Instead of visiting every machine on a fixed schedule, operators can go where they are needed. Data makes that possible.
Telemetry data shows the operator which machines are low on stock, which are reporting errors, and which can wait. Routes are planned and products prepared on that basis, instead of visiting every machine on a fixed schedule.
Which data matters
- Stock levels per selection.
- Alarms, such as temperature or jams.
- Cash and change levels.
- Product dates, if the system tracks them.
Visit order
First machines with faults or temperature alarms, then those with empty selections, then routine restocks. The order depends on the operator's rules.
The effect for the host site
Fewer empty selections and faster responses to faults. The page with vending machines (publisher's site) explains how operators work with sites.
FAQ
Does telemetry replace service visits? No, but it helps plan them better.
Does every machine have telemetry? No. It needs a module and an operator-side system.
