Product overview

The cabinet removes the selection step: the customer opens the door, takes the product and closes it. NFC/RFID tags identify each item as it leaves the shelf, and the linked account is charged when the door closes.

Operators see stock by door or shelf, sales history, temperature and fault alerts in the cloud platform. The cabinet can be integrated with a member, campus or staff account system through API.

Buying and configuration questions

What is an AI vending cabinet?
It is a self-service cabinet that identifies products automatically and connects to a cloud platform. VendHarbor’s version uses NFC/RFID tags and account-based charging.
How does recognition work?
Each product carries a tag. The reader identifies the item as it leaves the shelf, builds the basket and charges the account when the door closes.
Does it use cameras or visual recognition?
The standard configuration uses NFC/RFID tags. Other recognition methods are evaluated per project; the specification is confirmed in the technical proposal.
Can it monitor inventory remotely?
Yes. Stock is tracked by door or shelf, with low-stock alerts in the dashboard.
What happens when the network is down?
Local transactions are stored and synced when the connection returns. Account charging may be queued depending on the integration.
Can it be integrated with our member system?
Yes. The cabinet can expose events and accept account updates through API; integration scope is confirmed per project.
Is it suitable for offices?
Yes. The door-open format removes the selection step and works well in staff areas and residential lobbies.
