律爭議性的DNA私隱權事件就非海莉耶塔·拉克斯（Henrietta Lacks）事件莫屬了。在1951年，當這位美國婦女正在進行子宮頸癌的療程時，她部分的健康細胞就在沒經她本人許可的情況下被提取走了。這些細胞其後就一直被研究人員培養著，期間就協助了脊髓灰質炎疫苗和愛滋病的研究，此外還涉及癌症和輻射中毒的研究上。 海莉耶塔的細胞至今仍在被用於各種生物研究上，命名為「[海拉細胞](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E6%8B%89%E7%BB%86%E8%83%9E)（Hela Cells）」。 1990年一件涉及美國市民 John Moore 和 UCLA 醫學中心的官司便曾經將 DNA 私隱權的話題帶到了新聞頭條上。當時正在進行白血病治療的 John Moore 便在沒經許可之下被提取了DNA樣本。Gabirel 對於當時最高法院的判決表示失望：「當時最高法院的判決是，被一個人所丟棄的個人細胞組織並不屬於個人財產，而且可以被用作商業用途。我覺得這很荒謬，將來這些涉及個人私隱的生物科技將能夠很輕鬆地獲取並複製我們體內的資訊，這將引起一籃子的人權問題。」 (資料來源: Dezeen) DNA 自動販賣機 TED TALK --- ###

賑災自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/賑災自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 311大地震後，日本東部地區增設了用於提供免費飲料和公佈災難公告的賑災自動販賣機。這些機器的數量從6000部增至8000部，市民在災難中可無需付費獲得飲料。可口可樂率先設立這些機器，並捐贈大量飲料，以支持受災民眾。專家認為，賑災自動販賣機也能提醒人們提高防災意識。 **Content:** [日本311大地震](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E5%B9%B4%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%9D%B1%E5%8C%97%E5%9C%B0%E6%96%B9%E5%A4%AA%E5%B9%B3%E6%B4%8B%E8%BF%91%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87) 後，在東日本新增了不少用於提供免費飲料和公佈災難公告的 賑災自動販賣機. 據報，這種自動販賣的出現主要是由於當地直轄市希望能以最低的開支大幅增加市內的應災儲備。災難發生時，身上沒有錢包，看著近在咫尺的自動販賣機有飲料可提供，是多麼的令人鼓舞啊！ --- 截至２０１８年１１月，日本全國２１３萬台自動售賣機中就有７萬台備有「緊急應對災害模式」，市民不用付錢便可以獲得機內的飲料或食物。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/11657498_1466611793651073_1172488301_n1.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 "- Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")其實日本賑災自動販賣機並不是什麼稀有的機器。位於崎玉桶川市的可口可樂樽裝公司於2003年3月便在上尾市政府辦公室內安裝了日本首部賑災自動販賣機。此外，飲料的生產商也希望能夠建立一個有社會責任感的公司形象，成為這種免費自動販賣機出現的另外一個原因。 然而有專家卻指出，自動販賣機本身有數百公斤的重量，萬一發生地震的話，自動販賣機的倒下將會對人身安全造成巨大的威脅。針對這點，相關廠家已經在研究對策防止類似事件發生。 311地震發生後，可口可樂駐日公司便將設置在地鐵站和其他位置合共400部的自動販賣機轉為賑災用，在自動販賣機裡配置電池供市民使用。之後更將公司 88,000 個飲料產品捐出，供因餘震影響而沒辦法回家的市民飲用。災難結束後，可口可樂公司受到了不少感激的言語：**“在大冷天裡能喝上暖暖的飲料實在是太好了！”** ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/1-610-205-677391cd.rendition.584.196.jpg?resize=584%2C196&ssl=1 "1-610-205-677391cd.rendition.584.196 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")此後，類似的賑災自動販賣機由災難前的6000部增加到了災難後的8000部。可口可樂公司計劃在未來增添更多的賑災自動販賣機。 賑災自動販賣機的概念從此被其他飲料生產商所模仿。經過政府協商下，在大多數的情況，賑災自動販賣機都會被放置在學校或者體育館這些常用作避難的地方。 現在賑災自動販賣機這個項目正在日本穩定地發展著，向更多民眾免費提供災難時所需要的物品和公告。 神戶大學名譽教授室崎益輝（むろさき よしてる）是一個防災教育專家，他曾說過：「**賑災自動販賣機並不只是一部用作儲存應災飲料的機器，它同時也是一個隨時隨地警惕人民時刻要有防災意識的存在，因此政府和廠商應該合作增加更加多的賑災自動販賣機。」** --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** >

至於日本清酒和啤酒釀製的區別，主要是啤酒在澱粉轉換為糖，到糖發酵出酒精這兩個步驟是分開進行的。而日本清酒就跟其他米酒一樣，兩個過程是同時進行的。以上三者的酒精含量都不一樣。一般來說，紅酒的酒精含量是9%-16%，啤酒是3%-9%，而未經稀釋的日本清酒的含量則高達18%-20%，稀釋的日本清酒則有低於15%的。 **東京商店 場所：東京都墨田区横網1-3-20「-両国- 江戸NOREN」1FJ

Dubbed the “Wish Winter Wonderland Vending Machine,” it was the brand’s first-ever physical vending experiment, blending online bargain-hunting with IRL impulse buys. Open for a fleeting three days (December 16–18, 2021), it stocked 22 trendy gadgets and gifts “for 2022,” turning a high-traffic corner into a charitable surprise shop. All proceeds went to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, NYC’s anti-poverty powerhouse, amplifying the festive feel-good factor. ### ****How it worked**** - **The Setup**: A custom, co-branded kiosk at **4 Times Square (Broadway & 43rd Street)**—right in the heart of the Theater District. Shoppers scanned a touchscreen for selections, paid contactlessly via card (no cash), and watched items dispense like oversized gumballs. Daily restocking and COVID-compliant sanitization kept it humming. - **The Hook**: Each purchase doubled as a social media prompt—snap a pic, post with #WISH22 on Instagram or X (Twitter), and unlock extra donations from Wish and Nasdaq. It was pure viral bait in selfie-central Times Square. - **Why 2022?**: Timed for New Year’s resolutions and last-minute gifts, the machine teased “must-haves” mirroring Wish’s app deals: cheap, quirky tech under $20–$30. ****What Was Inside: 22 Gadgets for the New Year**** Curated for fun and utility, the lineup screamed “stocking stuffer”—all available on Wish.com for easy follow-up buys.

This was a limited-time stunt tying into the brand’s bubbly, Mediterranean vibe—perfect for forgetting your swimsuit and still hitting the waves. It wasn’t a permanent fixture but a clever pop-up that echoed the era’s experiential marketing trends. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Bikini-Vending-Machine.PNG?resize=296%2C447&ssl=1 "Bikini Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Bikini Vending Machine### **What It Was** - **Concept**: A custom vending machine stocked with summer essentials, but with a twist—no cash needed. Users “purchased” items by interacting with the machine (likely via simple prompts or social shares), getting complimentary gear to “shake up your summer.” It played on Orangina’s tagline of shaking the bottle for fizz, extending that energy to spontaneous beach adventures. - **Products**: - **Bikinis**: Lightweight, one-size-fits-most styles in vibrant, citrus-inspired colors (think orange accents nodding to the brand’s tangerine roots). - **Swim Trunks**: Matching men’s shorts for quick dips. - **Orangina Bottles**: Chilled cans or glass bottles of the signature sparkling orange drink to pair with your new look. - **Purpose**: To boost brand buzz during peak vacation season, encouraging social media shares and impulse “purchases.” It highlighted Orangina’s fun, freeing spirit—much like how the drink’s pulp adds texture to refreshment. ### **When and Where** - **Launch Date**: Rolled out in July 2009, timed for European summer heatwaves. It was a short-run activation (a few weeks), popping up at high-traffic spots to catch sun-seekers off-guard. - **Locations**: Primarily in France (Orangina’s home turf), at beaches like those in Nice or Cannes, and urban parks. Some reports hint at expansions to UK spots, but it stayed Euro-focused. - **How It Worked**: Approach the machine, select your item, and voila—free dispense! It was all about delighting users with zero barriers, turning a mundane vending moment into a mini-celebration. ### **Impact and Legacy** This machine went viral in ad circles for its whimsy, blending freebies with brand loyalty—much like modern influencer drops. It drew from the bikini’s atomic-test-inspired history (named after Bikini Atoll in 1946) but kept things light and fizzy. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hydrogen-Powered Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hydrogen-powered-vending-machine/) > [Ducks vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ducks-vending-machine/) > [Free sports Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/free-sports-vending-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Seal Vending Machine - DIY your seal](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/seal-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 6, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japanese seal vending machines blend tradition and technology, offering custom seals rapidly for official use, reflecting cultural significance. **Content:** Seal vending machines, or “inkan” vending machines, in Japan provide a fascinating example of how technology meets tradition. In Japan, personal seals known as “hanko” (判子) or “inkan” (印鑑) are used in place of or alongside signatures for official documents, contracts, banking, and other important transactions. These vending machines allow individuals to quickly create custom seals on demand. ### **Key Features** 1. **Customization**: Users can input their names either in Japanese kanji, hiragana, katakana, or even alphabets like English. Some advanced machines also offer design options, allowing users to select from various styles and fonts for their seals. 2. **Speed and Convenience**: Once the necessary information is entered, these machines can produce a seal within minutes. This quick turnaround is particularly useful for those who need a seal unexpectedly or cannot wait for a traditional shop to make one. 3. **Types of Seals**: The machines typically offer different types of seals, including wooden, plastic, or rubber stamps. The choice of material can depend on the intended use, with higher quality materials often recommended for more official purposes. 4. **Payment Options**: Modern seal vending machines support various payment methods, including coins, banknotes, credit cards, and sometimes mobile payments, making them accessible to a wide range of users. 5. **Placement Locations**: These machines are strategically placed in locations such as stationery stores, shopping malls, post offices, and government buildings where there is high foot traffic and potential need for immediate seals. 6. **User Interface**: Featuring intuitive interfaces, often with touch screens, these machines guide users through the process step by step, from entering their name to selecting the type of seal and completing the purchase. ### **Cultural Significance and Usage** - **Cultural Practice**: The use of personal seals is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and is seen as a formal and binding way to authorize documents. The availability of these vending machines reflects both the importance of this practice and the convenience expected in modern society. - **Practicality**: For foreigners living in or visiting Japan, needing a seal for opening bank accounts, signing rental agreements, or other official procedures, these machines can be incredibly practical. ### **Innovations and Trends** In recent years, some companies have expanded the capabilities of these machines by incorporating more sophisticated technologies.

It allows for the sale of products without the need for a human attendant. Vending machines can be found in various locations including schools, offices, hospitals, and public spaces. ### **Step 1: Load the vending machine** Prior to operation, a vending machine must be stocked with the products it will dispense to consumers. These products are often supplied by the vending machine supplier, who buys them wholesale and then sells the product at a retail price. Vending machines typically have specialized keys that a small business owner can use to access the inside. Fill each display with product and make sure the products do not become inter-tangled with the vending mechanism. ### **Step 2: Test the vending machine** To ensure the machine is properly loaded and ready to dispense, select one or several products and use both coin and paper money to pay for the items. Vending machines measure coins and read paper money. Each machine differs slightly, but in general, it identifies each coin with an electromagnetic field which measures thickness and diameter. Dollar bills are scanned with a laser, which transmits to a small computer that deciphers each denomination. It then calculates a balance and allows the consumer to make a choice of product. When the consumer chooses, electronic signals are relayed to a motor through an electronic console board which turns the spiral dispenser of the selected product. The machine then deducts from the balance the amount of the purchase. ### **Step 3: Collect the money** Vending machine providers generally do not allow a small business owner access to the money collection vault and reserve access to approved vending machine mechanics. These individuals visit on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis. The vending machine mechanic inspects the inside and outside of the machine for damage and regular maintenance. He then opens the money collection area and reconciles the money with the transaction log. Once accounted, the mechanic splits the proceeds from the sales with the business owner. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pizza Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pizza-vending-machine/) > [Lego Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/lego-vending-machine/) > [Fortune Telling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/fortune-telling-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Short Story Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/short-story-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 3, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Grenoble launched short story vending machines in 2015, promoting culture by providing free literature to enhance waiting experiences. **Content:** Grenoble, the innovative French city nestled in the Alps, made global headlines in 2015 by becoming the world’s first to install **short story vending machines**—a brilliant, eco-friendly way to inject culture into everyday waits. Dubbed “Distributeurs d’Histoires Courtes” (Short Story Dispensers), these sleek, screenless orange-and-black machines were a collaboration between the city’s Green Party mayor Éric Piolle and local startup **Short Édition**. Piolle, an anti-consumerist advocate who famously banned street ads in 2014, championed the project to foster “ties between the people and the city” by swapping mindless scrolling for bite-sized literature. ### ****What They Are**** - **The Setup**: Eight (later expanded to 14) machines dotted across Grenoble’s seven square miles—in train stations, city hall, libraries, the tourism office, museums, and even social centers. They’re like slim, futuristic cylinders (about the size of a tall trash can) with no screens or ads—just three simple buttons. - **How It Works**: Press a button for your wait time: - **1 minute**: A micro-flash fiction or poem. - **3 minutes**: A quick tale with a twist. - **5 minutes**: A fuller short story. No coins needed—it’s free! The machine randomly selects and prints the story on narrow, receipt-like thermal paper (BPA-free, no ink or cartridges, zero waste). Stories fold neatly into your pocket or wallet for later. - **The Content**: Pulled from Short Édition’s massive digital library—over 100,000 submissions from 6,800+ authors (including pros like Xavier Bray and amateurs). Genres span romance, sci-fi, humor, horror, and poetry. Winners from writing contests get featured, and popular ones cycle in based on reader votes. Classics like Shakespeare or Virginia Woolf sometimes pop up too. - **The Tech**: Print-on-demand innovation ensures freshness; the randomness adds serendipity (no genre selection—it’s the surprise that hooks you). ### ******Why It Rocked****** **Impact**: The Grenoble pilot proved a hit, inspiring global spread—now 600+ machines in France, the US (e.g., San Francisco’s Café Zoetrope), Canada, and airports like Paris’s Charles de Gaulle. By 2025, they’ve printed over 13 million stories, earning spots in CES showcases and features in The New Yorker and The Atlantic. It’s boosted short fiction’s relevance, proving “the short story shakes you up” in snack-sized doses. **Engagement**: Commuters, tourists, and locals went wild—machines dispensed millions of stories, turning “dead time” (bus stops, queues) into delightful escapes. One user in a Guardian piece called it “nibbling fiction instead of snacks.” Videos show folks grinning at their scrolls, sparking chats and shares. **Brand Tie-In**: Born from a eureka moment in front of a snack machine (co-founder Christophe Sibieude wondered: “Why not literature?”), it combats digital distraction while promoting indie writers. Short Édition started as a mobile-optimized publisher in 2011, with 141,000+ subscribers. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/France-Short-Story-Vending-Machines.jpg?resize=755%2C381&ssl=1 "Short Story Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Hospital’s library book vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hospital-library-book-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Drinks Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/drinks-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 6, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machines offers high-quality, energy-efficient machines with advanced features to enhance customer experience and functionality. **Content:** Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machines is committed to provide the best quality vending machines with high product specifications, energy efficiency and functionality.

These machines have become increasingly prevalent in response to heightened public health concerns and the need for readily available personal protective equipment (PPE). Here are some key aspects and benefits of mask vending machines: ### ******Benefits:****** 1. **Convenience**: Provides quick and easy access to masks for people needing them while out in public places. 2. **Health and Safety**: Helps promote public health by ensuring that masks are readily available in high-traffic areas where maintaining hygiene is crucial. 3. **Accessibility**: Can be placed in various locations such as airports, train stations, shopping malls, schools, and hospitals, making it easy for people to acquire masks wherever they are. 4. **Variety**: Often offers different types of masks (e.g., surgical masks, N95 respirators, cloth masks) to meet diverse needs and preferences. 5. **Cost-Effective Solution**: Allows individuals to purchase masks as needed without having to buy in bulk or search for stores selling them. 6. **Reduced Contact**: Many modern mask vending machines accept contactless payments (like credit cards or mobile payments), reducing physical contact and enhancing safety. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Mask-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 "Mask Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")### ******Features:****** - **Payment Options**: Typically supports multiple payment methods including cash, credit/debit cards, and mobile payments. - **Display and Selection**: Machines usually have a display screen showing available mask options, allowing users to select their preferred type. - **Sanitization Options**: Some advanced models may also include hand sanitizer dispensers or UV light sanitization features for added protection.

At first glance, the pairing seems surreal: customers browsing used winter tires or waiting for wheel alignments can, with the press of a button, order a steaming bowl of *kake udon* or chilled *zaru soba*. Yet this quirky fusion of **automotive utility and culinary comfort** is a testament to Japan’s unique retail culture—where convenience, local tradition, and unexpected hospitality often intersect in the most mundane of places. --- ### ****How It Works: Noodles on Demand**** The setup isn’t a single machine but a compact, self-contained **“noodle vending kiosk”**—a modern evolution of Japan’s classic *shokken* (meal ticket) system, upgraded with automated cooking technology. Here’s the process: 1. **Select your dish** on a bright touchscreen menu (options often include *kake udon*, *kitsune udon*, *tempura soba*, or *curry udon*). 2. **Pay via cash or contactless IC card** (e.g., Suica or PASMO). 3. **Wait 2–3 minutes** as the machine boils noodles, dispenses hot broth, and assembles your bowl behind a glass window. 4. **Retrieve your meal** from a heated compartment—complete with lid, chopsticks, and sometimes even a side of pickled ginger or *beni shōga*. The entire operation is **fully automated**, requiring no staff intervention—ideal for a tire shop where food service isn’t the core business, yet customer comfort clearly is. --- ### ****Why Here? The Japanese Logic of “Omotenashi” (Hospitality)**** In many countries, a tire store might offer only a vending machine with coffee and candy bars. But in Japan, even utilitarian spaces embrace **omotenashi**—a deep-rooted spirit of thoughtful hospitality. For truck drivers, mechanics, or weekend DIYers spending hours waiting for service, a hot bowl of udon isn’t just a snack—it’s a moment of warmth and normalcy. Moreover, **Sagamihara**—a city straddling urban convenience and rural charm in Kanagawa—has strong ties to traditional food culture. Local soba made from Shinshu buckwheat or thick Sanuki-style udon from neighboring regions are familiar comfort foods, making them natural choices for automated service. --- ### ****A Nod to Retro, Powered by Modern Tech**** While the concept echoes Japan’s **Showa-era ticket vending machines**, this kiosk represents their 21st-century successor: **AI-controlled boilers, precise broth dispensers, and food-safety sensors** ensure consistency and hygiene. Yet the design often pays homage to the past—warm wood-tone panels, minimalist typography, and the soft *ding* of completion evoke nostalgia even as robotics do the work. Some machines even display the **origin of ingredients** (“Made with Hokkaido wheat flour” or “Broth simmered 12 hours”)—blending transparency with automation. --- ### ****More Than a Meal—It’s a Cultural Quirk**** The **Used Tire Mart Sagamihara Store’s noodle corner** has become a minor internet sensation among Japanese “vending machine hunters” and food tourists seeking **unexpected culinary moments**. It embodies a uniquely Japanese truth: **excellence in service can appear anywhere—even between stacks of used tires**. So next time you’re getting your alignment checked in Kanagawa, don’t be surprised if your wait ends not with a stale cookie, but with a perfectly steaming bowl of udon—proof that in Japan, **noodles are never far away, no matter where you are**. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Ramen-Noodle-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=450%2C470&ssl=1 "Ramen Noodle Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) > [Banana Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/banana-vending-machine/) > [Curry Rice Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/curry-rice-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Cosmetic Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmetic-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A cosmetic vending machine in Hong Kong offers essential beauty products, addressing travellers' needs for convenience and quality. **Content:** Vending Machine are usually synonymous with four finger KitKats and watered down hot drinks.

