60-slot touchscreen vending machine for transit locations
Scenario overview

High footfall, short dwell time, cashless payment.

Rail stations, metro interchanges, bus terminals and airports combine high footfall with short dwell time. The machine must be visible from the walking path, accept local cashless payment and hold enough stock to survive a full service interval.

Operational considerations

  • Peak-hour queues punish slow selection and payment.
  • A wide product range is needed to serve different day parts.
  • Site access for restocking is limited to off-peak windows.
  • Payment habits vary by market and by customer group.

Site planning questions

How many machines does a station need?
It depends on footfall, dwell time and product mix. A starting point is one 60-slot cabinet per 3,000–5,000 daily passengers, then adjust after two to four weeks of sales data.
Can the machine accept local e-wallets?
Payment modules are selected per market. QR, card, coin and note options are available; the exact wallet integration is confirmed with the payment provider.
How often does it need restocking?
A 300-item cabinet typically supports several days of sales at a moderate-footfall site. The cloud platform reports stock by slot so the route can plan restocking before a stockout.
Does it need a fixed network line?
A 4G/5G router or site Wi-Fi is sufficient. Offline sales continue if the connection drops, and transactions sync when it returns.
