The new retail format is the general trend, and as one of the excellent carriers, unmanned intelligent vending machines and unmanned intelligent containers have shined brilliantly in recent years. I believe that many friends have no cognitive difference between these two cabinets with similar appearance. They are all unmanned, mobile payment and so on. In fact, there is still a big difference between them.

So, what are the differences between unmanned intelligent vending machines and unmanned intelligent containers?

It can be simply understood that the unmanned intelligent vending machine belongs to the mode of paying first and then shipping, and its security is relatively high; The unmanned intelligent container belongs to the first scanning code to open the door, free to buy and close the door automatically. The specific differences are as follows:

1. Different payment methods

You know, the traditional coin-operated payment even pays by NFC card, and the unmanned intelligent container needs customers to scan the code with their mobile phones to open it, and then complete the payment action on the mobile phones. In fact, this action can make the smart container open the entrance to promote interaction with customers. In this way, unmanned intelligent containers can push preferential information, customer surveys, etc. on customers' mobile phones, and also collect customers' consumption big data, so they also assume a part of the marketing role.

2, access to goods in different ways

Unmanned intelligent vending machines usually find the designated goods from the warehouse and then deliver them to customers actively, while many unmanned intelligent containers rely on customers to pick them up independently after opening them, which has different advantages in user experience. As a "lazy person", I may prefer the "initiative" of vending machines; However, some people think that smart containers are free to choose goods by themselves, and it is better to choose goods by hand. However, this will depend on the quality of consumers, otherwise it will easily lead to the loss of goods.

3. Different technologies

At present, the technologies adopted by unmanned intelligent containers are divided into RFID, gravity sensing, biometrics and so on, while the technologies of unmanned intelligent vending machines are mainly embodied in the cargo lanes and other industrial control components.

4. Different costs

The security performance of unmanned intelligent vending machine is relatively high, and there is no problem of theft; However, compared with the unmanned intelligent container vending machine with scanning code and opening door, the hardware production cost of unmanned vending machine is high, and the pressure of large-scale laying funds is great, so customers can't flexibly choose and return goods, and the machine is stuck.

What are the classifications of unmanned intelligent vending machines and unmanned intelligent containers?

1. Unmanned containers

1. Weighing unmanned containers

2, RFID tag unmanned containers

3. Visual recognition of unmanned containers

Second, unmanned vending machines

1. Unmanned vending machines with spring spiral cargo lanes

2. Unmanned vending machines for tracked goods lanes

3. Vending machines with snake-shaped cargo lanes

4. Multi-door lattice cabinet vending machine

Different unmanned intelligent vending machines and unmanned intelligent container sales have their own applicable consumption scenarios and commodity categories. As a friend who wants to engage in this industry, it is a question that every third-party operator should think deeply when putting into the operation of unmanned vending equipment to recognize the advantages and disadvantages and application scope of these machines.