But the foreign cosmetics were so expensive that only the expatriates and a handful of affluent families could afford them. Seeing an opportunity in the mass market, a young entrepreneur named Fung Fook Tien launched Two Girls through his company Kwong Sang Hong (KSH) in 1898. ![Two_Girls_cosmetic_Hong_Kon](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Two_Girls_cosmetic_Hong_Kon.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 "Vending Machine Hong Kong Cosmetics (Side) - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")There were different stories on how the Two Girls brand came into being. According to one version, Fung saw two beautiful women in street and found the inspiration. Another version said, an angel appeared in his dream and told him two girls would bring him fortune. The prediction came true! Women loved Two Girls: the prices were 10 times lower than the imported cosmetics but the quality was comparable. “Mr Fung aimed for the highest standard. All materials were imported from Britain and France,” explained Sue Chan, assistant Sales and Marketing manager of KSH. Two Girls cosmetics were so popular that the products were often sold out in one day. In 1912, Two Girls already had 20 outlets in China and three in Southeast Asia. The stunning success of Two Girls tempted many into the cosmetics business. There were also cases of counterfeits and deliberate imitations. Two Girls had to go to court to resolve the dispute. “Two Girls is a forerunner in Hong Kong’s intellectual property rights protection history,” said Chan. In feudal society, women were not allowed to go out and suitable models were impossible to find. The “women” featured on the early Two Girls labels or advertisements were actually men disguised in women. The practice didn’t end until the 1920s. Real women or not, Two Girls had been the ideal for elegant beauty in old Hong Kong. Posters and calendars of Two Girls were such a popular household decoration that they left an indelible mark on the city’s collective memory. Today, old Two Girls advertisements are staple of historical exhibitions and the inspiration for many artists. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Alcohol Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/alcohol-vending-machine/) > [Fortune Telling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/fortune-telling-vending-machine/) > [Gold Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/gold-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Umbrella Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/umbrella-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Umbrella vending machines in Hong Kong offer convenient purchase options, leveraging high foot traffic and quick transactions with Octopus card payments. **Content:** Vending machines are normally associated with items such as drinks and snacks, but other, more novel uses do exist. If you think about it, umbrellas don’t require refrigeration, won’t expire, and (in this case) are a uniform size, which makes them easier to sell via vending machine. Umbrellas are a necessity purchase driven by weather conditions. Therefore, when it comes to buying one, most people do not have the luxury of brand loyalty. Often you don’t shop around for an umbrella. There is not many single store associated with umbrellas. If it’s raining and you don’t have one, you buy one! Umbrellas in Hong Kong can be dual use. During hot, sunny days it’s common to see people using umbrellas to block the sun. The vending machine in fact boasts that the umbrella cuts 90% of UV rays. Perhaps this also explains why the colors may prove popular – people want an umbrella to look good with their outfit and aren’t just using them as protection from the rain. Placing them in the MTR station is a smart idea. Not only is it a high foot traffic area, but it catches the potential consumer in the midst of their trip, offering them the opportunity to buy before they exit onto the street or on their way home. ### **Simplicity** Vending machines are best at simple transactions. In Hong Kong, their ease of use is aided by accepting the ubiquitous Octopus card. The Octopus is a payment system developed initially for transportation (trains, buses, trams, mini-buses and ferries) that has spread throughout the city. Places that accept Octopus range from Starbucks, McDonald’s, and 7-Eleven, to Hong Kong’s parking meters. Payment by Octopus means faster transactions with no fumbling for change. The majority of Hong Kong’s residents have an Octopus card and use them on a daily basis. Purchasing an umbrella from the vending machine is extremely easy: first, touch your Octopus card to the designated area and next, select a color. That’s it! ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Umbrella-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=346%2C450&ssl=1 "Umbrella Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Mask Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mask-vending-machine/) > [Lego Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/lego-vending-machine/) > [Mount Fuji’s Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-mount-fuji/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A vending machine in Berlin sells €2 t-shirts but shows shocking labour conditions, prompting shoppers to reconsider their fashion choices. **Content:** **Watch the moment when shoppers offered the chance to buy the 2 Euro T-shirt from a vending machine.** High fashion at a bargain – that’s what savvy shoppers want, right? But if the production condition is poor, would you still snap up the bargain? A non-profit organisation named [Fashion Revolution](https://www.fashionrevolution.org/) has created a wonderful social experiment that has challenged people to reconsider how they shop for their clothes. They have set up a bright turquoise vending machine in Berlin that offers passers-by shirts for only 2 Euro but there was an unexpected catch. As the shoppers put their money into the vending machine, they have to first watch a video about the exploited sweatshop laborers that make cheap clothing possible. Shocking pictures from textile factories, where woman and children sew without a break, appear. The imagery is accompanied with the words: ‘People want fashion at a bargain but would they still buy it if they knew how it was made?’ ‘Meet Manisha, one of millions making our cheap clothing for as little as 13 cents an hour each day for 16 hours.’ ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Vending-Machine-2-Euro-T-Shirt-Social-Experiment.jpg?resize=880%2C457&ssl=1 "The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")And then the question: ‘Do you still want to buy this two euro T-shirt?’ flashes up. After 20 seconds, shoppers are given the options: ‘buy or donate? Nine out of ten decided against it.’ The final words of the video read: > People care when they know, help us to remind the world. Share this to start the fashion revolution! The video was released on April 24th, or Fashion Revolution Day. This day commemorates the collapse of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh in 2013, which killed more than 1,000 garment workers who had been making clothing for American Brands in unsafe conditions. The workers are often under-age, and most are also under-paid and overworked. Fashion Revolution wants to encourage people to start asking questions about their clothes, like where they were made and under what conditions they were made. ### **The fight against Child Labor** The Fight Against Child Labour --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine Supporting Education in Cambodia](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Book vending machine, Soar with reading](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/soar-reading-book-vending-machine/) > [Comic Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/comic-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Anger Release Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The Anger Release Vending Machine allows users to relieve anger by breaking pieces of China in a satisfying, interactive experience. **Content:** **Anger Release Vending Machine** is an interactive sculpture by [Yarisal and Kublitz](http://www.yarisalkublitz.com/) to experience the satisfying feeling when a piece of China breaks into million pieces!

A prize-winning baguette dispenser invented by French baker Jean-Louis Hecht not only offers hungry customers hot loaves at any time of the day or night but is bringing in the dough for fellow bakers who have invested in the machine. ![Baguette Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Baguette-Vending-Machine-in-France.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 "Baguette Vending Machine in France - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Hecht, who won the latest edition of the French Concours Lepine, an annual competition for unique inventions, said the idea of the “Pani Vending” machine came from his desire to spend the evenings with his family instead of being disturbed by eager customers asking for fresh bread at odd hours of the day, sometimes even when the bakery was closed. The process is simple: you pay and the machine then bakes a pre-cooked loaf and dispenses a hot baguette 30 seconds later. Hecht has already installed 20 machines in France and 4 in Russia. He said he hopes to sell thousands of machines throughout the world in the coming years. Vouching for the quality of the dispenser-made bread, Trix Ninot, a flight attendant from the Netherlands said the machine had made her life much easier than before. “In the beginning when we saw the machine it was a little bit strange because we were not used to seeing a machine. We want to go into the bakery to buy the bread. But the bread is very very good so when the bakery is closed, we take bread in the machine,” she said. Salam Azouni, a local construction worker, said the dispenser meant avoiding the queues outside the bakery. “In the evenings, we have no choice. And sometimes it’s quicker, we park, we put a coin, we take the baguette, it’s hot, it has the same taste, it’s the same thing,” he said. ### **Fun fact about Baguette** - According to a legend, it was Napoleon who asked for the baguette to have a long shape. This made it easier for his soldiers to carry their bread around down their pants while in the battlefield. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Build Your Own Fast Food Vending Machine with Lego](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/lego-vending-machine/) > [Salad Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salad-vending-machine/) > [Enhancing Patient Well-being with Library Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hospital-library-book-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Food for Dog Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/empty-bottle-food-for-stray-dog-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The Pugedon vending machine transforms plastic waste into dog food, promoting environmental responsibility and animal welfare in Turkey and beyond. **Content:** In a world where technology often prioritizes convenience over compassion, the **Pugedon vending machine** stands out as a heartwarming innovation that bridges environmental responsibility and animal welfare. Originating in **Turkey**, Pugedon is not your typical vending machine—it doesn’t accept coins or credit cards. Instead, it runs on **recycled plastic bottles** and rewards users with **dry dog food** to feed stray dogs. This elegant, purpose-driven kiosk represents a powerful idea: **waste can become nourishment**, and small acts of care can be scaled through smart design. --- ### ? **Origins: Born in a Nation That Cares for Strays** Pugedon was developed in **Turkey**, a country with a deep cultural and legal commitment to its millions of **street dogs**. Turkish law prohibits the removal or euthanasia of stray animals, and communities have long embraced feeding and caring for them. Recognizing both the **plastic waste crisis** and the **ongoing need to feed street dogs**, Pugedon’s creators designed a self-sustaining system that turns litter into lunch—without requiring money, apps, or infrastructure. --- ### ♻️ **How It Works: Simple, Smart, and Sustainable** The Pugedon machine operates on a beautifully straightforward principle: 1. **Insert an empty plastic bottle** (typically PET water or soda bottles) into the designated slot. 2. The machine **compacts or stores the bottle** in a secure internal bin. 3. Instantly, a small portion of **dry dog food or kibble** (about 10–20 grams) is dispensed into a tray below. 4. The user can **feed a nearby stray dog** or leave the food in a communal bowl. Some models also include a **water dispenser** for dogs, powered by condensation or manual refills, ensuring hydration alongside nutrition. --- ### ? **Global Reach and Recognition:** While rooted in Turkey, Pugedon has inspired similar projects across **Europe, South Korea, and India**. It has been featured in international media and sustainability forums as a model of **social innovation**. Though not yet widespread in North America or the UK, Pugedon’s concept has influenced other “eco-for-good” vending initiatives, proving that **vending technology can serve humanity—and its animal companions**. --- ### ?️**Design Philosophy: Transparency and Trust** Pugedon machines are intentionally **transparent**—both literally and symbolically. Users can see the bottles being collected and the food being dispensed, building trust in the system. Many units feature cheerful illustrations of dogs and slogans like: > **“Recycle a Bottle. Feed a Friend.”** This transparency also deters misuse and encourages community stewardship. --- In cities like **Istanbul** and **Ankara**, Pugedon machines have become beloved neighborhood fixtures—often surrounded by friendly strays and caring locals. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Food-for-stray-dog-Vending-Machine-2.jpg?resize=800%2C485&ssl=1 "Food for Stray Dog Vending Machine 2 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Food-for-stray-dog-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=929%2C528&ssl=1 "Food-for-stray-dog-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines Raising Awareness for Workplace Hazards](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/workplace-safety-vending-machine/) > [Anger Release Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Flat Shoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/flat-shoes-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A new vending machine by Ashley Ross and Lindsay Klimitz offers Rollasole flats, providing a comfy alternative to high heels for club-goers. **Content:** Many women will empathise with the scenario of struggling home in high heels that, after a night of dancing, are torture to walk in. Now, however, a new flat shoes vending machine presents an ingenious solution. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Flat-Shoe-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=945%2C537&ssl=1 "Flat-Shoe-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Ashley Ross, 25, and Lindsay Klimitz, 26 have bought the rights to manufacture and distribute Rollasole flats in clubs across the U.S. Soft and squishy, the shoes come out of the vending machine rolled up in a plastic cup and they’re also recyclable to ensure no one clutters up U.S. landfills with too many disposable shoes. The entrepreneurial pair are working on more diverse style choices, with an array of flats that feature gold studs, rhinestones, polka dots and leopard print, ensuring all outfits are catered for. Miss Klimitz said: ‘Both of us are not really people that would walk barefoot. I know a lot of girls are into walking barefoot – when they’re in just too much pain, they can’t take it. But we would literally suffer through the pain.’ Club girl or not, high heels are synonymous with sore feet, a universal truth among women. How long a girl can go before chucking them in for a comfier option varies, but Miss Ross concedes it’s about a couple of hours. She explained: ‘Two hours is the limit for a lot of girls. If you put a few drinks in them, probably one hour.’ Discipline, peer pressure and band aids have been the answer until now, and it appears that it’s not just girls who are happy about the introduction of the Rollasole vending machines. Club owners approve because girls who wear them stay out an average of 40 minutes later, according to a survey Miss Ross and Miss Klimitz commissioned. Guys like the shoes because it keeps girls out partying for the night. So far there are three Rollasole vending machines in Las Vegas, one in the Venetian Hotel in front of Tao nightclub, one in Vanity at the Hard Rock casino, and one at the Tropicana. Selling for $19.95 per pair, they beat having to bring a pair of flip-flops to a club, which one of the girls’ friends often does. Apparently other girls look at her with envy. Not wearing heels in the first place for a night of dancing would seem like an obvious answer, but as Miss Ross and Miss Klimitz both declare a ‘No’ in unison at the option, Rollasoles are clearly a better one. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Dirty Water Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dirty-water-vending-machine/) > [Literacy Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/literacy-vending-machine/) > [New Vending Machine Sells Meat](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/new-vending-machine-sells-meat-not-candy/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Comic Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/comic-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 8, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Comic book vending machines offer convenience, promote diverse content, reduce business costs, and support independent creators, enhancing market accessibility. **Content:** The set up of Comic book vending machines offer multiple benefits to both consumers and businesses. Here are some key advantages: 1. **Convenience**: Consumers can access comic books anytime, without needing to visit a traditional bookstore or wait for online deliveries. This is especially beneficial in high-traffic areas where people might be looking for quick entertainment. 2. **Exposure to New Content**: Vending machines can introduce readers to new and diverse comic titles they might not have encountered otherwise, potentially expanding their interests and the market reach of lesser-known comics. 3. **Cost-Effective for Businesses**: For businesses, these vending machines require less staff and overhead costs compared to running a full retail store, while still reaching comic enthusiasts and casual buyers alike. 4. **Flexible Placement:** They can be placed in a variety of locations including shopping malls, airports, train stations, and educational institutions, making them accessible to a wide audience. 5. **Promotional Tool**: Comic book vending machines can also serve as an effective promotional tool for new releases, special editions, or events. They provide a unique way to generate buzz and excitement around comic book launches. 6. ****Supports Independent Creators****: Smaller publishers and independent creators have an additional platform to distribute and sell their work, bypassing traditional barriers to entry. These benefits highlight how comic book vending machines can enhance accessibility, support various business models, and contribute positively to the comic book industry’s ecosystem. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) > [Onitsuka Tiger’s Innovative Trainer Vending Machine Launch](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/onitsuka-tiger-trainers-vending-machine/) > [Vending Machine in other countries](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machines-around-world/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Curry Rice Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/curry-rice-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's hot curry rice vending machines offer quick, convenient meals, showcasing the blend of tradition and modern technology, despite facing challenges. **Content:** Japan’s legendary vending machine culture—boasting over **4 million units** nationwide—extends far beyond drinks and snacks. Among its most fascinating innovations are **hot food vending machines**, including those that dispense **curry rice** (カレーライス, *karē raisu*), one of Japan’s most beloved comfort foods. ****The Concept: Hot, Ready-to-Eat Meals at the Push of a Button**** Unlike typical cold beverage or snack dispensers, **curry rice vending machines** are specialized **automated hot food kiosks**. They store freshly prepared or flash-frozen meals in temperature-controlled compartments and use built-in heating systems—often microwave or convection-based—to warm the dish just before dispensing. When a customer inserts cash or taps a contactless payment card, the machine: 1. Selects a sealed, compartmentalized meal tray (typically rice on one side, thick, savory curry with meat or vegetables on the other). 2. Heats the meal in seconds. 3. Delivers it through a slot, often with disposable chopsticks and a wet wipe. The entire process takes **under 30 seconds**, offering a full, hot meal without human interaction—ideal for late-night workers, travelers, or solo diners. ****Where You’ll Find Them**** These machines are **not as ubiquitous** as drink vendors but appear in strategic high-traffic or remote locations: - **Highway rest stops** (michi-no-eki or service areas on expressways) - **Rural train stations** with limited dining options - **University campuses** during exam periods - **Industrial zones** near factories with night shifts - **Convenience store parking lots** as meal extensions Brands like **JR East’s “EKIBEN” (station bento) vending machines** and private operators such as **Cocokara Fine** or **Tomen** have experimented with hot meal dispensers, including curry rice, nikujaga (meat and potato stew), and omurice (omelet rice). ### ****Why Curry Rice?**** Japanese curry rice—thicker, sweeter, and milder than Indian or Thai curry—has been a national staple since the Meiji era (late 1800s). It’s: - **Affordable** (typically ¥400–¥700, or $2.50–$5 USD) - **Filling and balanced** (carbs + protein + vegetables) - **Universally liked** across ages - **Easy to reheat** without losing texture Its popularity makes it a natural candidate for automated meal service. ### ****Challenges and Evolution**** Despite their ingenuity, hot food vending machines face hurdles: - **High maintenance costs** (refrigeration, heating, restocking) - **Limited shelf life** of fresh ingredients - **Competition from konbini** (24-hour convenience stores like 7-Eleven or FamilyMart), which offer similar meals at comparable prices with more variety As a result, many dedicated curry rice vending machines have **declined since the 2000s**. However, they’ve evolved into **multi-functional hot food kiosks** that rotate seasonal or regional dishes—sometimes including curry as a standard option. ### ****Cultural Significance**** The curry rice vending machine embodies core Japanese values: - **Omotenashi** (hospitality through seamless service) - **Efficiency and automation** - **Food safety and consistency** - **Respect for solo dining culture** It also reflects Japan’s unique ability to blend **tradition (homestyle curry) with cutting-edge technology**. ### ****Fun Fact**** In 2020, a company in Hokkaido launched a **fully robotic curry stand** that functions like a high-end vending machine—grinding spices, simmering sauce, and plating rice in real time. While not a classic vending machine, it shows how the spirit of automated curry lives on. --- ### ******In summary**:**** While no longer commonplace, the curry rice vending machine remains an iconic example of Japan’s commitment to convenience, culinary comfort, and technological innovation—proving that even a humble bowl of curry can be delivered with futuristic flair. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine Supporting Education in Cambodia](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Mindful Marketing: The Do Nothing Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [Art-O-Mat: Transforming Cigarette Machines into Art Dispensers](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmos-art-o-mat-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Car Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/car-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Carvana revolutionises car buying by creating a vending machine-like experience, reducing costs and improving convenience for customers. **Content:** Buying a car is a hellish process. An experience that assaults the nerves in such a way that it’s only rivaled by appointments with the dentist. But what if buying a car was easier than that? What if it was as easy as, say, a vending machine? ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Car-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 "Car Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")A few years ago, a company called Carvana move the car buying experience completely online: getting approved for and selecting financing, selecting a warranty, and signing the contract. This left customers with just one dealership interaction: choosing pickup or delivery. More often than not, Carvana customers were choosing pickup. Now, though, Carvana is adding some spice to that experience. > We knew that if \[customers\] chose to pick up the car we would save some money, and so we could invest that money in giving them a really, really great experience. > > Ernie Garcia, Carvana CEO The result? A five-story, fully-automatic vending machine building for cars. “The experience itself is exactly a vending machine experience,” Garcia says. “The customer even gets a customized, oversized coin that they drop into a slot.” The coin triggers a robotic arm, which goes up and grabs the car that the customer purchased online. When the car comes down, it’s transferred to another robot that drives the car down a hallway and parks it in a bay, where the customer receives their purchase. The best is that the overall cost will be lower in the long run. By employing fewer staff, leasing less acreage, and carrying fewer cars, Carvana drastically lowers the overhead. It also allows them to sell cars for up to $2,000 less than most dealerships. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Short Story Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/short-story-vending-machine/) > [Salad Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salad-vending-machine/) > [Holiday!

