Customers open the machine by tapping their phone on a near-field communication tag or scanning a QR code
Co-op has partnered with Unilever to launch what is claimed to be Europe’s only consumer-facing smart ice cream vending machine.
The machine – which has been installed in Co-op’s Battersea Bridge Road store in London – is opened by customers tapping their phone on a near-field communication tag on the door, or scanning a QR code. This prompts shoppers to confirm their choice of payment method, and once selected the door unlocks.
A combination of cameras and sensors within the Wall’s branded freezer identify which products have been removed by the customer. The shopper is charged once they close the freezer door.
