GIGABYTE Announces Intelligent Vending Solution
As convenience as it may be for the consumers, managing and maintaining the vending machines scattering around the city or even across various places is never an easy task.

Therefore, the systems integrators for the vending machines decides to partner with GIGABYTE seeking for a more effective managing solution for their customers.

GIGABYTE presents Intelligent Vending Solution, combining its GB-BXBT-3825 IoT gateway, GB-TVC1A vending machine controller, and GC-S3P I/O expansion board. This Intelligent Vending Solution automatically and instantly collects the sales data, inventory information and other related business details, and then transmits the data to the central server. Without “door-to-door” and time-consuming management and maintenance, the owners can now run their business in the most efficient way possible.

Meanwhile, as the vending machines are setting up here and there around the city, they have become the most ideal commercial broadcasters in the society. In order to make sure that the ads are effectively delivered to the right group, the systems integrators have started looking for partners equipped with advanced video analytics technology that can be programmed to pick up the right commercial for individual by detecting the customer's gender, age, etc. It is believed that we do not have to wait too long to see this advanced analytics technique applied on the vending machines around the corner!

Despite the fact that VCA applying on vending machine will promise accurate commercial delivering, some of the countries still consider using video analytics to the public as privacy infringement.