Saunders founded Farmer’s Fridge, which is a healthy vending machine that sells exclusively organic, restaurant-quality salads and snacks. This first of many kiosks was placed in a dreary food court and was an almost immediate hit. ![Salad Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Salad-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=610%2C458&ssl=1 "Salad Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The rustic-looking yet modern vending machine is made from reclaimed wood and is surrounded by real plants with a carpet of artificial grass. Every morning at 10 a.m., the kiosk is stocked with an array of fresh salads and snacks (mostly organic) prepared shortly before at a nearby kitchen. Excitingly, whatever is left at the end of the day gets donated to a local food pantry. Saunders envisioned the idea when he was traveling for his former corporate job and was burdened by not being able to obtain healthy, organic produce from popular fast food chains. He decided he needed to “be the change,” therefore, followed through with the plan to found Farmer’s Fridge. > My realization was that I could make fresh food and put it in a vending machine without adding any preservatives or other junk and it would taste good. We want everything to be in the running for ‘the best salad I ever had’. If it’s not that good, we’re not going to put it in there.” > > Saunders Farmer’s Fridge protects the quality and integrity of the food by staying away from items that don’t lend themselves to staying fresh and tasty in a refrigerated vending machine. That means there are no sandwiches, but plenty of salads and sides packed into recyclable plastic jars. The ingredients in each product are stacked in an order specifically intended to keep the salad fresh: greens on top, cheeses and water-retaining fruits on the bottom, nuts in the middle. The result is a diverse menu that ranges from “The Cheater,” a modified classic Cobb salad, to “The Junk Food Eraser,” a detox salad stuffed full of kale, quinoa, sprouts, fennel, blueberries and pineapple with a cider vinegar-lemons dressing on the side. Other items, such as lemon-pepper chicken tuna and tofu are also available. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [Screaming Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/screaming-vending-machine/) > [Mindful Marketing: The Do Nothing Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Insurance Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/insurance-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In the 1950s, flight insurance vending machines emerged at U.S. airports, reflecting both excitement and anxiety about air travel's risks. **Content:** In 1955, the concept of an **airline trip insurance vending machine** was not only real—it was a common and innovative feature at U.S. airports, reflecting the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the postwar era and the public’s mix of excitement and anxiety about flying. ![Insurance Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Insurance-Vending-Machines.jpg?resize=300%2C407&ssl=1 "Insurance Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Automatic airline insurance vending machine in waiting room of United Airlines GettyCarl Iwasaki### ****Context: The Rise of Air Travel in the 1950s**** During the 1950s, commercial aviation in the United States was booming. Airlines like Pan Am, TWA, and American Airlines were expanding their routes domestically and internationally, and new jetliners (like the soon-to-arrive Boeing 707) promised faster, more comfortable travel. However, flying was still perceived by many as risky—plane crashes, though statistically rare, received heavy media coverage, fueling public concern. To address this fear—and to offer peace of mind—**flight insurance** became a popular add-on for travelers. Unlike today’s comprehensive travel insurance policies, 1950s flight insurance was typically **accident-only coverage**, paying a lump sum (often $25,000 to $100,000) to beneficiaries in the event of death during the flight. ****The Vending Machine Solution**** Rather than purchasing insurance through an agent or at a ticket counter, passengers could buy it **moments before boarding** from a dedicated vending machine, usually located near the gate or in the terminal concourse. ****How it worked:**** - The machine resembled a sleek, mid-century kiosk—often chrome and enamel, with bold signage like “FLIGHT INSURANCE” or “AIR TRAVELERS INSURANCE.” - Passengers inserted coins (typically 25 cents to $1, depending on coverage amount and airline). - They filled out a small form (name, beneficiary) using a pen chained to the machine. - After payment, the machine dispensed a **paper policy**—a small, pre-printed certificate stamped with the passenger’s name, flight number, and coverage details. - The policy was valid only for that specific flight segment. These machines were frequently operated by **insurance companies** like Travelers Insurance, Mutual of Omaha, or Aetna, often under contract with the airport or airlines. ****Cultural Significance**** These vending machines became **iconic symbols of the jet age**—a blend of modern convenience, risk management, and the era’s trust in automation. They appeared in films, advertisements, and newsreels as emblematic of the “modern traveler.” However, their prominence also highlighted a contradiction: the very act of buying last-minute life insurance underscored the perceived danger of air travel. By the 1960s, as air safety improved and credit cards became widespread (allowing broader travel insurance purchases), the need for gate-side vending machines declined. ****Legal and Regulatory Change**** A major turning point came in **1975**, when the U.S. Department of Transportation **banned the sale of flight insurance at airports**, citing concerns that it **unduly heightened passenger anxiety**. The rule effectively ended the era of the flight insurance vending machine in the U.S. ****Legacy**** Today, these machines are collector’s items and museum artifacts—symbols of a bygone era when flying was glamorous, slightly perilous, and required a quarter for peace of mind. Surviving examples can be found in aviation museums like the **Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum** or the **Museum of Flight** in Seattle. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Reese’s Halloween Candy Converter: A Sweet PR Success](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/reeses-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Game Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-game-vending-machine/) > [Methadone Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/methadone-vending-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Pasta Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pasta-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** NudelStop was an early German pasta vending machine concept, delivering hot pasta quickly but ultimately had limited success and rollout. **Content:** NudelStop was an early, innovative pasta vending concept from Germany, launched around 2010 as a “Pasta Kochautomat” (pasta cooking automaton) under the Cucina2000 brand. It promised to deliver hot, fresh pasta “al dente” in just 90 seconds, making it a precursor to today’s automated food kiosks. However, it appears to have been a short-lived project with limited rollout. ### ******Why It Matters in Pasta Vending History****** NudelStop predated the post-pandemic surge in food vending machines, which exploded for contactless convenience. While it didn’t scale, it inspired similar European efforts, like Italy’s Pastitaly dispensers that pair hot pasta with vending controls. In contrast, today’s machines focus on chilled, take-home kits rather than instant hot meals. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Restaurant Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/restaurant-vending-machines/) > [Ultraman Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ultraman-vending-machine/) > [Inside the World’s Largest Luxury Car Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Caviar Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/caviar-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Beverly Hills Caviar, owned by Kelly Stern and Brian Scheiner, innovatively sells caviar via patented vending machines, catering to enthusiasts. **Content:** The business, Beverly Hills Caviar, is owned by husband and wife team Kelly Stern and Brian Scheiner, who both come from long lines of Eastern European “caviar families.” The idea of selling caviar from a vending machine may seem offbeat, but Stern says it’s a business model that works. While the machines definitely attract a curious audience, there are also caviar aficionados, including chefs, who come with their credit cards in hand. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Caviar-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=640%2C360&ssl=1 "Caviar Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")“We actually patented the technology because it was so time-intensive and we needed so many engineers just to get it done right,” says Stern. The machine has security measures with three cameras as the daily inventory adds up to around $50,000. Caviar emerges from the vending machine in a specially designed insulated box, which provides a window of about three hours to get it back in a fridge or onto your plate. > By the time you get home it’s usually just perfect and you can eat it, and it will be the tastiest thing you ever had. > > Stern --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Water vending machine in Mumbai](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/water-vending-machine/) > [M&M’s Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mms-vending-machine/) > [Computer Memory Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/computer-memory-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Screaming Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/screaming-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Farnham Ale & Lager's "Scream Machine" transformed frustration into free beer, creatively engaging festival-goers through an interactive, viral marketing campaign. **Content:** Farnham Ale & Lager, a Quebec-based microbrewery known for its bitter IPAs and lagers, launched a memorable experiential marketing campaign in 2015 called the “Scream Machine.” This stunt perfectly tied into the brand’s theme of “bitterness,” turning frustration into a fun, interactive way to score free beer. Here’s the breakdown: ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screaming-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C582&ssl=1 "Screaming-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")### **What It Was** - **The Setup**: At the Festibière de Québec beer festival, the brewery installed a custom vending machine stocked with cans of their beers. - **How It Worked**: No coins or cards needed—instead, users screamed into a sensor-equipped hole on the machine to “pay.” A sign on the front read something like: “Vent your frustrations… and your bitterness will be replaced with good.” The louder and more intense the scream (measured by acoustic sensors for loudness and “roughness”), the more bitter the beer dispensed as a reward. - Quiet scream? You might get a milder lager. - Primal yell? Score a hoppy, extra-bitter IPA. - **The Tech**: Engineered with sound sensors to detect decibel levels and frequency variations (screams spike at 30–150 Hz, way above normal speech), it projected the screams outward to draw crowds and amplify the chaos. - **Agency Behind It**: Created by the Canadian agency Lg2, with production from Nova Movie and sound design by Studio Expression. It was an ambient/outdoor campaign that went viral through festival buzz and social shares. ### **Why It Rocked** **Impact**: The campaign earned accolades in creative circles (e.g., featured on Ads of the World) and inspired similar scream-based activations worldwide, like a 2025 San Miguel stunt in the Philippines. It’s a prime example of how experiential marketing turns a simple vending machine into an emotional, shareable moment. **Engagement**: Festival-goers from young adults to grandparents unleashed epic screams, creating a spectacle that pulled in bystanders. Videos show people howling like banshees, laughing hysterically, and high-fiving over their “bitter” prizes. **Brand Tie-In**: It cleverly played on the double meaning of “bitter”—emotional frustration swapped for the brewery’s signature bitter brews. As one description put it: “I scream, you scream, we all scream for beer.” ****Put on some headphones before you watch It!**** --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Buzzwords Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/buzzwords-vending-machine/) > [Anger Release Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machine/) > [Screaming Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/screaming-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Gold Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/gold-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The gold vending machine in Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace dispenses pure gold products, showcasing luxury and the UAE's wealth and innovation. **Content:** One of the most iconic symbols of luxury and opulence in the modern world is the **gold vending machine** located in the **Emirates Palace Hotel** in **Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates**.

These compact, automated kiosks dispense reusable tote bags—often made from eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, or jute—at the push of a button, offering a practical alternative to single-use plastic bags. ****Origins and Purpose**** The concept of the tote bag vending machine gained traction as cities worldwide implemented bans or fees on plastic shopping bags. Retailers and municipalities sought accessible, immediate solutions for consumers who forget their reusable bags at home. Rather than reverting to disposable options, shoppers can now purchase a stylish, durable tote within seconds from a strategically placed vending machine—commonly found near grocery stores, transit hubs, farmers’ markets, or shopping districts. ****How It Works**** Tote bag vending machines operate much like traditional vending machines but with an eco-twist: - **Product Display**: Clear panels showcase a variety of designs, colors, and materials. - **Payment Options**: Accept cashless payments via credit/debit cards, mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), or QR code scans. - **Instant Dispensing**: After payment, a compartment opens or a bag drops into a retrieval tray. - **Smart Inventory**: Many units include IoT sensors that alert operators when stock is low or maintenance is needed. ****Sustainability Impact**** Each reusable tote bag distributed through these machines has the potential to replace hundreds—if not thousands—of single-use plastic bags over its lifetime. Many operators partner with environmentally certified suppliers, ensuring bags meet standards for low-impact production and ethical labor practices. Additionally, a portion of proceeds often supports local environmental initiatives or community clean-up efforts. ****Design and Branding Opportunities**** Beyond utility, tote bag vending machines serve as **mini billboards** and **brand activation tools**. Retailers, artists, and nonprofits can collaborate to feature limited-edition designs—promoting everything from fashion lines to climate awareness campaigns. In this way, the machines transform a routine transaction into an expression of identity and values. ### ****Real-World Examples**** - **Baggu + CIRQ**: In select U.S. cities, eco-friendly brand Baggu installed vending machines offering their signature nylon totes made from recycled materials. - **Totters (UK)**: A startup that placed solar-powered tote vending units in London supermarkets, with bags printed by local artists. - **“Bag Share” Kiosks in Japan**: Integrated into train stations, allowing commuters to rent or buy totes for impromptu shopping trips. ****Future Outlook**** As smart city infrastructure expands and circular economy principles gain momentum, tote bag vending machines are poised to become standard fixtures in sustainable urban ecosystems. Future iterations may include **return-and-reuse programs**, **biodegradable bag options**, or even **AI-driven style recommendations** based on user preferences. In essence, the tote bag vending machine is more than a clever gadget—it’s a symbol of how small, thoughtful innovations can collectively drive significant environmental change while meeting the demands of modern, mobile lifestyles. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Assassination-Classroom-Tote-Bag-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 "Assassination Classroom Tote Bag Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Emergency Contraception in Vending Machines: A New Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-emergency-contraception/) > [How the Dirty Water Campaign Raised Millions for Clean Water](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dirty-water-vending-machine/) > [Creative Vending Machine Dispenses Love and Humor](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/boyfriend-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Twitter Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Seeds of Change launched the #PledgeToPlant campaign in 2014, using a social media vending machine to promote sustainable gardening. **Content:** Seeds of Change, the organic seed and food brand under Mars, Inc., launched a clever social media activation in 2014 called the #PledgeToPlant campaign. It featured a Twitter-connected vending machine designed to encourage gardening pledges and community greening, tying into the brand’s mission of sustainable food and seed-saving. This was an early example of “tweet-for-rewards” tech, blending offline events with real-time online engagement to boost brand awareness and user-generated content. ****What It Was**** - **The Setup**: A custom vending machine placed at farmers’ markets and expos, like the Hollywood Farmers’ Market in Los Angeles (March 16 and 23, 2014) and the FamilyFarmed expo in Chicago. - **How It Worked**: No cash required—instead, users scanned a unique code from the machine, tweeted a “Pledge to Plant” (e.g., committing to plant seeds in a community space) using #PledgeToPlant and @SeedsOfChange, and the machine detected the tweet via Twitter’s API. It then dispensed a bag of certified organic seeds (like basil, tomatoes, or herbs) plus a coupon for Seeds of Change food products. - If you couldn’t attend in person, tweeting #PledgeToPlant still entered you into a sweepstakes for home garden kits. - **The Tech**: Built with Wi-Fi connectivity and a touchscreen interface for Twitter login. It integrated with Twitter’s robust API (more open than other platforms at the time) to verify tweets in real-time, preventing duplicates or retweets from triggering dispenses. Similar machines were later adapted for Instagram, but this was Twitter-first. - **Agency/Partners**: Handled by experiential marketing firms like Innovative Vending Solutions, which specialized in social-activated machines. It was part of the brand’s second annual grant program, awarding community garden projects. ### ****Why It Rocked**** **Impact**: It generated buzz in marketing circles as a pioneer in tweet-vending tech, inspiring similar activations (e.g., Oreo’s flavor-tweeting Oreos at SXSW). The campaign ran alongside grants for community gardens, raising awareness and entries for funding. While exact metrics aren’t public, it contributed to the trend of social currency vending, where engagement = freebies. **Engagement**: Attendees loved the instant gratification—tweet, get seeds, plant the future. It sparked viral moments, like users sharing their pledges and hauls, amplifying reach. One expo post showed crowds buzzing around it, turning a simple market booth into a social hub. **Brand Tie-In**: Perfectly aligned with Seeds of Change’s ethos of “seeds for change,” using social media to plant literal and figurative seeds of sustainability. Pledges focused on greening urban spaces, schools, or neighborhoods, fostering real-world impact. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Flat Shoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/flat-shoes-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) > [Short Story Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/short-story-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Vending Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-hong-kong-2/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines in Hong Kong offer convenience and low cost, providing snacks and essentials in public spaces, operating 24/7. **Content:** Vending Machine in Hong Kong is known as automatic selling machine (自動售賣機 or 汽水機). Majorities of the vending machine are placed in the public, with some in the shopping centers and schools. Most are stocked with snacks and drinks, while some may have umbrellas, cosmetics, cases and accessories for mobile phones. The Hong Kong Post also has vending machine for selling stamps. Vending machines in Hong Kong allow the customer to pay by cash, credit cards and [Octopus cards](https://www.octopus.com.hk/en/consumer/index.html), a type of smart card. ### **Why Vending machine is popular in Hong Kong?** Due to high labor cost and limited space, vending machine have been introduced to Hong Kong. Convenient to use, cheap to set up and easy to maintain are some of the key advantages of vending machines. There is no need to hire someone to man them and they work 24/7 without any complain! Also, customers can buy ‘necessities’ without having to walk to nearby convenience store only to realise it’s ‘CLOSED’! The cost advantage is particularly obvious in Hong Kong. For instance, renting a vending machine slot in an MTR station often costs less than placing an ad there, according to an RTHK report. By installing a vending machine, you can both advertise your product and use it as a sales point. That’s why it’s such a great deal and large companies such as [Coca-Cola](https://www.swirecocacolahk.com/) and [Vitasoy](https://www.vitasoy.com/) have placed many vending machines in Hong Kong as shown in the feature image. Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine Co. Ltd. is the largest Vending Machine Manufacturer/Distributor in Hong Kong and have been serving Hong Kong since 1970s. ### **Case Study** The most important decision in the vending machine business is picking the location. Traffic is the paramount consideration. Some companies have used vending machine as part of their promotion campaign. For example, Colgate Hong Kong has set up vending machines in shopping malls. After inserting a HK$1 coin, the participant will receive a green apple, a toothpaste and a leaflet containing a quiz about bleeding gums. The HK$1 proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and promoters armed with tablets encourage participants to answer questions in the quiz and recommending products based on how severe their gum bleeding is, as reflected by the quiz. Participants can also share that they have taken the quiz on Facebook to receive a free toothbrush. ![Vending Machine in Hong Kong - Colgate Green Apple Campaign](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Vending-Machine-in-Hong-Kong-Colgate-Green-Apple-Campaign.jpg?resize=300%2C180&ssl=1 "Vending Machine in Hong Kong - Colgate Green Apple Campaign - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")![Vending Machine in Hong Kong - Colgate Green Apple Campaign2](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Vending-Machine-in-Hong-Kong-Colgate-Green-Apple-Campaign2.jpg?resize=300%2C180&ssl=1 "Vending Machine in Hong Kong - Colgate Green Apple Campaign2 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- #### ******Products and Solutions****** > [Drinks Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/drinks-vending-machine/) > [Crane Multi-Purpose Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/crane-multi-purpose-machine/) > [Payment Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/payment-solution/) > [Buy Coffee Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/coffee-machine/) > [Payment Kiosk](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/payment-kiosk/) > [Turnstiles](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/turnstiles/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Stamp Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/stamp-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Stamp vending machines provide convenient, accessible, and efficient postal services, dispensing various stamps in public locations outside post office hours. **Content:** Stamp vending machines offer a convenient solution for purchasing postage stamps without the need to visit a post office counter.

The fancy retail machine stocks a list of over the top items including golden handcuffs, land and condos.

The campaign’s core message encouraged consumers to “crack open” their hearts and minds—like cracking open a fresh coconut—to embrace positivity, hydration, and holistic well-being. It positioned ZICO as more than a sports drink, evolving it into an “anytime” beverage for emotional and physical flourishing, with the tagline emphasizing that “life is better when our hearts and minds are open.” ### ****ZICO Secret Garden**** A standout experiential element was the 2015 “ZICO Secret Garden” pop-up in downtown Manhattan, disguised as a standard vending machine. Created in collaboration with Refinery29, it launched on June 19, 2015, as a surprise for NYC tastemakers and passersby. - **Concept and Execution**: Users approached what appeared to be a regular ZICO vending machine offering free coconut water. Instead of dispensing a bottle, pressing the button revealed a hidden door leading to a lush, insta-worthy garden lounge. The space featured: - Custom ZICO cocktails and a “ZICO Cloud Bar.” - Live entertainment: DJs Brendan Fallis and CHAPMAN, a string quartet, and ballet dancers. - Floral-themed decor echoing the campaign’s artistic visuals. The activation embodied the “Crack Life Open” ethos: “Appearances can be deceiving—it’s what’s on the inside that counts,” surprising participants and encouraging them to “open up” to new experiences. - **Target and Buzz**: Aimed at influencers and urban consumers, it generated social media shares through its novelty. Videos captured reactions of delight and surprise as people “walked in” expecting a simple drink but discovering a full event space. ### ****Impact and Legacy**** The campaign helped reposition ZICO in a crowded coconut water market, boosting brand awareness through Alba’s star power and viral experiential stunts. It ran through summer 2015, aligning with peak hydration season, and contributed to ZICO’s growth as a lifestyle brand. While specific metrics aren’t public, the activations like the Secret Garden amplified the “Flourish from the Inside Out” narrative, fostering emotional connections beyond product sales. ![Vending Machine Experience from ZICO](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Experience.jpg?resize=480%2C273&ssl=1 "Experience - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Vending Machine Experience from ZICO --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Flat Shoes Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/flat-shoes-vending-machine/) > [Book vending machine, Soar with reading](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/soar-reading-book-vending-machine/) > [How Facebook’s Vending Machines Enhance Employee Efficiency](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/facebook-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Egg Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/egg-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines enhance farm sales by reducing theft, operating 24/7, boosting income, and promoting local products across New York. **Content:** Producers who rely on honesty boxes for farm gate sales are all too often left out of pocket when would-be customers walk off with their eggs or other produce without paying. It just doesn’t work. The machine offered farmers some security against opportunist thieves who took advantage of honesty boxes. It can be tailored to suit any size of operation and it can vend anything from eggs to vegetables and potatoes. ![Egg Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Egg-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C582&ssl=1 "Egg-Vending-Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")In the US, Glaum Egg Ranch in Santa Cruz County, California was one of the earliest adopters, dispensing eggs with a side of entertainment. When customers purchase eggs, they’re also treated to an animatronic show complete with singing and dancing chickens. New York decided to implement a vending machine program that was somewhere between practical and publicity stunt. Machines at rest stops are now selling items ranging from Red Jacket Orchard juices from Geneva, New York to Finger Lakes Fresh apple slices from Groton and Sweet Sam’s cookies from the Bronx. New York has installed 10 machines throughout the state and hopes to install more if they prove popular. This marks the first time local-fare vending machines have been sponsored by the public sector. Vending machines have a number of advantages over brick-and-mortar stores or even farmers markets. There’s no need to pay an employee to run the register and, unlike a weekly market, the machines can run 24/7 in many locations at once. The vending machines also boost farm income and offer a bit of brand recognition. Visitors who see a farm’s name in a vending machine might be moved to take part in a farm tour or seek out their products elsewhere. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pizza Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pizza-vending-machine/) > [Staple Food Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/staple-food-vending-machine/) > [Boost in Condom Accessibility with Vending Machines in Toilets](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safe-sex-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Vending Machine History](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/history-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines evolved from ancient mechanical dispensers to modern smart kiosks, showcasing convenience and automation through centuries of innovation. **Content:** Vending Machine—a symbol of convenience and automation—has a surprisingly ancient origin, evolving over two millennia from simple mechanical dispensers to today’s smart, cashless kiosks. ### ?️ ************1st Century CE – The First Vending Machine************ The earliest known vending machine was invented by **Hero of Alexandria**, a Greek engineer in Roman Egypt, around **60 CE**. It dispensed **holy water in temples**: when a coin was dropped into a slot, it fell onto a pan attached to a lever, opening a valve that released a fixed amount of water. After the coin slid off, the valve closed—making it a clever, faith-based transaction. ### ? **************1**7th–19th Century – Tobacco and Postcards**************** Vending machines reappeared in **England in the early 1600s**, with coin-operated **tobacco dispensers**. But the modern era began in **1883**, when **Percy Everitt** in London introduced a machine that sold **postcards**—soon followed by ones dispensing **envelopes, notepaper, and stamps**. These became common in railway stations, catering to the booming postal culture. ### ? **********Early 20th Century – The Rise of Snacks and Sodas********** The **1920s–1940s** saw rapid expansion in the U.S.: - **1926**: The first **cigarette vending machine** (later restricted due to health laws). - **1930s**: **Soft drink machines** took off, especially with Coca-Cola’s iconic **Vendo** machines. - **1946**: The **first coffee vending machine** debuted, offering instant hot drinks. These machines became fixtures in factories, offices, and gas stations—fueling the postwar consumer boom. ### ? ****1950s–1980s – Golden Age of Convenience**** Post-war prosperity and miniaturization led to vending machines selling: - Gum, candy, and snacks - Hot food (e.g., **toast, hamburgers**) - Even **condoms, books, and umbrellas** Japan embraced vending culture like no other—by the **1980s**, it had over **1 million machines**, offering everything from sake to fresh eggs. ### ? ******1990s–2010s – Going Digital****** Machines began accepting **credit cards**, then **contactless payments**. Refrigerated units allowed fresh food sales, while **touchscreens and inventory tracking** improved efficiency. The focus shifted from **novelty** to **necessity**—especially in 24/7 societies. ### ? ********2020s – Smart, Sustainable, and Specialized******** Today’s vending machines are **IoT-connected**, with remote monitoring, cashless payments, and restocking. Innovations include: - **Fresh pizza** (e.g., *Paline* in the U.S.) - **Pharmacy prescriptions** (in rural areas) - **Eco-friendly models** using solar power - **Beauty, electronics, and PPE dispensers** Japan remains the global leader, with **nearly 4 million machines**—about one for every 30 people—while other countries adopt them for **on-demand retail** in a post-pandemic world. --- **From temple rituals to midnight ice cream**, the vending machine reflects humanity’s enduring quest for **instant access, automation, and convenience**—proving that sometimes, the simplest idea (drop a coin, get a treat) can last over 2,000 years. A Vending Machine is a machine that dispenses items such as snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, and lottery tickets to customers automatically, after the customer inserts currency or credit into the machine. The first modern vending machine was developed in England in the early 19th century and dispensed postcards. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pajamas Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pajamas-vending-machine/) > [Salvation Army Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salvation-army-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Ice Cream Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ice-cream-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 10, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's ice cream vending machines offer 24/7 access to diverse frozen treats, reflecting innovative technology and a culture of convenience. **Content:** Japan is globally renowned for its **ubiquitous, high-tech vending machines**—and when it comes to **ice cream**, the country takes frozen indulgence to a whole new level.

