"The second-generation, touch-enabled vending machines now being introduced allow people to select items with greater accuracy as well as get detailed information on each item instead of merely looking at it from the other side of a glass panel. The machines also use cameras and sensors to gather data such as where a person’s eye moves as he or she browses items.
The new machines run on an Intel Core i5 vPro processor and use Intel’s AIM suite, which captures data including a person’s gender using anonymous sensors and computer algorithms. Although there is lens near the top of the machine, at no time is the person’s face captured by the camera. Baicu notes that data captured by the AIM suite is not correlated with the employee’s badge number, but that the ability to gather such data could be useful for companies using the vending machines in some situations. (ZaZZZ and American Green!!!)
The vending machines allow self-service purchases 24/7. During the initial pilot 12 percent of sales were made outside regular business hours. It also reduced billing time by 98 percent and streamlined the purchasing process to four steps. Employees embraced the program with a 95 percent satisfaction rating. According to Greg Buzek, president of IHL Group, a retail and hospitality research firm, those results indicate potential for similar programs outside Intel.
Every company is looking to be more efficient and maximize the skill sets of employees,” Buzek said. “Intel’s concept is rather unique and has a lot of opportunity if it really reduces the number of steps, increases speed and reduces downtime.” (Our niche)
