Challenge

 

Smart enabled vending machines and kiosks can eliminate downtime, notify stock outages, and give technicians as well as businesses alike real-time insights.

We expect vending machines to be accessible and responsive 24/7. Otherwise, downtime is detrimental to machine manufacturers, product distributors, as well as property managers. When managing a multitude of vending machines spread out over a wide area, companies need a reliable hub to keep the connected peripherals up and running. This is especially imperative to remote troubleshooting devices for the detection of electrical faults. Technicians need this information to swiftly respond and get their machines back in working condition.

These machines require something reliable to connect peripherals to, such as network TCP/IP adapters, humidity sensors, credit card readers, and more. This device needs a ruggedized chassis and a wide operating temperature range to match connected devices and handle any environment that these kiosks may be stationed. 

Solution

 

Knowing these requirements, it’s clear what these vending machines need — an industrial DIN rail USB hub to mount inside and connect peripherals. With devices running 24/7 and a variety of environments within which these kiosks are stationed, our hubs are built to meet those standards.

Coolgear’s 4 Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub offers 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a rugged steel chassis. To keep connected peripherals protected, the hub features surge protection up to 15kV. Each USB port is fitted with screw-locking holes to keep cables secure and void of accidental disconnections, keeping your devices up and running.

Our engineer-focused support can help identify the best solution for any commercial point-of-sale application. Readily available CAD files, technical drawings, and data sheets assist in determining the perfect fit for vending machines and self-checkout kiosks.

Benefits

 

Coolgear’s industrial hub provides a plethora of preventative measures to keep peripherals connected, protected, and running smoothly 24/7. Allowing the connection of remote troubleshooting devices and with the inclusion of surge protection, we can see a reduction in service calls. Benefitting consumers and distributors alike, Coolgear hubs allow an increase in availability for customers and a decrease in spoilage resulting from malfunctions.