About 45,000 AEDs were placed in Japan in 2006, according to cardiologist Dr. Hideo Mitamura, AED advocate. > A number of tragedies occurred before Japan brought its laws into line with international recommendations by allowing public access to AEDs. > > The most publicized was the death of Prince Takamado, a member of the Imperial family who collapsed in September 2002 while playing squash. Although an ambulance arrived within eight minutes, paramedics were too late to resuscitate the prince. > > Alice Dordenker Placing the AED in a vending machine, says Dordenker, means people are more likely to learn its location and be able to get it quickly in case of an emergency. It also saves space to put the AED into the vending machine rather than having a separate storage cabinet. Unlike other vending machine items, use of the AED is free. At the same time, there is an alarm to discourage theft. Laypersons in Japan are not required to have training to use AEDs, although free training is available at fire stations. ### **Why AED Accessibility Matters in Japan** - **High Population Density**: In cities like Tokyo and Osaka, rapid access to an AED in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest can dramatically increase survival rates—**from under 10% to over 50%** when used with CPR. - **Aging Society**: Japan has the world’s oldest population; cardiac emergencies are more common, making widespread AED availability a public health priority. - **Legal & Cultural Support**: Since 2004, Japan has encouraged AED deployment in public spaces. Good Samaritan laws protect bystanders who use AEDs in good faith, and public CPR/AED training is widely promoted by fire departments and schools. **Real-World Examples** - **Train Stations**: JR East and other rail operators have installed AEDs in stations—often in glass-fronted cabinets resembling vending machines—for instant access. - **Convenience Stores**: Chains like **7-Eleven**, **Lawson**, and **FamilyMart** frequently house AEDs near entrances, sometimes integrated into illuminated signage that doubles as a safety beacon. - **Rural & Remote Areas**: In depopulated regions where ambulances may take 15+ minutes to arrive, AED vending-style kiosks at community centers or bus stops serve as vital first-response tools. ### **Interesting facts** - AEDs are not dangerous for a bystander rescuer or healthcare provider to use. - You are not at risk of being sued for using an AED on a victim. AEDs are extremely safe. ### **Challenges and Innovations** While AED vending units are effective, challenges remain: - **Public Awareness**: Not everyone knows how or when to use an AED. - **Maintenance**: Units must be regularly checked for battery and pad expiration. - **Visibility**: Some AEDs are poorly marked or placed in low-traffic corners. **To address this, Japan has seen innovations like:** - **AED Map Apps**: The Japan AED Foundation and local governments offer real-time mobile maps showing AED locations. - **AI-Powered Kiosks**: Pilot programs in Tokyo test kiosks that detect emergency calls nearby and flash lights to guide rescuers to the AED. - **Solar-Powered Units**: Deployed in parks and hiking trails for off-grid reliability. ### **Conclusion** Japan’s “AED vending machines” exemplify how the nation leverages its vending machine infrastructure not just for convenience, but for **community resilience and life-saving readiness**. By embedding critical medical technology into everyday public spaces—often in forms that resemble familiar drink or snack dispensers—Japan ensures that in a cardiac emergency, help is never more than a few steps away. This seamless integration of health tech into urban and rural landscapes underscores Japan’s commitment to a safe, prepared, and compassionate society.

Two hundred Perspex-fronted, coin-operated compartments are crammed with organic fresh fruit, vegetables, and eggs sourced from the Île-de-France area, no more than 50 kilometres outside of the city. ![Vegetable Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Vegetable-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=607%2C400&ssl=1 "Vegetable Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Producers take up to 50 percent of the proceeds, a far higher cut than what offered by many supermarkets. It was made possible thanks to self-service system and minimal staff expenses. ‘The big distributors have killed small producers in France in the last ten years,’ explains Julian, who began Au Bout Du Champ with friend Joseph. ‘Supermarkets like Monoprix demand cheap prices for food but the fruit and vegetables are not fresh and are imported from places like South America—they’re terrible and it’s not logical. Every weekend, I go to my parent’s house for a traditional Sunday lunch and we always buy well-priced, freshly picked produce from the farmer who has a stall close to the road. In the city there is nowhere to buy such food.’ ### ****Parent’s opinion**** ‘My mum told me it was a bad idea because when she buys vegetables, she likes to speak with the seller. She also likes to touch the tomatoes to feel if they are ready to eat,’ says Julien. ‘I understand but imagine 100 people touching your tomatoes before you buy them—it’s not hygienic.’ ### ****A new relationship is formed!**** ‘After a month or so we noticed that because there was no specific relationship between us—the seller—and the buyer, a bond was born between the consumers,’ he adds. ‘The people entering the shop speak with one another about cooking, how the system works, and sometimes team up and divide the contents of each locker depending on what they want. It’s like a community.’ Julien and Joseph’s automats are supplied by not just one, but four producers. The seasonal fruit and veg is sent to the shops every day, equating to about 25 to 20 percent of each farmer’s overall production. Information displayed near each automat explains the farmers’ stories and the philosophy of supporting local businesses. Thanks to the self-service operation, the shops stay open seven days a week—a rarity in Paris. > It’s also about education and showing people how good food is grown, where it comes from, and the value of supporting local economies. > > Julian --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Army Supplies Vending Machine for National Servicemen in Singapore](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/army-supplies-vending-machine/) > [Emergency Contraception in Vending Machines: A New Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-emergency-contraception/) > [Singapore Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/book-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Business Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/business-card-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Business card vending machines offer quick and convenient access to custom cards at events, enhancing networking opportunities for professionals. **Content:** A business card vending machine represents an innovative solution for distributing business cards in high-traffic or event-based locations, catering to the needs of professionals and businesses looking for quick and easy access to their contact information.

The trend is a combination of local municipalities’ need to increase their emergency stockpiles at lower costs and the desire among beverage makers to enhance their corporate image through social contributions. When the Great East Japan Earthquake hit on March 11, 2011, Coca-Cola Japan Co. employs the remote control functions on about 400 disaster-relief vending machines with backup batteries in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other locations. The Tokyo-headquartered company offered more than 88,000 of its beverages for free to people who had difficulty returning home in the aftermath of the disaster. The company said it later received words of gratitude such as, “It was nice to get a hot drink for free in such a cold situation.” In many cases, the machines are installed at schools and gymnasiums used as evacuation centers, based on disaster assistance agreements between local governments and beverage makers. Yoshiteru Murosaki, a professor emeritus at Kobe University and expert on urban planning for disaster mitigation, said: > Disaster-relief vending machines are useful not only for stockpiling beverages, but also for raising the disaster-prevention awareness of residents who see the machines regularly. Companies and local governments should cooperate to keep installing more similar machines. > > Yoshiteru Murosaki --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Toothpaste Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/toothpaste-promotion-vending-machine/) > [Comic Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/comic-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Documentary on Vending machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/nhk-documentary-vending-machines-in-japan/) **Published:** June 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's vending machines, numbering 5.2 million, showcase advanced technology, diverse products, energy efficiency, and significant cultural integration. **Content:** Japan is a nation of vending machines – 5.2 million of them! You find them everywhere, selling all sorts of products. And many vending machines in Japan do much more than simply sell things. There are ultra-energy-efficient vending machines, vending machines with lifesaving equipment, vending machines that give you the option to donate your change to charity, and vending machines that can evaluate a customer’s age and gender in order to recommend specific drinks. Japan pioneered vending machines that could dispense hot drinks in cans. The inspiration behind their development might surprise you. Retro, low-tech vending machines still exist, and they have ardent fans. On this edition of [BEGIN Japanology](https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/japanologyplus/), it will examine the unique history of how Vending Machine developed in Japan, as well as their features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcmy8FaaHHM ### **Vending Machines in Japan** Vending machines in Japan are ubiquitous and offer a fascinating insight into the country’s advanced technology and consumer culture. Here are some interesting points about vending machines in Japan: 1. **Diversity of Products**: Japanese vending machines sell a wide variety of items beyond just drinks, including hot meals, fresh produce, umbrellas, cigarettes, electronics, and even fresh eggs. This diversity reflects the convenience-oriented culture and the high level of trust within society. 2. **Advanced Technology**: Many vending machines in Japan incorporate cutting-edge technology. For example, some machines can detect the customer’s age and gender to recommend products or display targeted advertisements. Others use facial recognition to suggest drinks based on perceived preferences. 3. **Energy Efficiency**: Manufacturers like Fuji Electric have developed “peak shift” vending machines that cool drinks during off-peak hours to save energy during the day when electricity costs are higher. This is part of broader efforts in Japan to be more energy-efficient and environmentally conscious. 4. **Accessibility and Convenience**: Vending machines are found everywhere in Japan, from city streets to remote mountain areas. They serve as a convenient solution for accessing goods 24/7, which is particularly useful in places where traditional shops may not be available around the clock. 5. **Cultural Integration**: The widespread presence of vending machines also reflects aspects of Japanese culture such as a preference for automation and minimizing human interaction in transactions. It caters to the fast-paced lifestyle and provides a sense of safety and privacy in purchasing. 6. **Unique Offerings**: Some vending machines in Japan offer unique or regional items, giving locals and tourists alike an opportunity to experience something special. For instance, certain machines might sell local beverages or snacks that are hard to find elsewhere. These features make vending machines in Japan not just a means of selling products, but also a reflection of technological advancement, cultural values, and societal norms. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Diamond Bracelet Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/diamond-bracelet-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Newspaper Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/newspaper-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 11, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Zeitungsautomaten in Germany, though declining, remain vital for news access, symbolising print's reliability amid digital advancements. **Content:** In Germany, newspaper vending machines—known as **Zeitungsautomaten**—have long been a staple of urban and suburban landscapes, offering round-the-clock access to the day’s headlines. These sturdy, coin-operated metal boxes, often painted in bold colors matching their publisher’s branding, evoke a sense of nostalgia amid the digital news revolution. While they’ve dwindled in number due to the rise of online subscriptions and apps, they persist in key locations, serving impulse buyers, early risers, and those who still crave the tactile rustle of newsprint. ### ****A Brief History**** Zeitungsautomaten trace their roots to the early 20th century, but they boomed post-World War II as literacy rates soared and daily papers like *Bild*, *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)*, and *Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ)* expanded circulation. By the 1970s–80s, they dotted sidewalks near train stations (e.g., Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof), bus stops, and kiosks, stocked by delivery vans before dawn. Unlike U.S. “honor boxes,” German models typically use a coin mechanism that unlocks the door only after exact (or over) payment—no change given, but overpayment is common and accepted. This “Überzahlung möglich” (overpayment possible) system relies on trust, much like the papers themselves. The digital shift hit hard: Circulation of print dailies fell from 25 million in 2000 to about 13 million by 2025, per the German Publishers and Booksellers Association (Börsenverein). Vending sales now account for under 5% of total distribution, down from 20–30% in the 1990s. Yet, they’re not obsolete—global market reports project steady (if modest) growth in newspaper vending tech through 2031, with Europe (including Germany) emphasizing durable, weatherproof designs. ### ****How they work**** These machines are simple, mechanical marvels—no apps or screens in most cases: - **Payment**: Insert €1–€3 coins (e.g., two €1.50 for a *Bild* daily; €2.50–€4 for weeklies like *Die Zeit*). Some accept €1 bills via slots. - **Unlock**: The door springs open for one paper (or a stack if you’re cheeky, though rare). Close it, and it relocks. - **Stocking**: Publishers or local distributors refill daily, fitting formats like Berliner (tabloid, e.g., *Bild*), Rhenish (folded broadsheet, e.g., *FAZ*), or Nordic (compact, e.g., *SZ*). - **Capacity**: Holds 50–200 copies, with a small window showing the top paper to lure buyers. Modern upgrades include tamper-proof locks, anti-graffiti coatings, and LED lights for visibility. A standout innovation: Since March 2024, the first Bitcoin-accepting Zeitungsautomat went live in Berlin, using a QR code scanner and Lightning Network for instant micropayments—enter a PIN post-transaction, and grab your *Tagesspiegel*. It’s a pilot, but it nods to Germany’s crypto-friendly vibe (Berlin’s a blockchain hub). ### ****Current Status**** They’re declining but far from extinct. Urban density keeps them viable in high-traffic spots, while rural areas see them repurposed as community notice boards or mini-libraries. Challenges include theft (papers nicked without pay), weather damage, and low ROI—many publishers prioritize home delivery or apps. ### ****Cultural Significance and Future**** Zeitungsautomaten symbolize Germany’s love for efficiency and print’s reliability—think a quick *Bild* grab en route to work, headlines blaring about Bundesliga drama or politics. They’re photogenic too: Stock images from Munich’s streets capture rows of colorful boxes under rain-slicked skies. In a nation where 70% of adults read print weekly (per Reuters Institute 2025), they bridge old and new. Looking ahead, expect hybrids: Machines vending mags, books, or e-paper codes alongside news. With EU green pushes, solar-powered models could emerge. For now, they’re a reminder: In a swipe-right world, sometimes you just need to insert a coin and pull the door. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/German-Newspaper-Rack.jpg?resize=467%2C1024&ssl=1 "Newspaper Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")In the United States, publishers have said that the distribution of newspapers by means of street racks is “an essential method of conveying information to the public”.

The ongoing collaboration between AIDS Concern and the New Asia College Student Union received positive feedback from university students and more than 1,200 free condoms were distributed in six months. Mandy Cheung, Program Director of AIDS Concern, is happy that the collaboration enjoys vast support from university students. > There is a prominent increase in the HIV infection rate among young people in recent years and more effort on HIV prevention work shall be invested. ### ****Inspiration from other locations**** Mandy made reference to Taiwan, where approximately 10 universities with condom vending machines have been installed, and a series of preventive education programs has been launched to reduce the infection rate among young people. For many years, AIDS Concern approaches young people through free HIV/AIDS education and testing services to promote the importance of safer sex, in order to reduce their risk of HIV infection. ### ****About AIDS Concern**** AIDS Concern was established in 1990 as the first non-government charity organisation committed to the service of AIDS care in Hong Kong. The founders were a group of volunteers from different backgrounds dedicated to improving the living standards for people living with HIV and to stop the spread of HIV. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Boost in Condom Accessibility with Vending Machines in Toilets](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safe-sex-vending-machine/) > [How a Yawn-Activated Coffee Machine Went Viral](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Shrine Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/shrine-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 20, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines at Japanese shrines provide convenience for visitors, serving drinks, snacks, and spiritual items, while supporting shrine maintenance. **Content:** In **Japan**, it’s quite typical to find vending machines on shrine or temple grounds, particularly: - Near entrances or along approach paths (called *sandō*) - At larger or more tourist-frequented shrines - Offering drinks (tea, water, soda), snacks, or even **omamori** (protective amulets) or fortunes (*omikuji*) These machines serve: - **Visitors and tourists** who may be walking long distances - **Convenience** without disrupting the spiritual atmosphere - **Revenue** for shrine maintenance (many shrines are self-funded) Example: Fushimi Inari Taisha (Kyoto) and Meiji Shrine (Tokyo) have vending machines near their grounds. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Vending-Machine-in-Buddhist-temples-and-Shinto-Shrines.png?resize=636%2C358&ssl=1 "Vending Machine in Buddhist Temples and Shinto Shrines - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Fortune Telling Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/fortune-telling-vending-machine/) > [Cupcake Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cupcake-vending-machine/) > [Cosmo’s Art-O-Mat machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmos-art-o-mat-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Location --- ### [Criticism of Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/criticism-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 20, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines enable easy access to tobacco and alcohol, yet raise concerns about age verification and electricity consumption efficiency. **Content:** ******Tobacco and Alcoholic Vending Machines****** Some say the convenience of vending machines itself is a problem in that anyone of any age can buy things from them. Since 2008, the majority of tobacco vending machines have featured a “Taspo” age verification unit with an IC card system. Until then, however, anyone could buy cigarettes without any verification. As for the situation regarding alcohol vending machines, the alcoholic beverages industry has started to replace old machines with ones that require purchasers to present either a driver’s license or an ID magnetic card as well as their self-imposed restraint. However, because it has not been legislated by law, a small number of the old vending machines – without age verification systems – still remain in the streets. ******Electricity Consumption****** There is another growing concern over the electricity consumption of the machines. Particularly, drink vending machines, which run 24 hours a day in order to keep drinks hot and cold, have come in for harsh criticism. The vending machine industry has already developed a technology called “zone cooling,” which can quickly and intensively cool down the products to be sold. There has also been a drive to try to cut energy by using automatic lighting systems with sensors, and by reducing the brightness of the lighting. Thanks to such initiatives, in 2005 the industry finally succeeded in cutting the annual electricity usage per vending machine by half, compared with the energy use statistics in 1990. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) > [Facebook vending machine, coke or tool](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/facebook-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Peak Shift Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/peak-shift-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 20, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's 'Peak Shift' vending machines conserve energy by cooling beverages at night, addressing electricity shortages from the 2011 earthquake. **Content:** Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has presented ‘Peak Shift’ vending machines with the Energy Conservation Grand Prize. The innovation saves energy by shifting power used to cool beverages from day (when energy demand is highest) to night. Thinking behind the innovative ‘Peak Shift’ vending machines was the desire to contribute to the energy situation in Japan. There is shortage following the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck in 2011. Since demand for electricity generally peaks in the daytime, this new peak-shift type of vending machine uses electricity for refrigeration during the night time. During the time when most people are sleeping, electricity demand is comparatively low, thereby significantly reducing power consumption during the day. Refrigeration is performed entirely during the night, and then maintained through a highly advanced insulation technology that employs vacuum insulation materials, as well as a thermal-storage technology that enables efficient electricity usage in the daytime. This allows the vending machine to provide cold beverages for an entire day. Less electricity is consumed for refrigeration during that peak energy-demand time. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Egg Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/egg-vending-machine/) > [How Facebook’s Vending Machines Enhance Employee Efficiency](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/facebook-vending-machine/) > [Printer Ink Cartridge Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/printer-ink-cartridge-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Mount Fuji's Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-mount-fuji/) **Published:** June 20, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Japan's highest vending machine exemplifies “Omotenashi,” offering climbers essential refreshments in extreme conditions, enhancing their experience. **Content:** Even up at the mountain, convenience rules.

Seaga India, a 100% subsidiary of the Seaga Group of USA, is the pioneer for bringing the concept of vending machines to India. Vending machines are used to sell snacks, beverages, condoms, public transit tickets, Jewellery, and change for currency notes. Several reasons have been attributed to the lack of success of vending machines in India. The availability of cheap labour makes operating stores or kiosks economical; customers lack of technical knowledge and feel uneasy using vending machines; a lack of machines that accept a wide variety of payment methods; vandalism, rough use, and poor maintenance of the machines. However, vending machines are relatively new in India and analysts believe that usage will rise. ### **Netherlands** A common feature of snack bars in the Netherlands is a wall lined with coin-operated machines. Each has a vertical row of little windows, with a (usually hot) snack behind each, e.g., a croquette, a frikandel or a hamburger. Behind the machine is the kitchen where the snacks are prepared, with the little windows being re-supplied from the back. Automatieks may provide chairs for customers, but it is also common to have seating only for customers buying food at the counter. Sometimes the vending machines are in an outside wall, and no shelter is provided. These vending machines are often located at railway stations or in busy shopping streets. ### **Russia** In the USSR, vending machines became more common after Nikita Khruschev visited the USA.

