Sanden Corporation will launch the sale of beverage-vending machines equipped with large liquid-crystal (LCD)
displays.
When one of the items in it become sold-out, this LCD-equipped vending machine can display only the sellable products
or show the rankings of the most popular products, which may have a great deal of potential in sales promotion.
These machines display images of the goods they sell, instead of using sample dummies, which has the advantage of there being no need for such tasks as the preparation and disposal of samples, which could even help reduce waste. The LCD displays are not only useful for selling beverages: they can also be used as a medium for transmitting a variety of information, such as news and disaster information. Sanden will continue to cultivate demand for this type of vending machine as the one that can be installed in public spaces and used for communicating with users in various ways.