Operated by **Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd.**, one of Japan’s oldest and most trusted dairy companies (founded in 1917), these machines offer more than just milk—they deliver a taste of childhood, tradition, and wholesome simplicity. ![Milk Carton Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Milk-Carton-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=300%2C400&ssl=1 "Milk Carton Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")--- ### **What Is It?** The **Morinaga Milk Vending Machine** is a specialized refrigerated vending machine that dispenses **fresh, chilled bottles or cartons of Morinaga’s premium milk**, often alongside other dairy products like **yogurt drinks, lactic beverages (e.g., Bifidus), and seasonal treats**. Unlike typical beverage vending machines selling sodas or canned coffee, these units focus exclusively on **high-quality, locally sourced dairy**. The most iconic version sells **glass-bottled milk** (200ml or 350ml) with a classic **red-and-white Morinaga label**—a design that has remained nearly unchanged for decades, instantly recognizable to generations of Japanese consumers. --- ### **Where Can You Find It?** These machines are intentionally placed in **family-friendly, health-conscious, or nostalgic settings**: - Near **elementary schools** (where parents or kids might grab a nutritious drink after class) - In **residential neighborhoods**, parks, and community centers - Along **countryside roads** or **onsen (hot spring) towns**, especially in regions like Hokkaido or Nagano—famous for dairy farming - At **train stations** in smaller cities or rural areas, where local pride in regional dairy shines Unlike flashy urban vending machines, Morinaga milk dispensers often have a **retro, utilitarian look**—sometimes housed in simple metal cabinets with a small window to view the chilled bottles inside. Many operate 24/7, glowing softly with a reassuring hum. ### **Why Is It Special?** 1. **Freshness & Quality** Morinaga sources milk from local farms, often emphasizing low-temperature pasteurization to preserve flavor and nutrients. The milk is typically delivered and restocked frequently, ensuring peak freshness. 2. **Nostalgia Factor** For many Japanese adults, the sight and sound of a Morinaga milk bottle clinking into the tray brings back memories of school lunches, summer hikes, or post-baseball-practice refreshments. It’s a symbol of **“showa-era” innocence and simplicity**. 3. **Eco-Conscious Design** Some models still use **returnable glass bottles**, encouraging reuse—a practice that aligns with Japan’s growing sustainability efforts. Even disposable cartons are made with recyclable materials. 4. **Limited-Edition & Regional Varieties** In certain areas, you might find **Hokkaido rich milk**, **low-fat options**, or seasonal flavors like **cocoa milk in winter** or **strawberry yogurt drinks in spring**. --- ### **A Quiet Counterpoint to Modern Convenience** While Japan dazzles the world with AI-powered ramen vending machines and robot cafes, the **Morinaga Milk Vending Machine** stands as a quiet, wholesome reminder of **slower, more grounded values**: nutrition, trust, and daily ritual. There’s something deeply comforting about pressing a button and receiving a cold bottle of pure milk—no gimmicks, no sugar rush, just nourishment. In a society that moves at lightning speed, this humble machine offers a moment of pause—a sip of calm, chilled in glass and wrapped in memory. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Baguette Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/baguette-vending-machine/) > [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) > [Moët Champagne Vending Machines: Where & Why](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/moet-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Shape --- ### [Pizza Vending Machine - Claudio Torghele](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pizza-vending-machine-claudio-torghele/) **Published:** June 20, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Mr. Torghele's Let's Pizza machine creates fresh pizza in minutes using ingredients, offering a cheaper alternative to dining out in Europe. **Content:** Over the last decade, Mr. Torghele developed a vending machine that cooks pizza. The machine does not just slip a frozen pizza into a microwave. It actually whips up flour, water, tomato sauce and fresh ingredients to produce a piping hot pizza in about three minutes. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Claudio-Torghele-Pizza-Machine.jpg?resize=600%2C360&ssl=1 "Pizza Vending Machine Claudio Torghele - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The Lets Pizza vending machine at a shopping mall in Trentino Italy It can turn flour water tomato sauce and fresh ingredients into hot pizza in a few minutes for a price as low as $450The machine, which Mr. Torghele calls Let’s Pizza, is only the spearhead of a trend. Unlike the old automats, which were staffed with workers who refilled the machines with creamed spinach and baked beans as fast as customers pulled them out, these restaurants consist entirely of vending machines. In Milan, a two-hour drive west of Rovereto, a franchise chain called Brekky has opened the first three of what is planned to be a large chain of restaurants in which customers can buy cold dishes like salads and sandwiches, and warm dishes like pasta, from vending machines. North of the Alps, the automat never really died out. In the Netherlands, Febo, a chain started in 1941 by a Dutch baker, now has about 60 restaurants. In France, bright green and yellow Yatoo Partoo machines — the name loosely translates as “You can get everything, everywhere” — sell milk, juice, snacks and sandwiches 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Europeans are looking for less expensive ways to eat out, and the automat is far less expensive than a white-tablecloth restaurant. The idea for a pizza robot came to Mr. Torghele after he worked in California in the mid-1990s creating a fresh pasta manufacturer. “At food courts I saw a trend toward vending machines,” he said at his office. “In fast food, I saw pizza everywhere.” The machine Mr. Torghele and his engineers produced is outfitted with little windows so the customer can watch the pizza being made. As in the Charlie Chaplin film “Modern Times” (in miniature and without Chaplin) wheels turn and gears grind. The customer presses a button to choose one of four varieties — margherita (plain cheese and tomato sauce), bacon, ham or fresh greens. A plastic container dumps flour into a drum resembling a tiny washing machine; a squirt of water follows, and the drum goes into a spin cycle, forming a blob of dough that is then pressed flat to form a 12-inch disk. Tomato paste is squirted onto the dough and cheese is added before it is lifted into a small infrared oven. The baked pizza then slips onto a cardboard tray and out into the customer’s waiting hands. Mr. Torghele says the pizza will cost as little $4.50, depending on the variety. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) > [Pop-Up Nikefuel points Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pop-up-nikefuel-points-vending-machine/) > [Convenient Office Supplies: Staples’ Vending Machine Experiment](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/office-supplies-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Discovering Board Games: Vending Machines Enhance Shopping Experience](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/board-game-vending-machine/) **Published:** June 23, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Vending machines offering popular board games enhance accessibility, promote impulse buying, and support community engagement in high-traffic locations. **Content:** There are Vending Machines selling the most popular board games and it is great for promotion in popular and busy location.

The aim is to cater to different age groups and interests, making it easier for enthusiasts and newcomers alike to discover new games. 2. **Compact Packaging**: To fit within the constraints of a vending machine, the board games are often specially packaged in compact versions or travel editions, ensuring they are small enough to be dispensed easily while still offering the full gaming experience. 3. **Interactive Displays**: Many modern vending machines include digital displays that allow users to browse through available games, read reviews, view gameplay videos, or see recommendations based on their preferences. This helps customers make informed decisions before purchasing. 4. **Convenience**: Board game vending machines can be strategically placed in locations such as shopping malls, airports, libraries, and community centers, providing easy access to games for families, travelers, or anyone looking for entertainment on the go. 5. **Promotional Opportunities**: These machines also serve as promotional tools for game publishers. They can feature limited edition releases, exclusive content, or tie-ins with events like game conventions, helping to build excitement around new product launches. 6. **Sustainability Options**: Some vending machines incorporate eco-friendly practices, such as using recyclable packaging materials or offering discounts to customers who return game boxes for recycling. ### **Benefits:** - **Accessibility**: Makes board games more accessible by placing them in high-traffic areas where people might not typically think to look for games. - **Impulse Buys**: Encourages impulse purchases due to the convenient nature of vending machines, potentially introducing new audiences to tabletop gaming. - **Community Engagement**: In places like libraries or community centers, these machines can support local gaming communities by making it easier for members to try out new games or find gifts for fellow enthusiasts. ### **Examples and Potential Impact:** While specific examples of board game vending machines may be limited, the idea aligns well with the growing popularity of tabletop gaming.

Though it will worth every single dollar if you need it. ### **Why Toilet Paper Vending Machines?** 1. **Convenience**: In areas with limited retail access—like rural towns, train stations, or public restrooms—these machines provide quick access to essential supplies. 2. **Emergency Use**: Some public restrooms (especially older or less-maintained ones) may run out of toilet paper. A nearby vending machine offers a reliable backup. 3. **Hygiene and Contactless Transactions**: Especially post-pandemic, vending machines reduce the need for person-to-person interaction. 4. **24/7 Availability**: Unlike convenience stores, vending machines operate around the clock. While not as common as drink or snack machines, toilet paper vending machines reflect Japan’s blend of practicality, technological adaptation, and customer-centric service design. They’re a small but telling example of how Japan uses automation to meet everyday needs—efficiently and reliably. ![Toilet Paper Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Toilet-Paper-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=570%2C320&ssl=1 "Toilet Paper Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ****Other Vending Machine Applications**** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) > [Gold Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/gold-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [Buy Coffee Machine in Hong Kong](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/coffee-machine/) **Published:** June 23, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Bianchi Vending's coffee machine, launched in Hong Kong, offers innovative solutions for efficient refreshment areas across various environments. **Content:** ### **Made in Italy Quality!** Proudly introducing coffee machine from Bianchi Vending, Italy that was launched in Hong Kong in 2021.

At first glance, it looked like a typical beverage dispenser with bright Amstel branding and buttons. But when people approached: - They inserted coins or tapped their card… - Pressed a button… - **And nothing happened.** No can dropped. No drink came out. Instead, after a few seconds, a **screen lit up** with a gentle message like: > **“You’ve paused.”** > **“No reward. No distraction. Just a moment of doing nothing.”** > **“Enjoy the pause.”** Sometimes, soft ambient sounds or calming visuals accompanied the message. After the “pause” (about 10–15 seconds), the machine **refunded the money**—reinforcing that this wasn’t a sales tactic, but a **mindful intervention**. Do nothing for Beer Vending Machine!--- ### ? ****Purpose & Brand Message**** This wasn’t about selling beer on the spot. It was **anti-consumerist performance marketing** designed to: - Challenge the reflex to **always seek instant gratification** (like tapping, swiping, buying). - Create a **real, physical “pause”** in someone’s busy day. - Associate **Amstel** not just with beer, but with a **lifestyle of balance, presence, and human connection**. - Generate social media buzz through surprise and shareable confusion (“Why didn’t the machine work?!”). The campaign slogan—**“Do Nothing”**—was deliberately paradoxical in a culture obsessed with productivity. Amstel positioned itself as the brand that gives you permission to **stop, breathe, and reconnect—with yourself or others**. --- ### ? ****Reception & Impact**** - The vending machine stunt went **viral on Bulgarian social media**, with many people filming their confused reactions. - It sparked conversations about **mental well-being, digital burnout, and mindfulness**. - Critics praised it as **refreshingly non-salesy** for a beer brand. - It aligned with Amstel’s global repositioning away from “party” imagery toward **calm, authenticity, and quality time**. --- ### ✅ ****Key Takeaway**** > The **Amstel “Do Nothing” vending machine in Bulgaria** was **not a functional beer dispenser**—it was a **conceptual art piece and brand experience** designed to make people *pause*, reflect, and question their autopilot habits. > > It perfectly embodied Amstel’s message: **Sometimes, the most rewarding thing you can do… is nothing at all.** And yes—after your pause, you were free to enjoy a real Amstel beer… just not from that machine. ? --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Business Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/business-card-vending-machine/) > [Cosmetic Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmetic-vending-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [How a Yawn-Activated Coffee Machine Went Viral](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) **Published:** June 27, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A unique coffee machine dispenses coffee for yawns, creating a viral marketing success and receiving high praise for innovative engagement. **Content:** At first glance, the coffee machine looks pretty normal.

It maps their faces and waits for the telltale signs of a yawn. A yawn triggers a hot cup of coffee. The coffee company chosed the airport as a prime place full of weary passengers and plenty of yawning. Over the course of the marketing stunt, the machine reacted to 210 yawns. ### **Viral Impact & Legacy:** **Social Proof**: Social Media posts from 2013 hyped it as innovative, with users sharing the video and calling it a “Monday morning savior.” By 2020, it resurfaced in threads on quirky vending machines, alongside Coke’s karaoke dispensers. **Reception**: The stunt generated massive buzz—videos of confused yawns turning to grins racked up millions of views on YouTube. Media outlets praised it as “empathetic marketing,” with Adweek calling it an “exceedingly empathetic” twist on vending norms.

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")在香港大概沒有任何品牌能像雙妹嚜一樣博得大眾對一對姐妹的喜愛。 在19世紀末，香港已經是一個大型的交易場所，負責了中國大部分化妝品的進口。然而這些進口的化妝品往往因為價錢十分昂貴，而使這些產品幾乎只有外國人和一些貴族才有能力負擔。在這種情況下，馮福田先生看準了化妝品市場的擴張，在1898年透過他的公司 “廣生堂” 創辦了雙妹嚜化妝品。 對於雙妹嚜的取名，民間就流傳著兩個版本的故事：第一個是說當時馮福田先生在街上遇到了兩個美若天仙的女子，因而受到啟發；第二個故事是說有一個天使跟馮福田先生報夢，說兩個女子會為他帶來幸福。 無論哪個屬實，馮福田先生所創辦的雙妹嚜都獲得了空前的成功：雙妹嚜化妝品由於以低於進口化妝品十倍的價錢出售，而質量也差不多，因而獲得了當時廣大女性的喜愛。 “馮先生把產品的標準設得很高，所有的制料都是從法國和英國進口的 ” 廣生堂市場經理陳小姐說到。 當時雙妹嚜的化妝品由於太受歡迎，貨品經常在短短的一天內就被賣光。到了1912年，雙妹嚜在中國已經擁有20座工廠，另外在南亞也有3座。 雙妹嚜的成功在化妝品市場上掀起欣然大波，當時甚至還出現了許多雙妹嚜的偽造品，導致雙妹嚜公司經常要打官司解決問題。“雙妹嚜也是香港在品牌版權保護意識上的一個先驅.” 陳小姐補充到。 在封建社會裡，女性往往不被輕易允許外出，因此當時很難找到模特兒為公司宣傳或者試妝。因此當時在雙妹嚜的廣告或者商標上所看到的兩名女子實際上是由男性喬裝拍出來的。1920 年代，公司才用回女性做宣傳。 無論廣告上用的是不是女性，雙妹嚜無疑已經成為了每一個香港人心目中“優雅美麗” 的代名詞。盛極一時的雙妹嚜海報和日曆等各種家居裝飾成為了香港人心目中難以忘卻的回憶。直至現今，雙妹嚜的廣告已經成為了香港歷史的標誌，啟發了不少藝術家的靈感。 ******保持創新****** 很多品牌總會因為時代變遷而走向沒落，然而雙妹嚜的堅持創新和不斷的改善使雙妹嚜長期保持著自己的地位。 > **結合傳統與創新，隨著時代轉型… 這些都是使雙妹嚜成為香港文化標誌的元素。** > > 廣生堂市場經理陳小姐 就算是雙妹嚜那個飽含懷舊風味的商標，也正在隨著時代改變。商標上兩名女子所穿的旗袍由舊時的深色系，漸漸轉變為了現在的亮色，旗袍也來得比以前緊身，這都是一些貼近現代的設計。甚至到了冬天，雙妹嚜還會穿上羽絨。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [打開才知道的祕境-ZICO 椰子水自動售賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%a4%b0%e5%ad%90%e6%b0%b4%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e5%94%ae%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [音樂自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%9f%b3%e6%a8%82%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [意式薄餅自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%84%8f%e5%bc%8f%e8%96%84%e9%a4%85%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 自動販賣機 產品 --- ### [熱哄哄的咖哩飯！ 咖哩飯自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/咖哩飯自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在日本，一款由農家經營的咖哩飯自動販賣機引起了人們的關注。這部售賣即食咖哩飯的機器設置於德島縣的小食站「コインスナック御所24」，賣價300日圓，提供中辛和辛口兩種口味。農家吉本先生利用自家生產的上等稻米製作咖哩飯，並瞄準消費需求，持續經營這項業務，以便人們能享受到美味的日本咖哩。 **Content:** 在日本多元化的自動販賣機中，大家印象最深刻的是怎樣的自動販賣機呢？今次和大家介紹的，是由農家運作的 咖哩飯自動販賣機 \[**ボンカレーライス自動販売機**\] ！ --- 徳島縣12號鳴門池田線 (撫養街道) 附近，一間名叫「[コインスナック御所24](https://tabelog.com/tokushima/A3603/A360301/36006115/)」的小食站，24小時運作，裡面擺放的全都是自動販賣機。在這堆自動販賣機的中間，有一個紅色的「咖哩飯自動販賣機」，上面印有落語家笑福亭的肖像，十分有噱頭。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/%E5%92%96%E5%93%A9%E9%A3%AF%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E8%B2%A9%E8%B3%A3%E6%A9%9F2.jpg?resize=446%2C519&ssl=1 "咖哩飯自動販賣機2 -

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") 母雞布偶的精彩表演 美國的 Farm-fresh 自動販賣機就經常利用一些小玩笑來把顧客逗樂。而在歐洲和日本，雞蛋販賣機的娛樂性相對顯得有點不夠了，因為對於兩地農夫而言，這些販賣機要做的只是幫他們免去站路邊賣雞蛋的麻煩。 日前美國正在試行一套自動販賣機計劃，覆蓋範圍包含各個公眾場所。從紐約州的 Red Jacket Orchard 果汁，到格羅頓的 Finger Lakes 蘋果片和布朗克斯的 Sweet Sam’s 曲奇餅，這些都能在休息站的販賣機裡找到。在健康而言，利用自動販賣機售賣鮮奶和雞蛋確實是有點不太保險，然而隨著美國人民對自動販賣機的信心不斷提高，相信這些賣雞蛋的自動販賣機總有一天會被人民所接受。 目前政府部門已經在紐約市內安裝了10部農產品自動販賣機，並希望在這些販賣機獲得一定的人氣以後續添多幾部。政府部門的這個舉動意味著這是他們首次支持售賣當地美食的自動販賣機。 比起實體店，甚至是農產品市場，自動販賣機為各方面所帶來的好處是非常之多的。首先，自動販賣機並不需要花費金錢去聘請職員協助運作；除此之外，有別於一般商店，自動販賣機能夠一星期內7天都保持運作。要是政府部門這次計劃發展成功的話，按照這個趨勢，農產品自動販賣機將會成為美國人民生活中的一個實用品，為那些沒加入社區農業支持（Community-supported agriculture）或沒機會拜訪農產品市場的人帶來更新鮮的農產品。 政府部門利用人流多的休息站推廣本地食物的想法，使人民意識到獲取本地食物是多麼的方便，特別是當整個操作只是需要運用一部自動販賣機的時候。 而這不僅是有效地做到了本地食物上推廣的效果，還無形中增加了農民們的收入，農產品的品牌認受性也在不斷地提高。舉例而言，在使用自動販賣機購買農產品後，買家或許會因為看到農產品的出產農場而產生想去拜訪一下的念頭，因而發掘到更加多的農產品，甚至開始直接在農場購物。 利用獨特的方法去推廣本地食物應該是一種全國性的措施。就像一些當地政府因為有著強烈推廣本地食物的熱情，因而將本地食物放置了在老兵的家、醫院、學校和政府的辦公室裡。 ![雞蛋 自動販賣機](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Egg-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C582&ssl=1 "雞蛋 自動販賣機 -

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Rollasole 的平底鞋穿起來十分柔軟，可以捲起來放進一個塑料杯套住，再透過自動販賣機出售。根據 Rollasole 公司的聲明，他們公司出產的鞋子是絕對可回收的，這樣子就不會為堆填區帶來太多不可分解的廢棄鞋子了。 Ashley Ross 和 Lindsay Klimitz 還在計劃生產設計更多元化的鞋子，像有金絲繡、鑲上水鑽、圓點花紋或者豹紋，希望能滿足更多客戶的喜好。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/%E5%B9%B3%E5%BA%95%E9%9E%8B%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E8%B2%A9%E8%B3%A3%E6%A9%9F-Rollasole3.jpg?resize=1024%2C639&ssl=1 "平底鞋自動販賣機-Rollasole3 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")一般而言，參加晚會的女性都是穿著長裙，手提包和一雙高跟鞋。而對於 Ross 而言，在離場的時候把高跟鞋脫掉然後赤腳回家時是無法忍受的事情。 Klimitz 也很同意 Ross 的看法，並補充到：「我們兩個都不是很喜歡赤腳走路。我明白現在很多女性都對這種行為不感到反感，畢竟穿著高跟鞋走路實在是一種折磨，她們無法忍受。然而像是我和Ross這種人，我們寧可忍受痛楚也不想赤腳走路。」 無論是不是參加晚宴的女性，穿上高跟鞋就意味著你將會獲得一雙酸痛的腳丫，這對於所有女性而言都是一個無奈的事實。在擺脫高跟鞋以前，女性一般都能忍受多久的痛楚呢？對於 Ross 而言，她認為大部分的女性都只能支撐兩個小時，至於那些喝多了的女性，一般都只能撐一個小時。 自律、朋輩壓力和創可貼，也許這三種辦法能讓女性容忍高跟鞋為她們帶來的痛楚。而現在Rollasole 的這部自動販賣機無疑成為了高跟鞋問題的最佳良藥，獲得了不只是女性們的支持。 根據夜店老闆的講述，因為這些平底鞋，女性顧客們平均都會花上比以往40分鐘更多的時間留在店裡喝酒，這為店裡帶來了更加多的收入。 男性們也受到了平底鞋的恩惠：女性們除了會花上更長的時間留在店裡，而且也少了抱怨腳痛的謾罵聲，這令許多男性都成功覓到女伴。 目前為止，已經有三部平底鞋自動販賣機被放置在拉斯維加斯，一部在 Tao 夜店對面的 Venetian 酒店裡，一部在Hard Rock賭場裡的Vanity，一部在 Tropicana。 以19.95美元的售價，現在女性們再也不需要像 Ross 和 Klimitz 的朋友一樣，每次都要帶上一對拖鞋來夜店玩了，至於其他女性也不必再羨慕那位朋友的機智了。 也許不穿高跟鞋才是治腳痛最好的方法，然而既然 Ross 和 Klimitz 都異口同聲地否決了這個說法，也許治腳痛的方法應該是穿上 Rollasole的鞋才對吧？ --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [熱騰騰的意大利粉! 意大利粉自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%84%8f%e5%a4%a7%e5%88%a9%e7%b2%89%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [為貧民區提供主食, 食物自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%a3%9f%e7%89%a9%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [世界首部 黃金自動販賣機 還有守衛監視呢！](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%bb%83%e9%87%91%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 自動販賣機 產品 --- ### [世界首部 黃金自動販賣機 還有守衛監視呢！](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/黃金自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在阿聯酋皇宮酒店大堂，設有全球首部常駐的黃金自動販賣機“Gold To Go”。這台由Ex Oriente Lux AG創造的機器，提供多種24K黃金首飾與金條，並需有武裝守衛守護。產品根據金市場報價調整，購買後可退貨，並附有酒店LOGO，適合作為紀念品，付款方式支持現金與信用卡。 **Content:** 在阿聯酋皇宮酒店大堂裡安置了一部 黃金自動販賣機, 當時還是世界上首部常駐的 黃金自動販賣機. 機器裡面有不同種類和形狀的 24K 黃金首飾，全部都非常昂貴。 --- ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/%E9%BB%83%E9%87%91%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E8%B2%A9%E8%B3%A3%E6%A9%9F3.jpg?resize=800%2C533&ssl=1 "黃金自動販賣機3 -

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")**了解咖啡** 咖啡是這個世界上最有價值的交易食物貨品，每天就有超過22.5億杯咖啡被喝掉。 咖啡在作為腦袋燃料上出奇的效果讓咖啡裡含有的咖啡因無疑成為了世界上最受歡迎的精神藥劑。結合人類的生物科技，大自然給予我們的咖啡樹確實是帶我們走上了一條發展人文的捷徑。 “事實上，美國85%的人口每天都在消耗着咖啡因。”全國消費者聯盟的執行總監Sally Greenberg說到，“然而在我們知道如何獲得咖啡並大量消耗的同時，許多美國人對咖啡並不了解。” 咖啡因這種收到世界喜愛的刺激物其實是咖啡樹的一種自我保護機制。咖啡因的苦味是用來防止草食動物、昆蟲或者其他疾病將咖啡樹侵食而生的，同時也在警告著一些寄生植物這植物並不好惹。 然而部分動物卻不抗拒這種苦味，這也意味著他們將會很喜歡咖啡。我們人類就是一個很好的例子，蜜蜂也是。當蜜蜂攝取了咖啡中的咖啡因時，這種刺激物對於蜜蜂所起的作用是和我們人類所體驗的一樣的。但不同於人類的是，咖啡樹和蜜蜂是相愛的，因為蜜蜂在攝取咖啡因的同時，也幫助了咖啡樹授粉繁殖。 **腦袋與咖啡因** 當咖啡因影響腦袋時，會對一種叫腺苷的神經遞質進行壓制。而當咖啡因阻止了腺苷的分泌後，便會開始刺激腦部分泌出更多的谷氨酸和多巴胺，這將會提供給你大量的能量，促進思維，甚至能減慢思維老化的速度。咖啡因還能夠增加體內的血清素，一種影響人類情緒的神經遞質，這能使你感到更加正面，還能夠抵抗抑鬱的情緒。因此，早上的一杯咖啡可以說是足以影響你一天的心情了。 有研究也反映，咖啡因能夠提高10%的學習效率。咖啡因還能夠藉放鬆正在擴張的血管，舒緩頭痛和偏頭痛。以上種種都使咖啡成為了提高腦袋運作效率的最佳良藥。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [打印文件沒有墨水?! 打印機墨盒自動販賣機!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%89%93%e5%8d%b0%e6%a9%9f%e5%a2%a8%e7%9b%92%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [惊奇日本潮流篇: 印章自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%8d%b0%e7%ab%a0%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [免費食物 賑災自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e8%b3%91%e7%81%bd%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 自動販賣機 主意 --- ### [新鮮 法國麵包自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/法國麵包自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 法國麵包師傅Jean-Louis Hecht發明了名為“Pani Vending”的法式長棍麵包自動販賣機，能提供新鮮烤製的麵包，該機器在法國及俄羅斯運行，已售出11,000條麵包，並顯著提高了營業額。Hecht希望在未來能全球推廣這部機器，解決缺乏麵包店的問題，並提升顧客購買的便利性。 **Content:** 法國人非常喜歡麵包，這是一件眾所周知的事，就算是自動販賣機的麵包也不例外。法國麵包師傅 Jean-Louis Hecht 的獲獎發明 ‘法國麵包自動販賣機’ 不僅能在任何時候向顧客提供新鮮烤好的法式長棍麵包，同時它的收入還能為投資者承擔購買麵團的支出。 --- 57歲的Hecht在贏得法國年度Lepine競賽的發明獎後，解釋他發明這部名為 “Pani Vending” 的自動販賣機的靈感源於他希望能在傍晚陪伴家人的想法，因為總有一些傲慢的顧客在麵包店快要關門的時候要求他烘烤新鮮的麵包，這令Hecht忙得沒辦法陪伴家人。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/%E6%B3%95%E5%9C%8B%E9%BA%B5%E5%8C%85%E6%A9%9F1.jpg?resize=1024%2C578&ssl=1 "法國麵包機1 -

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")**牙膏有保質期嗎?** 細心的人們不難發現，有的牙膏上註明了保質期，但是有的卻沒有，針對這樣的情況，牙科醫生表示，牙膏是有保質期的，牙膏中所含的化學物存放一定時間後會發生化學反應，尤其是已經開口的牙膏，最好在一兩個月內用完. **刷牙時牙膏越多效果越好？** 牙膏廣告中的人擠牙膏都會擠滿牙刷的表面，這樣做只是為了廣告效果，看起來更好看而已，事實上正常的用量根本不需要擠滿整個牙刷的表面，只需要豌豆大小的量就足夠了，擠多了也只是浪費，並不會起到更好的效果 **養成喝茶的好習慣** 茶是一種非常健康和有品位的飲料，同時對於牙齒的美白和口腔的清香都是非常有幫助的。首先，茶葉裏含有豐富的人體需要的微量元素以及具有殺菌的作用，對於防止蛀牙等都非常有效。紅茶、綠茶都有各自的絕妙之處。 **多吃美白牙齒的食物** 對於牙齒的美白。如芹菜，芹菜含有豐富的纖維，可以通過很好的咀嚼來分泌更多唾液，同時，纖維的咀嚼更好的清理牙齒 ;其次，如含維生素C豐富的橙子、香蕉等，可以很好的補充牙齒需要的維生素，使得牙齒更加堅固。 **多嚼口香糖，但是避免含糖口香糖** 日常多嚼口香糖的作用主要是為了牙齒，因為可以刺激分泌更多的唾液，保存口腔酸鹼性及細菌的滋生，唾液起到很好的保護牙齒的作用。但是，要注意，儘量少嚼含糖的口香糖，糖類對牙齒的傷害是大家有目共睹的。 **牙刷的選擇，多用軟毛牙刷** 過於重的清理牙齒，會把牙齒自然的那層保護膜也給破壞，所以儘量使用軟毛牙刷，更好的保障牙齒的健康。 **不要急於求成，過量洗牙** 經常洗牙還是有一定的危害的，經常洗牙會導致牙齒縫越來越大，食物殘渣和各種細菌等更加容易依附在上面，經常洗牙的朋友應該會有這樣的感受，就是牙齒特別容易髒，沒洗多久就又跟以前一樣了。所以，多注意日常牙齒的護理，才是牙齒健康最重要的。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [世界首部 黃金自動販賣機 還有守衛監視呢！](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e9%bb%83%e9%87%91%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [Onitsuka Tiger 波鞋自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%b3%a2%e9%9e%8b-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [真正的 汽車自動販賣機! 投入巨型硬幣吧!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%b1%bd%e8%bb%8a%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 自動販賣機 主意 --- ### [廉價T恤販賣機的社會實驗](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/2-歐元-t恤-自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在柏林，非牟利組織Fashion Revolution進行了一項社會實驗，設置了廉價T恤販賣機，售價僅為2歐元。但購買前，顧客需觀看關於衣服生產過程的視頻，揭示了低價背後的剝削勞工的現實。結果顯示，大部分顧客選擇捐款而非購買，凸顯了對服裝背後人權問題的關注。 **Content:** ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2%E6%AD%90%E5%85%83T%E6%81%A41.jpg?resize=1024%2C509&ssl=1 "2歐元T恤1 -

This creative project was developed on the basis that it would be great if single men were as easy to find as a can of Coke. So Flossie had the idea of a big vending machine packed full of real live single men to satisfy women of all ages. They auditioned all the men to check they were not mental cases, think Britain’s Got Talent, but with hotties. ### ? ****Flossie Magazine: The Backstory**** - **Flossie** was a bold, irreverent **New Zealand women’s magazine** (2006–2010) known for its feminist edge, humor, and rejection of traditional “glossy” magazine tropes. - Tagline: *“For women who don’t take themselves too seriously—but take their rights seriously.”* - It covered politics, sex, art, and pop culture—often with a satirical twist. --- ### ? ****The “Single Girl Vending Machine” (Late 2008)**** In **November 2008**, as a stunt for its **“Single Issue”**, *Flossie* installed a custom-built **vending machine in central Auckland** (outside the **Flossie office on Ponsonby Road** and later at **Silo Park**) with the tagline: > **“Whatever you need – it’s on us.”** But this wasn’t a machine for snacks or drinks. It dispensed **ironic, heartfelt, and absurd “essentials” for single women**, curated as both **art and social commentary**. ### ? ****What Did It Dispense?**** For **free** (or a gold coin donation to charity), users could press a button and receive one of these curated packages: **“Emergency Boyfriend”**A life-sized cardboard cutout of a charming man (with detachable arms for hugging)**“Single Girl Survival Kit”**Wine mini, chocolate, bath bomb, and a note:*“You’re awesome alone.”***“Dating Bingo Card”**Track cliché pickup lines like “Do you believe in love at first sight?”**“Breakup Revenge Kit”**Confetti popper, fake diamond ring, and a vial labeled “His Tears” (water)**“Future Wife Application Form”**Satirical “job posting” for a husband—“Must love dogs, tolerate my opinions.”**“Loneliness Antidote”**A coupon for a free coffee + a handwritten note from a stranger:*“You matter.”*Each item was **hand-assembled**, wrapped in pink paper, and dropped with a cheerful *clunk*—like a vending machine, but with soul. --- ### ? ****Why Was It “Brilliantly Strange”?**** - **Subverted expectations**: Instead of selling products, it **gave away emotional support disguised as kitsch**. - **Challenged stigma**: It celebrated singledom at a time when media often framed it as a “problem” to fix. - **Public art + activism**: The machine sparked conversations about **loneliness, societal pressure, and female autonomy**. - **Media sensation**: Covered by **NZ Herald**, **Stuff.co.nz**, and **Radio New Zealand**—with lines forming to “get your boyfriend.” > “It’s not about finding a man,” said Flossie editor **Kate Smith** in 2008. “It’s about saying: *My worth isn’t tied to my relationship status—and if I want a cardboard Chris Hemsworth to watch Netflix with, that’s my business.*” --- ### ****Cultural Context: NZ in 2008**** - Post-global financial crisis: rising anxiety, but also a hunger for community and humor. - Growing feminist discourse in NZ media. - Vending machines were typically utilitarian—this one was **theatrical, generous, and human**. --- ### ? ****Legacy**** - The machine toured **Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch** for six weeks. - After Flossie magazine folded in **2010**, the original machine was **donated to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa** as a piece of **contemporary social history** (though not currently on display). - It’s now remembered as a **pioneering example of feminist design** and **experiential publishing**. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine for Education](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Do nothing for Beer Vending Machine!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [Literacy Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/literacy-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Idea --- ### [Creative Uses of Vending Machines for Political Promotion](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/political-campaign-vending-machine/) **Published:** July 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A vending machine was innovatively utilised for advertising in a political campaign, showcasing various other vending machine applications. **Content:** Vending machine was used cleverly for advertisement in this political campaign vending machine. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Guerrilla-Obama-Support.jpeg?resize=600%2C444&ssl=1 "Political Campaign Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Staple Food Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/staple-food-vending-machine/) > [Holiday!

This collaboration launched as a stylish solution for forgetful guests wanting a spontaneous dip, blending luxury hospitality with surf-inspired apparel. It debuted in 2009 and evolved through seasonal updates, emphasizing 24/7 convenience and local flair. ### **What It Was** - **Concept**: High-tech vending machines stocked with limited-edition swimsuits—no more skipping the pool because you packed light. The machines feature touchscreens for product previews, credit card payments, and even live video streaming of the pool vibe. Beyond suits, some stocked extras like $10 zines, local artwork, or sunscreen. - **Products**: - **Men’s Boardshorts**: Ultralightweight, rash-preventing “diamond dobby” stretch fabric with retro scalloped legs. Priced at $75, they came in waterproof travel bags and featured “Quik City Guides” printed on the waistbands—hand-scribbled recommendations from Quiksilver’s creative director Natas Kaupas for city hotspots (e.g., “Art Undercover” in LA, “Comida is Cuban” in Miami). - **Women’s Bikinis**: A sleek, reversible black style with three-button details, priced at $84–$88. Limited options, but designed for quick poolside style. - **Sizes and Styles**: Boardshorts in even waists (30–36); bikinis in three sizes. City-specific designs tied to Standard’s locations. - **Purpose**: To extend the “24/7 lifestyle” of Standard Hotels, letting guests outfit themselves anytime—even late-night—without hitting a store. It was a progressive marketing play, reaching impulse buyers in a fun, experiential way. ### **When and Where** - **Launch and Timeline**: Kicked off August 8, 2009, with the first machine in Los Angeles. Expanded in 2010 with new drops (boardshorts, bikinis, and sunglasses) and continued seasonally through at least 2011–2012, including summer collabs. - **Locations**: Poolside or stairwell setups at Standard Hotels’ flagship spots: - Downtown LA (rooftop kickoff party). - Hollywood, LA. - Miami Beach (near the swanky pool). - New York City (e.g., at Le Bain rooftop bar). - **Availability**: Also sold in hotel boutiques, online at shopthestandard.com, and via Quiksilver channels. Machines were custom-built for seamless integration. ### **Impact and Legacy** This was ahead-of-its-time experiential retail, turning vending into a luxury perk and boosting Quiksilver’s urban cred. It drew buzz for empowering “accidental” pool-goers and tying into local culture—perfect for Standard’s hip, see-and-be-seen vibe. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Swimsuit-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=450%2C299&ssl=1 "Swimsuit Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") ### ****History of Bikini**** Although two-piece bathing suits were being used by women as early as the 1930s, the bikini is commonly dated to July 5, 1946, when, partly due to material rationing after World War II, French engineer Louis Réard introduced the modern bikini, modeled by Micheline Bernardini. Reard named his design for the Bikini Atoll, where the first post-war tests of the atomic bomb were taking place. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Dynamic Pricing: Coca-Cola’s Summer Vending Machine Experiment](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-price-adjust-with-outdoor-temperature/) > [14-Year-Old Entrepreneur Creates First Aid Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/first-aid-vending-machine/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Product --- ### [南大阪的牛奶紙盒自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/牛奶紙盒自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 南大阪的難波區充滿了遊客和商店，曾有一部外形像牛奶紙盒的自動販賣機，名為「森永牛乳」。這引發了對紙裝牛奶歷史的探索。美國玩具製造商約翰·范沃默於1915年獲得紙盒包裝專利，但消費者對新包裝接受的過程漫長，長達20年。最終，由於玻璃價格上升，他的創新被其他公司效仿，紙盒牛奶的生產迅速增長。 **Content:** 南大阪，是大阪人統稱由[道頓堀](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/%E9%81%93%E9%A0%93%E5%A0%80)至[心斎橋](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BF%83%E9%BD%8B%E6%A9%8B)一帶的「難波區」，那裡充滿遊客和各式各樣的商店，也曾經有一部外型十分搶眼的 牛奶紙盒自動販賣機! ![牛奶盒子自動販賣機](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_0.jpg?resize=512%2C384&ssl=1 "牛奶盒子自動販賣機 -

Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")雨傘是根據天氣而定的一種日常用品，因此，作為日常用品的雨傘，人們並不傾向於花上大筆的金錢去購買所謂的名牌雨傘，更加不會有人以買雨傘為目的到處選購，所以市面上專門買雨傘的商店幾乎是沒有的。雨傘而已，下雨沒傘，直接隨便買一把不就好了？ 其實雨傘並不一定是在雨天才能派上用場。在炎熱、太陽普照的盛夏，街上為了遮擋陽光而打傘的人也不是沒有的。雨傘自動販賣機所賣的雨傘就是打著“能阻隔90%的紫外線”的口號吸引買家的。至於雨傘的顏色，也許這也是另一個人們買傘不是為了擋雨的原因，因為人們希望雨傘的顏色能夠更好的搭配今天的服飾，使自己顯得更加時尚。 將雨傘自動販賣機放置在地鐵站內是一個很聰明的想法。地鐵站是一個人流眾多的地方，把自動販賣機放置在地鐵站裡可以更有效地吸引潛在客戶在離開地鐵站回家前購買雨傘。 ### ******簡易性****** 自動販賣機應該是世界上最簡單的交易工具。在香港，能使用八達通付款的這項功能已經大大提高了使用自動販賣機的簡易性。八達通是一種電子付款系統，因為是用於在交通工具包括火車、巴士、電車、小巴和渡輪付款上而迅速普及全港。其他接受八達通付款的地方包括星巴克、麥當勞、7-11和香港的停車錶等等。能夠利用八達通付款意味著更加快捷迅速、無需找零的交易流程。現在大部分的香港市民都擁有一張自己的八達通。 透過自動販賣機購買雨傘的方法非常的簡單，只需要兩個步驟就可以完成交易：第一步，先用八達通付款；第二步，選擇顏色；完成！ ULA雨傘自動販賣機地點 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [連漫畫也有賣? 地鐵內的 漫畫自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%bc%ab%e7%95%ab%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [男友 自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%b7%e5%8f%8b-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [熱哄哄的咖哩飯！ 咖哩飯自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%92%96%e5%93%a9%e9%a3%af%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 自動販賣機 產品 --- ### [探索香港的郵票自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/郵票自動販賣機/) **Published:** July 13, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 香港的郵票自動販賣機擁有悠久的歷史。第一部自動販賣機出現在1615年的英國，最初是販賣香煙。到了1822年，Richard Carlile發明了報紙販賣機，1867年Simeon Denham首創的郵票自動販賣機獲得專利，成為全自動販賣機的先驅。郵票自動販賣機的發展反映了自動販賣技術的演變。 **Content:** 一起來看看香港的 郵票自動販賣機! ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Stamp-Vending-Machine-outside-Post-Office.jpg?resize=596%2C339&ssl=1 "郵票 自動販賣機 -

Ruins of St. Paul** Traveling Macau without visiting the Ruins of St Paul literally means not visiting Macau attractions at all. It is one of the most visited Macau attraction. Originally built in 17th century, it was destroyed by fire in 1835 & what remains till today is the facade of the Church & St Paul’s college. ### ****2. Senado Square**** Senado Square has been Macau’s urban centre for centuries & still a popular venue for celebrations. It is paved with a wave-patterned mosaic colored stones created by the Portuguese. ### ****3. Venetian Macau**** Venetian Macau is the world largest casino and one of Asia’s most exciting entertainment destination. Nowhere else in Asia will you find such a rare combination of facilities, attractions and amenities. All 3,000 of its room are suites, each with more than 70 sqm of space and lavish Italian marble bathrooms take luxury to a new level. Experience shopping with over 350 international shops, be dazzled by the street performers, or take a ride on an authentic Venetian gondola, all at the resort. ### ****4. A Ma Temple**** Macau’s name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma and this temple dedicated to the seafarers’ goddess dates from the early 16th century. According to legend, A-Ma, a poor girl looking for passage to Canton, was refused by the wealthy junk owners but a lowly fisherman took her on board. A storm blew up and wrecked all but the boat carrying the girl. On arrival in Macau she vanished, to reappear as a goddess, on the spot where the fishermen built her temple. ### ****5. Macau Fisherman’s Wharf**** Macau Fisherman’s Wharf is a 111,500m² park and the first-ever cultural, themed and creative attraction in the tourism industry of Macau. Centrally located in the outer harbour and it is not purely a theme park, but also combines dining, shopping, entertainment, accommodation, convention and exhibition facilities in one single location which takes just a 5-minute walk from the Macau-HK Ferry Terminal and Heliport. ### ****6. Macau Tower**** Soaring 338 meters above the city, the Macau Tower is the 10th highest freestanding tower in the world and the 8th tallest in Asia. At the Outdoor Observation Deck the Tower dominates the skyline and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Macau cityscape, China, the Pearl River and even some islands of Hong Kong on a clear day. There is also a Revolving Tower Restaurant seating 250 persons which takes 60 minutes to make one revolution. ### ****7. Kun Iam Statue**** This statue is dedicated to Goddess of Mercy. It is 20 meters tall and made of special bronze. The dome shape base like a lotus flower, is an ecumenical centre where information is available on Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. ### ****8. Wine & Grand Prix Museum**** Situated just side by side, Macau Wine & Grand Prix Museum is one of the interesting places to visit in Macau. The Wine Museum is the only one of its kind in Asia. One of the main targets of Wine Museum is to bring the visitor into contact with the social, economical and cultural importance of the wine in the Portuguese tradition, daily life and celebration rituals. The visitor can even taste different types of wine (wine tasting – “Prova de vinhos”), a unique experience for only a small price. The Grand Prix Museum in Macau contains exhibits that are related to Grand Prix worldwide including photos, videos, illustrated articles, cups, records of champions and some commemorative items. It was built in 1933 in memory of the 40th anniversary of Grand Prix Racing in Macau and is located in the Tourism Activities Center on Rua Luis Gonzaga Gomes. ### **9. St Lawrence Church** This is probably the richest & most beautiful church in Macau, not only of its decorations but also because of the objects displayed in the church. Originally it was built by wood in 16th century, renovated to the existing one from the 19th century. ### **10. Greayhound Racing** Macau Greyhound Racing takes place at the Canidrome on Avenida General Castelo Branco. These races are held on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and weekends starting from 7:45 p.m. and there are 16 games on every racing evenings. ### **11. Guia Fortress** Guia Fortress was initially designed to defend Macau from attacks from the sea, but because of its position overlooking the entire city, its chief value has been as an observation post.

The Guia Fortress was a restricted military area until 1976 when it opened as a major tourist attraction. ### **12. City of Dreams** City of Dreams is a unique integrated resort combining electrifying entertainment, an amazing array of accommodation, regional and international dining, as well as designer brand shopping. With The Bubble, a spectacular multi-media attraction and The Boulevard, a chic lifestyle precinct encompassing entertainment, restaurants and shopping boutiques, City of Dreams is the must-experience destination in Macau. ### ****13.

The theatre is an important landmark in the region and remains a venue for important public events and celebrations today. The theatre is neo-classical in design, incorporating a portico front on a rectilinear plan. ### ****14. Macau Museum**** Macau Museum was inaugurated in 1998. Its aim is to preserve the cultural traditions, usages and habits, which specifically belong to Macau, in a place where East, and West have so peculiarly learned how to meet and to live side by side along the centuries. ### ****15. Camoes Garden**** Camoes Garden and Grotto, is Macau’s largest park & one of the oldest parks. After the British moved out in 1835, it was bought over by a Portuguese merchant, who later built his resident house there. The merchant adored raising doves and his hundreds of doves always hovered near the garden, forming a marvelous scene famous near and far. After the death of the merchant, the garden was donated to the government and later opened to public as a memorial garden dedicated to Louis de Camoes, a famous Portuguese poet who lived four hundred years ago. Hence the name Luis de Camoes Garden. It is a popular spot for locals to do their morning exercises, to play chess, to walk their caged birds or to meet with friends. --- ### ******Other Articles****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Trainers Vending Machine, Onitsuka Tiger](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/onitsuka-tiger-trainers-vending-machine/) > [Office Supplies Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/office-supplies-vending-machine/) > [Pizza vending machine (London)](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pizza-vending-machines/) **Categories:** Vending Machine Knowledge | History, Trends & Innovations – Vanyu-Fuji --- ### [Dynamic Pricing: Coca-Cola's Summer Vending Machine Experiment](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-price-adjust-with-outdoor-temperature/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Coca-Cola Spain's 2011 vending machines adjusted lemonade prices based on temperature, encouraging summer sales and enhancing brand engagement. **Content:** In a clever twist on dynamic pricing, Coca-Cola Spain (via its agency Momentum) launched 18 experimental vending machines in 2011–2012 that adjusted the cost of their Minute Maid lemonade drink, **Limon & Nada** (a zero-calorie lemon beverage), based on outdoor temperature. Unlike the controversial 1999 prototype that *raised* prices in heat (quickly scrapped due to backlash), this campaign *lowered* them as temps rose—encouraging impulse buys during summer scorchers and boosting brand love. Placed at high-traffic water parks and amusement attractions, it ran through the summer months to drive trials of the thirst-quenching product. ****How the Pricing Worked**** The machines used built-in sensors and software to monitor real-time weather data, displaying the current price on a digital screen. No coins needed—payments via card or contactless. The hotter it got, the bigger the discount, turning the heat into a sales ally: Temperature Range (Fahrenheit)Equivalent (°C)Price per Can (€)Discount from BaseBelow 84°F (<29°C)Cool/Mild2.00None (base price)84–85.9°F (29–30°C)Warm1.4030% off86°F+ (>30°C)Hot1.0050% off- **Why Lower Prices?** A Coke rep explained it was about “increasing trial of Limon & Nada as a thirst quencher in the summer heat,” not gouging customers. It gamified the purchase: Spot the dropping price, feel the relief. - **The Tech**: Simple thermometer-linked chip (no fancy AI)—updates every few minutes. Machines also flashed fun messages like “¡Calor? ¡Refréscate con Limon & Nada!” (Heat? Refresh with Limon & Nada!). ### ****Impact and Legacy**** - **Success**: Viral hit—media buzz from NYT to Ad Age, with videos showing delighted crowds snagging bargains. Boosted Limon & Nada sales in test spots without alienating users. > 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. > > Carrie Brown, Coke spokeswoman Lemonade Vending Machines Base Pricing on Outside Temperature --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Pajamas Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pajamas-vending-machine/) > [Seal Vending Machine – DIY your seal](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/seal-vending-machine/) > [Yawn-activated Coffee Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/yawn-activated-coffee-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Revolutionary Vending Machines: Facial Recognition and Your Snacks](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-uses-facial-recognition-deny-snacks/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Smart vending machines use facial recognition to personalise snack access but raise privacy concerns and potential workarounds for unsupervised purchasing. **Content:** Now it’s no longer your mom reminding you not to eat that [Twinkie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

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. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [India’s First Automatic Seed Dispenser: A Game Changer](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/seed-vending-machine/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Food for Dog Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/empty-bottle-food-for-stray-dog-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Emergency Contraception in Vending Machines: A New Trend](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-emergency-contraception/) **Published:** August 16, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Shippensburg University now offers Plan B emergency contraception via a vending machine, promoting privacy and student support for access. **Content:** Contraception Vending machine offerings at a Pennsylvania university are expanding beyond the world of junk food and into the world of contraception. [Shippensburg University](https://www.ship.edu/) 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.

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. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Telephone Sim Card Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/telephone-sim-card-vending-machine/) > [Salvation Army Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/salvation-army-vending-machine/) > [Curry Rice Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/curry-rice-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [UNIQLO's Tokyo: The World's Largest Vending Machine Shop](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/world-biggest-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 17, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** UNIQLO in Tokyo's Harajuku launches the world's largest vending machine, featuring exclusively T-shirt dispensers in a trendy setting. **Content:** When is a vending machine not a vending machine?

While the idea is not new to the city, the machines installed in Sulabh toilets and the ones in the RTC bus stations were not finding many takers as they are not well maintained. Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad’s plan to construct nearly 100 modern toilet complexes in the city has come as a shot in the arm for the APSACS. Of the 100 planned modern toilets, over 50 has already been finished in different parts of the city. According to Kallol Mukherjee of the Technical Resource Unit, APSACS already maintains 200 condom vending machines, with 80 being inside toilets. APSACS also has condom vending machines in toilets of various cinema theatres. “We realised that the public are not very comfortable with using condom vending machines in open places,” Mukherjee said. APSACS figures also substantiate the apprehension. The vending machines installed in public toilets saw a 70 per cent increase in the daily movement of condoms. In a recently undertaken pilot project, the Delhi State Aids Control Society installed condom vending machines in toilets of the secretariat. Much to their surprise, nearly 4,000 condoms were picked up by the secretariat officials and employees in just two days. According to Mukherjee, the idea is to take the total number of such safe sex vending machine to 500 before the end of this financial year. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Computer Memory Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/computer-memory-vending-machine/) > [Vodka Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vodka-vending-machine/) > [Giving Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/giving-vending-machines/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Nottinghamshire Farm Launches Fresh Milk Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/milk-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 18, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A Nottinghamshire dairy farm has installed a milk vending machine, providing fresher produce and fairer prices for farmers. **Content:** **A Nottinghamshire dairy farm has installed a fresh milk vending machine at the end of its drive to bring customers fresher produce.** New Holbeck Farm, near Southwell, decided to invest in the technology after falling UK milk prices left some farms saying they were being paid less per litre than it costs them to produce the liquid. The farm is behind the Real Milk Company and is on the way to obtaining organic farm status. Milk from the machine costs £1 a litre and comes straight from the farms cows. It is pasteurised before sale and the machine can also steam cleans itself after every use. Farmer Tom Sharman said: “We decided that after being fed up with being paid such low prices for milk, we needed to do something about it. We researched into milk vending machine which is very popular in Europe and we found a distributor – another dairy farmer from Norfolk – who had one to sell his raw milk and so I spoke to him and arranged one for our own.” ### **Fun context** This setup revives the milkman era while cutting out middlemen, letting farmers earn fairer prices. It’s popular with locals for its taste (“like milk should”) and community feel—visitors often spot walkers popping by. Part of a UK trend (hundreds of milk machines now), but this one’s a Nottinghamshire gem amid rolling countryside. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Lottery Ticket Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/lottery-ticket-vending-machine/) > [Art-O-Mat: Transforming Cigarette Machines into Art Dispensers](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/cosmos-art-o-mat-machines/) > [Inside the World’s Largest Luxury Car Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/luxury-car-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [The Rise of Raw Milk Vending in Europe](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/raw-milk-vending-machine-europe/) **Published:** August 19, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** European raw milk vending machines attract customers, contrasting starkly with restrictions in North America due to health concerns. **Content:** Raw milk vending machine is drawing plenty of European customers and increasing amount of envy from raw milk advocates in the United States. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Raw-Milk-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=1024%2C633&ssl=1 "Raw Milk Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Europe’s embrace of raw milk vending machines isn’t new. Such daring dispensers of unpasteurized dairy can be found in France, Croatia, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and all over the place in Italy. In Solvenia, local dairy farmer Marko Bitenc refills his machine with fresh milk once a day. Because he owns and operates the machine, there is no middle man between farmer and consumers — just a few buttons and a spout. If the milk rises above a certain temperature set by the Slovenian Administration for Food and Safety, sales stop and Bitenc’s phone buzzes with a text message alert. A UV light sterilizes the milk spout between purchases. ### ****At North America**** Seven states in America and all of Canada ban the sale of raw milk due its potential to carry a range of harmful diseases such as listeria. In other states, selling raw dairy products requires dairy farmers and sellers to navigate a tricky set of regulations. A misstep can lead to dramatic SWAT-style raids, court cases and even jail time. But raw milk advocates don’t see Europe’s vending machines as a way to eliminate the risks. Rather, they would like the chance to assume those risks and enjoy the taste of raw milk at the press of a button. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Contraception vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vending-machine-emergency-contraception/) > [Do nothing for Beer Vending Machine!](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/do-nothing-for-beer-vending-machine/) > [Dirty Water Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dirty-water-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [How Bitcoin Vending Machines Are Changing Cryptocurrency Access](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/bitcoin-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 19, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Albuquerque becomes the first U.S. city to install a Bitcoin vending machine, enabling cash-to-cryptocurrency transactions amid regulatory challenges. **Content:** Not tech-obsessed San Francisco or New York has claimed the title of first city to install an operational Bitcoin vending machine in the U.S. The machine is up and running, as of Tuesday, at a cigar shop called Imbibe near the University of New Mexico, according to an announcement by Lamassu, the machine’s manufacturer. The vending machine allows people to insert cash and gives a digital stash of the increasingly popular cryptocurrency. ![Bitcoin Vending Machine](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Bitcoin-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=950%2C534&ssl=1 "Bitcoin Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")This is my current contribution to advancing Bitcoin into the mainstream,” [Eric Stromberg](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericlstromberg/), owner of the Albuquerque Bitcoin vending machine said. Though the machines have been hailed as Bitcoin “ATMs” Lamassu eschewed the term in favor of “vending machine” since the device does not function like a true ATM in that it doesn’t dispense cash. A true Bitcoin ATM might not be far behind, though. Robocoin, a Las Vegas-based company that installed its first Bitcoin ATM in Vancouver last year, has said it intends to install the first U.S. Bitcoin ATMs later this month. The Robocoin machines allow for both cash-to-Bitcoin and Bitcoin-to-cash transactions. Prospective Bitcoin vending machine operators have been trying to bring the devices to other cities, such as New York and San Francisco, but they’ve faced regulatory hurdles. Albon, a San Francisco resident, has been in possession of a Lamassu vending machine for about a month, but he has not been able to deploy it thus far. He said California requires a $250,000 bond to operate the machine, in addition to a prohibitively strict anti-money laundering program. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Diamond Bracelet Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/diamond-bracelet-vending-machine/) > [Free Snack Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/free-snack-vending-machine/) > [Support Chester Zoo’s Vote Vending Machine Initiative](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/vote-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Amazon's Kindle Kiosk: Revolutionizing Physical Sales](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/kindle-kiosk-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 19, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Amazon is testing automated 'Kindle Kiosk' vending machines in airports and malls, selling Kindle products and accessories directly. **Content:** [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/), the company that defined the world of online commerce, is venturing further into the world of physical retail — experimenting with standalone, automated ‘Kindle Kiosk’ vending machine in selected airports and shopping malls.

It’s not clear how many people will feel comfortable purchasing something as expensive as a $379 tablet from a vending machine. But at $69, the standard Kindle e-reader could be an impulse buy for someone preparing for a long flight. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Toothpaste Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/toothpaste-promotion-vending-machine/) > [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) > [Free Snack Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/free-snack-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [How Calorie Counts on Vending Machines Promote Health](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/calorie-info-coming-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** New vending machine regulations will require calorie counts to promote healthier snacking, with estimated costs and potential health savings outlined. **Content:** Office workers in search of snacks will be counting calories along with their change under[ new labeling regulations for vending machines](https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-food-labeling-and-critical-foods/menu-and-vending-machine-labeling). Requiring calorie information to be displayed on roughly 5 million vending machines nationwide will help consumers make healthier choices, says the Food and Drug Administration, which is expected to release final rules early next year. It estimates the cost to the vending machine industry at $25.8 million initially and $24 million per year after that, but says if just .02 percent of obese adults ate 100 fewer calories a week, the savings to the health care system would be at least that great. While the proposed rules would give companies a year to comply, the industry group has suggested a two-year deadline and is urging the government to allow as much flexibility as possible in implementing the rules. Some companies may use electronic displays to post calorie counts while others may opt for signs stuck to the machines. Even without the calorie counts, consumers already have ways to make healthier choices from vending machines. The vending machine industry group launched its “Fit Pick” system, which includes stickers placed in front of products that meet healthy guidelines for fat and sugar content. The program is used by nearly 14,000 businesses, schools and government agencies, as well as all branches of the military. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Emotion Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/emotion-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine for Education](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Boyfriend Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/boyfriend-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Enhancing Patient Well-being with Library Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hospital-library-book-vending-machine/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Warwickshire Libraries have launched the UK's first 24-hour library vending machine at George Eliot Hospital, enhancing access for patients and staff. **Content:** A pioneering partnership between Warwickshire County Council and the hospital is making library books available around the clock for patients, visitors and staff. Warwickshire Libraries have installed a library book vending machine by the pathology unit, an area of high footfall, effectively taking the library to those who are unable to get to a library building. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Library-Book-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=700%2C597&ssl=1 "Library Book Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The vending machine holds around 400 books, operates 24 hours a day and is available for use by any members of Warwickshire Libraries. It is the first vending machine of its kind in the UK to be placed in a community venue. George Eliot Hospital has a workforce of 1,800 staff and around 245,000 patients a year. Many of them will have difficulties going to a library building whilst working or staying in the hospital. Similar schemes have been set up in Sweden, the Netherlands and in California but these are primarily at shopping centres and railway stations. The only other example in the UK is housed outside Newcastle Library. The machine is activated by scanning a library card and scrolling down the touch screen using simple commands to choose and borrow a book and take a receipt. Books can also be returned and, like borrowing, the process takes a matter of seconds. Each partner has had different roles to fill. The county council purchased the machine and oversaw its installation. It will provide stock and membership cards. George Eliot Hospital provided the suitable location and access to network links in the building. Its volunteers will undertake the day to day operations alongside library staff. The machine was custom-built for the hospital and had to be linked to the library management system and borrower records, requiring a dedicated high-speed internet link. Cllr Colin Hayfield, portfolio holder for customers, access and physical assets, said: ‘There is a growing evidence that reading can play an integral part not only in well-being but also in recovering from illness. This partnership will make books available to people who need this benefit but would not be able to get them.’ George Eliot Hospital’s Chief Executive, Kevin McGee, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Warwickshire County Council to bring this innovative new service to our patients, visitors and staff.

[SoftBank Telecom](https://www.softbank.jp/en/) and SoftBank Mobile are due to provide telecom services to connect the charging systems, the group said in a press release. Automakers such as Nissan, which launched its all-electric Leaf last year, are gambling that electric cars with zero tailpipe emissions will catch on and, some time in the future, start to drive traditional gas-guzzlers off the road. But many consider the lack of a charging network as the key obstacle to the proliferation of electric vehicles, prompting consumer concerns such as “range-anxiety”, or the fear that their cars will run out of juice between charging points. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Book Vending Machines in Paris: 24/7 Access to Bestsellers](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/book-vending-machines/) > [Boost in Condom Accessibility with Vending Machines in Toilets](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/safe-sex-vending-machine/) > [Enhancing Patient Well-being with Library Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hospital-library-book-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Say Goodbye to Long Lines: Meat Vending Machine Concept](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/new-vending-machine-sells-meat-not-candy/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The Smart Butcher's Meat vending machine offers convenient, affordable meat options, attracting both positive and negative reactions from customers. **Content:** For diners in a rush, there’s a new option besides the drive-through window: They can stop by the Smart Butcher’s Meat vending machine to pick up dinner with the push of a button. Developed by Rob Harrison and Chase Evans of Birmingham, Ala., the Smart Butcher vending machine doesn’t offer soda or candy but instead specially packaged cuts of meat. Harrison came up with the idea while driving home through rural Alabama and seeing a small meat market on the side of the road. After considering the amount of overhead necessary to start a meat market, Harrison got the idea for using vending machine as a way to offer easy-to-find cheap meat in rural areas. > It really just snapped on me — what if we could vend it? > > Harrison Manager Amir Sagani said he was thrilled to be the first to try out the machine. ‘I was excited about it,’ said Sagani. ‘I said, ‘Wow, I didn’t know you could have a vending machine that could have a steak on it.’ Sagani’s wife, Anna Sagani, says the machine has become a draw for the market, with people driving in specifically to see the machine in action. ‘First people’s reactions \[were\], ‘Oh no!’ and then they started using it,”said Anna Sagani. She said that the machine appealed to customers who wanted to avoid long lines at the grocery store. “For movie night you get a steak, and you’re good to go,” said Anna Sagani. Currently, the Smart Butcher offers a range of meat products, including pork chops, sausages and rib-eye steaks, none costing more than $7.95. Evans said the reaction to the Smart Butcher has been split about 50-50 between positive and negative. > We’ve had everything from, “Wow, that’s a crazy idea” to “I wish I had thought of that.” ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Smart-Butcher-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=216%2C233&ssl=1 "Smart Butcher Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")Smart Butcher Vending Machine --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Innovative Vending Machines Offer Music Downloads](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/music-vending-machine/) > [Ninja Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ninja-vending-machine/) > [The Convenience of Redbox: DVD Rentals Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dvd-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Surviving 24 Hours with Vending Machines in Japan](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/reporter-survives-24-hours-japan-using-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In Japan, vending machines offer an extensive range of products, making survival without human interaction surprisingly easy, except for beer. **Content:** ### ****The Ultimate Challenge**** VENDING MACHINES. WHO doesn’t love them? And the undisputed world champion of the vending machine is Japan, where you can buy pretty much anything with the drop of a coin or mobile payment. But whilst you can buy anything from iPods to marijuana to umbrellas, can you actually survive without buying from another human being? That’s what reporter Tom Edwards wanted to find out, so he set out with two friends to spend 24 hours buying anything they needed from vending machines. ### ****Spoiler: It Wasn’t Even Hard**** What won’t surprise you is that the challenge wasn’t really a challenge. If you want something in Japan, you can get it from a vending machine. What is interesting is the breadth of choice, and some of the gimmicks. Sure, you can buy cheesecake, ice-cream, miso soup and the horrifying-sounding cheese curry, but you can also buy gold (real gold) and even a hotel room for the night. Favorite machine is selling beverages, where it uses a camera to take a picture of you, combines it with temperature, perceived age and time of the day to suggest a drink for you. ### ****Interesting Trivia**** Perhaps the best part of this entire escapade is a little bit of trivia Tom learned from Takashi Kurosaki, the boss of the Japan Vending Machine Manufacturers Association. He explains that vending machines in Japan took of in 1967, when expensive ¥100 coins using silver alloy were replaced with a new alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. This meant there were a lot more ¥100 coins around, and vending machines switched to allowing ¥100 coins instead of requiring multiple ¥10 coins. This made them a lot more convenient. ### ****The one thing they couldn’t find**** Lastly, there was one essential thing Tom and team couldn’t find in a machine: Beer. This final point surely marks the whole endeavor as a failure. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Survive-Vending-Machine-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300&ssl=1 "Survive using only Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Egg Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/egg-vending-machine/) > [Twitter Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/twitter-vending-machine/) > [Ice Cream Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ice-cream-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Gold ATMs: Revolutionizing Gold Investment](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/gold-vending-machines/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** The demand for gold drives GOLD to go's launch of gold vending machines globally, making gold investment accessible and convenient for everyday consumers. **Content:** As economic fears drive gold prices to new highs, the creator is attracting attention around the globe for its gold vending machines. Germany-based [GOLD to go](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_to_Go) is churning out 50 machines a month to meet a recent jump in demand, after launching its first ATM in Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace Hotel and its second in Germany. The golden ATM’s next destinations are the Bergamo Airport in Milan, Italy; all major airports in Malaysia; one of Russia’s biggest banks and an undetermined location in Turkey. By making gold investing as easy as buying a candy bar from a vending machine, “GOLD to go” hopes to attract average buyers to the gold market. “We are going to make gold public with these machines,” said Thomas Geissler, CEO of Ex Oriente Lux AG, which owns GOLD to go. “The prices are so easy to control that we’re going to de-mystify gold and make it easier for anyone to buy it.” GOLD to go’s ATM looks like a vending machine and dispenses gold coins and bars weighing up to one ounce at prices updated every 10 minutes based on the real-time spot price of gold. ATM-owners can choose from a variety of other gold items, such as gold Canadian maple leaf coins, South African Krugerrands, and even some custom designs. For example, the special edition gold medallion it engraved with the Palace Hotel’s logo was created for the United Arab Emirate debut. Earlier this month, gold prices hit an all time high of nearly $1,250 per ounce, and the precious metal has continued to climb as euro zone countries struggle with debt and investors worry that the region’s problems could spread globally. Until this uncertainty in the market eases, the demand for gold will only grow, said Carlos Sanchez, a precious metals analyst at CPM Group. “\[The ATM\] is just a reflection of the demand from consumers and investors for exposure to gold,” he said. “As long as prices continue to trend upward and investors remain concerned over economic and political conditions, I think we’ll keep seeing strong demand for safe-haven assets like gold.” **Next stop, Italy:** Patrizio Locatelli, owner of SE 6, a small company in Italy that pays customers for gold, flew to GOLD to go’s factory in Germany to check out the prototype when it was first unveiled. Locatelli was having a hard time keeping up with the costs of rent and hiring employees, so when he came across the GOLD to go ATM online, he saw it as a golden ticket to an efficient way to expand his business. “When you see exchange rates going up and down every day with the euro under so much pressure and stocks decreasing, this gold machine seemed like a very sound idea,” he said. “In times like these you must think of somewhere else to put your money, and physical gold still has great appeal for everyone.” Locatelli is now launching a GOLD to go ATM in Milan’s Bergamo Airport, which he says is one of Italy’s fastest growing airports. “\[Bergamo\] is a great place for it, because serious international business travelers will stop over here a few times a month at least,” he said. “In general you tend to spend more when you’re traveling and in a good mood, so you can now use a vending machine to get a present for someone or buy some bullions as an investment.” After a three-month testing period at Bergamo Airport, Locatelli said he hopes to introduce gold ATMs in every airport in Italy as well as major community centers and banks. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Diamond Bracelet Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/diamond-bracelet-vending-machine/) > [Sweat Activate Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sweat-activate-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Onitsuka Tiger's Innovative Trainer Vending Machine Launch](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/onitsuka-tiger-trainers-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Onitsuka Tiger has launched a free vending machine dispensing trainers, available for three days in London before a national tour. **Content:** It is now possible to get your kicks from the crafty trainers vending machine, created by Japanese sports fashion brand, [Onitsuka Tiger](https://www.onitsukatiger.com/jp/ja-jp/).

Epstein mentioned in his speech that a future was possible in which customers would be able to print an out-of-stock title on the spot, if a book-printing machine could be made that would fit in a store. Ultimately Epstein, together with Dane Neller, former President and CEO of Dean and Deluca, licensed Marsh’s invention and founded On Demand Books. The first Espresso Book Machine was installed and demonstrated June 21, 2007, at the New York Public Library’s Science, Industry and Business Library. For a month, the public was allowed to test the machine by printing free copies of public domain titles provided by the Open Content Alliance (OCA), a non-profit organization with a database of over 200,000 titles. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Peak Shift Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/peak-shift-vending-machine/) > [Insurance Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/insurance-vending-machine/) > [DNA Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/dna-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Revolutionary Kiosk Dispenses Sony Electronics Like Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/sony-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Sony is testing automated kiosks that dispense electronics, aiming for convenience and efficiency in shopping across various locations. **Content:** Sony is unveiling an automated kiosk that dispenses digital cameras, DVDs and MP3 players the same way a vending machine rolls out a can of soda — quickly and at all hours of the day. Sony has set up an automated kiosk for a test run at Santa Rosa Plaza that will carry about 50 Sony products, from a pack of batteries for about $5 to a PlayStation Portable for $249. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Sony-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=920%2C734&ssl=1 "Sony Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")The electronics-maker hopes the Sony Vending Machine will make it easier for consumers to pick up its products. In addition to Santa Rosa, it has set up similar kiosks at the Mall of Georgia in Atlanta and the Flatirons Mall in Boulder, Colo. , with plans for seven more in airports, malls and grocery stores this summer. “The timing is absolutely right,” said Joe Stinziano, senior vice president of Sony Electronics. “Consumers more than ever before are starting to get comfortable with the self-shopping idea. When you come across a machine like this, you can learn more about the products you want. Within three clicks and two minutes and a swipe of your credit card, you’re in and out and done. You don’t have to worry about waiting for a sales clerk or if it’s in stock.” After a customer selects a Sony product on a touch screen and pays for it with a credit card, a robotic arm in the kiosk pick up the product and delivers it. Sensors ensure the item reaches the shopper before the credit card is charged. The machine also includes security features to prevent would-be thieves from breaking into it. The kiosks will also be designed in Sony’s signature style and carry the Sony brand. A 20-inch LCD display will run Sony promotions, such as trailers for Sony movies. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Charity Vending Machine Supporting Education in Cambodia](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/charity-vending-machine-education/) > [Random Book Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/random-book-vending-machine/) > [Umbrella Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/umbrella-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [自動販賣機: 提高藥品獲取便利性](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/醫藥自動販賣機/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 澳洲藥學會報導，許多藥劑師支持在澳洲使用醫藥自動販賣機出售藥方，這一做法在美國已逐漸被接受。藥局關閉時，患者可安心購藥，採取預約制及密碼確認來保障藥品安全。自動販賣機販賣的藥物包括哮喘藥、血壓藥和避孕藥等，對穩定病患尤其有利。然而，藥劑師無法隨時跟進患者病情，這是此做法的一大缺點。 **Content:** 據報, 不少藥劑師都對利用 醫藥自動販賣機 出售藥方的想法表示歡迎. 澳洲藥學會指出利用自動販賣機出售藥方的方法在美國已經逐步被接納, 要是把這種做法搬到澳洲, 對於穩定的病患而言將會是一件好事. 藥學會主席 Brian Grogan 就說：“這個想法的好處就是當藥局關門的時候, 人們不用擔心買不到藥. 只是對於實行將要套用上不少的控制手段.’ 民眾假如有想獲得的藥方，就只需要打電話預訂，然後藥劑師就會把藥方放進自動販賣機裡，等顧客自己前來購買。而為了確保預訂的人能夠獲得自己預訂好的藥，在獲取自動販賣機裡的藥方之前是需要輸入官方提供的密碼。 自動販賣機出售的藥種包括哮喘藥、血壓藥和避孕藥等。 Grogan 認為這種做法的壞處是藥劑師沒辦法隨時現身在自動販賣機旁邊跟進病患的病情，開出適當的藥方。然而對於一些穩定的病患而言，一般都只要重複服用同一種藥方，因此利用自動販賣機會是一件好事。 --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [生態研究自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%9f%e6%85%8b%e7%a0%94%e7%a9%b6%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [性安全自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%80%a7%e5%ae%89%e5%85%a8%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [豪華商品販賣機的創新體驗](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%a5%a2%e4%be%88%e5%93%81%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [活動中不可或缺的酒精自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/酒精自動販賣機/) **Published:** September 1, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 皇冠伏特加（Smirnoff）即將在以色列推出首部售賣酒精飲料的自動販賣機，該機器僅在大型活動中運行。顧客須提供身份證明以核實年齡，確保合法購買。這部販賣機將減輕活動主辦方的負擔，免去設置酒吧和雇用服務生的麻煩。此舉預示著酒精銷售模式的創新，提供更方便的消費體驗。 **Content:** 皇冠伏特加（Smirnoff）的自動販賣機將會是以色列首部售賣酒精飲料的自動販賣機。這部 酒精自動販賣機 只限出現於各個大規模的活動之中。 由於是售賣酒精飲料的自動販賣機，因此對於顧客的年齡限制是必須的，顧客必須向駐守販賣機旁邊的服務員展示身份證，證明自己符合使用資格。 這部自動販賣機將會協助大型活動的舉辦者免去設置酒吧和聘請酒吧服務生的工夫和花費。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Alcohol-Vending-Machines.jpg?resize=500%2C332&ssl=1 "酒精自動販賣機 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [伏特加自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e4%bc%8f%e7%89%b9%e5%8a%a0%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [Twitter 自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/twitter-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [意式薄餅自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%84%8f%e5%bc%8f%e8%96%84%e9%a4%85%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Convenient Office Supplies: Staples' Vending Machine Experiment](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/office-supplies-vending-machine/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Staples installs vending machines at airports and campuses to provide emergency office supplies, gauging consumer interest in convenience over cost. **Content:** ### ******Staples Bets on Vending Machines for On-the-Go Office Needs****** Staples Inc. has installed vending machines at Logan International Airport and a handful of college campuses, hoping to learn whether captive consumers in need of emergency office supplies will pay a premium for computer mice, pens, headphones, batteries, or travel-size Monopoly games. While no one actually used the two red vending machines sitting across from US Airways’s ticket counters in Terminal B one afternoon this week, plenty of passers-by stopped to get a closer look at what was inside. Many of them said they welcomed the convenience, even if it often comes at a higher price. ### **********Traveler Praises Practicality of Emergency Supplies********** ”I would say that it’s a good thing,” said Chris Root of Woods Hole, who passed the Staples machines while on a layover at Logan. ”Most of it looks reasonably priced and it all looks like stuff you could come up short on.” Louise Sawyer, a Boston nonprofit consultant en route to New York, discovered the machines while wandering Terminal B looking for a candy machine. ”I came over here because I was hungry,” Sawyer said. ”They’ve got me right where they need me. It shows that the company is thinking about business travelers.” ### ****Retailers Turn to Branded Vending as a New Sales Channel**** Staples is just one of many retailers now experimenting with so-called nontraditional vending to sell products at higher prices with lower overhead, said Michael Kasavana, a hospitality business professor at Michigan State University, where Staples has two vending machines. ”We’re trying to bring new brands to the automated retail space. One way to do that is through branded vending machines,” said Joe Preston, Vision’s president. ### ******Familiar Design, Unusual Inventory****** Staples’s machines look and act just like others where you might buy candy or a bag of chips, with a few added twists — and some familiar glitches. Products — from a $60 SanDisk compact flash memory card, a $45 Targus USB optical scroller mini mouse, or a $3 box of Crayola crayons — are lined up in slots that are identified by a combination of a number and letter. ### ********Straightforward Checkout—Mostly******** Slide your cash into the appropriate slot on the machine, punch in the location of the item you want, and wait for the metal coils to rotate, dropping your merchandise down behind a door where you can reach in and pick it up. It’s a pretty simple transaction when it works. A reporter using a credit card was able to buy the optical mouse, a $6 pack of Duracell AAA batteries, and the flash memory card with no problem. Buying a $25 Cross brand ink pen, though, was a no-go. The machine initially rejected two credit card swipes before finally accepting the card and spitting out the pen. But as it fell, the pen’s box fell apart, with only the empty box top landing behind the pick-up door and the pen itself on a shelf beyond the reporter’s reach. When told of the glitch, Staples spokeswoman Deborah Hohler said it was the first complaint the company has gotten about its vending machines, which have been in operation for about six months. She noted that a toll-free customer service number is posted on the front of the machines for such problems. ”Obviously, that shouldn’t have happened, but if you call that number, they’ll completely rectify the situation,” she said. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Office-Supplies-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=375%2C500&ssl=1 "Office Supplies Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [The 2 Euro T-shirt Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/2-euro-t-shirt-vending-machine/) > [Anger Release Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machine/) > [Baguette Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/baguette-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Inspired Broadcast Networks 推廣音樂販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/音樂自動販賣機/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** 在不久的將來，英國將推出音樂自動販賣機，允許用戶下載喜愛的音樂。Inspired Broadcast Networks與Entertainment UK合作，初期以儲存卡下載，未來將支援WiFi或藍牙無線連接。該公司已投資5000萬英鎊以推進此項目，並吸引了可口可樂等企業的關注。 **Content:** 在不久的將來，我們便能夠在英國看見 音樂自動販賣機 了。據報，Inspired Broadcast Networks 和 [Entertainment UK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_UK) 決定合作將音樂下載的功能推行到自動販賣機身上，這將意味將來不僅能從自動販賣機裡買到朱古力和各種汽水，我們還能透過販賣機下載自己喜歡的音樂! 音樂自動販賣機是憑藉網絡和販賣機於信息庫相連，做到隨時更新和儲存資訊的效果。音樂自動販賣機推行的初期僅可使用儲存卡作為下載的承載媒體，預計未來將會發展出使用WiFi或者藍牙連線做到無線下載，讓手機等用家也能受惠。而部分酒吧、俱樂部將使下載音樂的功能發展到點唱機上。 對這個計劃表示有興趣的公司包括可口可樂。為了迎合未來市場對音樂自動販賣機的需求，Inspired Broadcast Networks目前已經投資了5000萬英磅（約9300萬美元）以加速發展該項目。 ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Music-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=415%2C458&ssl=1 "音樂自動販賣機 - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine") --- ### ******其他販賣機應用****** > [產品與解決方案](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81-%e8%a7%a3%e6%b1%ba%e6%96%b9%e6%a1%88-%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [探秘世界最高自動販賣機的秘密](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e5%af%8c%e5%a3%ab%e5%b1%b1%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [連漫畫也有賣? 地鐵內的 漫畫自動販賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%bc%ab%e7%95%ab%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e8%b2%a9%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) > [打開才知道的祕境-ZICO 椰子水自動售賣機](https://www.vanyufuji.com/zh/%e6%a4%b0%e5%ad%90%e6%b0%b4%e8%87%aa%e5%8b%95%e5%94%ae%e8%b3%a3%e6%a9%9f/) **Categories:** 新聞 --- ### [Army Supplies Vending Machine for National Servicemen in Singapore](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/army-supplies-vending-machine/) **Published:** March 13, 2017 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** Full-time national servicemen in Singapore can now access army supplies via a vending machine offering various essential items. **Content:** SINGAPORE – [Full-time national servicemen](https://www.army.gov.sg/) who need army supplies can now turn to a vending machine.

[Adkison Elementary School](https://adkison.ceres.k12.ca.us/) Books Vending Machine### **Concept:** A books vending machine designed to share kindness could offer free or low-cost books with the aim of making reading more accessible to everyone. This could include a variety of genres and formats suitable for different age groups and interests. ### **Implementation Ideas** 1. **Donation-Based Model**: Encourage people to donate used books. These books can then be stocked in the vending machine. Patrons can take a book by either paying a small amount (which goes back into maintaining the machine and supporting the initiative) or simply giving a book in exchange. 2. **Kindness Notes**: Include handwritten notes inside each book with messages of encouragement, quotes, or even personal stories related to the book. This adds a personal touch and spreads positivity. 3. **Community Engagement**: Partner with local schools, libraries, and community centers to host events around the vending machine. For example, organize reading clubs or storytelling sessions where participants can discuss the books they’ve picked up from the machine. 4. **Accessibility**: Ensure the vending machine is placed in a location that is easily accessible to all members of the community, such as public squares, parks, or near community centers. Consider having multiple machines in different neighborhoods to reach a wider audience. 5. **Themed Months**: Dedicate certain months to specific themes or causes. For example, during National Poetry Month, stock the machine exclusively with poetry books. Or, support mental health awareness by offering self-help and psychology books. 6. **Digital Integration**: Create a QR code on the vending machine that links to an online forum or social media group where readers can connect, share their thoughts about the books, and suggest titles for future inclusion. 7. **Sponsorship and Partnerships**: Seek sponsorships from local businesses or publishers who might want to contribute books or funds. This can help keep the project sustainable and expand its impact. By implementing these ideas, a books vending machine becomes more than just a place to get a book; it turns into a hub of community interaction, learning, and kindness. It not only promotes reading but also fosters a sense of generosity and connection among community members. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [Moet Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/moet-vending-machine/) > [Anger release vending machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/anger-release-vending-machines/) > [Baguette Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/baguette-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Fuji Electric's Award-Winning Eco Vending Machines](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/peak-shift-vending-machine-wins-award/) **Published:** August 25, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** In 2013, Fuji Electric won Japan's Energy Conservation Grand Prize for eco-friendly vending machines, significantly reducing energy consumption and emissions. **Content:** In **2013**, **Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.** received significant recognition at Japan’s **Energy Conservation Awards**—a prestigious national program organized by the **Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)**—for its innovative **eco-friendly vending machine technology**. This award highlighted Fuji Electric’s leadership in reducing energy consumption in one of Japan’s most ubiquitous retail fixtures: the **automatic vending machine**. --- ### ? **The 2013 Energy Conservation Awards (Energy Conservation Grand Prize)** The **Energy Conservation Awards** (also known as the *Energy Conservation Center, Japan* or *ECCJ Awards*) honor businesses, organizations, and individuals that demonstrate **outstanding achievements in energy efficiency and CO₂ reduction**. In 2013, Fuji Electric was awarded the **“Energy Conservation Grand Prize (Product/Technology Category)”** for its **next-generation energy-saving vending machine system**. This recognition came at a critical time: - Following the **2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster**, Japan accelerated its push for **energy conservation** and **reduced dependence on fossil fuels**. - With over **4 million vending machines** consuming an estimated **1–2% of Japan’s total electricity**, even small efficiency gains had national impact. --- ### ? **Fuji Electric’s Award-Winning Vending Machine Innovations** Fuji Electric’s winning technology wasn’t a single machine—but an **integrated suite of energy-saving features** deployed across its vending fleet, including: #### 1. **Hybrid Cooling/Heating System** - A single unit could **simultaneously cool cold drinks and heat hot drinks** using a shared heat-exchange loop. - Waste heat from the refrigeration cycle was repurposed to warm beverages—**cutting energy use by up to 40%** compared to conventional dual-system machines. #### 2. **LED Lighting & Smart Sensors** - Replaced fluorescent lights with **low-power LEDs**. - Added **motion and ambient light sensors** to dim displays at night or in low-traffic areas. #### 3. **“Eco Mode” with Real-Time Grid Response** - Machines could **temporarily reduce power** during peak grid demand (e.g., summer afternoons) without compromising product temperature—thanks to advanced insulation and thermal storage. #### 4. **Solar-Powered Models** - Piloted **standalone solar vending machines** in rural and coastal areas, operating entirely off-grid. #### 5. **Remote Monitoring & AI-Based Optimization** - Each machine transmitted energy data to a cloud platform, allowing operators to **optimize settings by location, season, and usage patterns**. --- ### ? **Impact & Scale** By 2013, Fuji Electric had deployed **over 200,000 energy-efficient vending machines** across Japan, primarily for clients like **Coca-Cola Japan, Suntory, and JR East**.

A decade of playing baseball as a first baseman and pitcher inspired Opelika High School freshman Taylor Rosenthal to create a first-aid vending machine. “No one could find a Band-Aid when someone got hurt,” Rosenthal said. ![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vanyufuji.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/First-Aid-Vending-Machine.jpg?resize=992%2C558&ssl=1 "First Aid Vending Machine - Vanyu-Fuji Vending Machine")When the Young Entrepreneurs Academy — a program designed as a class for students interested in learning how to start their own small businesses — asked his class to brainstorm ideas for a company. Rosenthal’s mother and father, who both work in the medical industry as an x-ray technician and sports medicine trainer, respectively, helped him develop his idea for the machine, which they called RecMed. ### ******From Classroom Victory to National Stage****** Rosenthal’s RecMed pitch went on to win first place in his class, which earned him assistance from startup incubator Roundhouse to develop the pitch for a regional competition in Boca Raton, Florida. “Have you ever been to an amusement park, and your child falls to the ground and scrapes their knee?” Rosenthal asked in his original pitch. “Then, you had to walk all the way to the front of the park to get a Band-Aid?” The vending machine allows consumers to purchase first-aid packages to treat ailments such as cuts and blisters or buy individual supplies like bandages and rubber gloves. ### ********A Young Visionary Among Seasoned Founders******** In January, Rosenthal went on to win second place in the Techstars competition at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He will be featured at TechCrunchDisrupt, a startup conference in New York, where he is the youngest person to ever be accepted to the event. Rosenthal’s mentor at Roundhouse, Kyle Sandler, said he is the youngest entrepreneur at the company, where the average member is in his or her 30s. Rosenthal spends all his free time at Roundhouse, where he even has an office, he said. “We had to throw him out of Roundhouse on Christmas Eve because he wanted to keep working,” Sandler said. Rosenthal is even a local celebrity, with the mayor of Opelika declaring Dec. 16 as “Taylor Rosenthal Day.” The straight-A student says he sees a need for RecMed in any “high-traffic areas where children can get hurt,” such as amusement parks and sports stadiums. So far, Six Flags has ordered 100 machines and several more “major” companies are interested, he said. --- ### ******Other Vending Machine Applications****** > [Product & Solution](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/product-solution-hong-kong-vending-machine/) > [AED Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/aed-vending-machine/) > [Mask Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/mask-vending-machine/) > [Ramen Noodle Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/ramen-noodle-vending-machine/) **Categories:** News --- ### [Experience Fast Pizza from a Vending Machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/pizza-vending-machines/) **Published:** September 7, 2016 **Author:** Editoral Team **Excerpt:** A new pizza vending machine outside Costcutter near Southwark Station offers hot pizzas in under two minutes, with initial stock selling out on its first day. **Content:** The Pizza Vending Machines, outside Costcutter opposite Southwark Station, delivers a hot pizza in under two minutes.

From Japan’s pioneering hydrogen-powered machines debuted by Coca-Cola at the World Expo in Osaka—operating without external electricity via replaceable cartridges—to Rwanda’s first locally made vending machines enabling fully cashless, 24/7 access, innovations are redefining convenience worldwide. Key trends include the explosion of intelligent, IoT-connected units (now over 6.5 million globally) offering contactless payments, and real-time inventory tracking; a shift toward healthier, sustainable options like eco-friendly products and high-protein snacks; and diversification into non-traditional items such as skincare, tech gadgets, fresh pizzas, and even literature via Tokyo’s first short-story dispensing machine. As urbanization accelerates and consumers demand seamless, on-the-go experiences amid busy lifestyles, vending machines are emerging as smart retail hubs, blending cutting-edge tech with quirky cultural flair—from seismic-sensor-equipped free-water dispensers in earthquake-prone Japan to blockchain-integrated networks spanning 120 countries—heralding a future where automated convenience touches every corner of daily life. > [Hong Kong library books vending machine](https://www.vanyufuji.com/en/hong-kong-school-library-books-vending-machine/) > [Inside the World’s Largest Luxury Car
