Smart vending solutions
State-of-the-art vending machines
fitted with the world’s most advanced
telemetry technology are set to
save office facilities managers up to
80% of costs on current engineering
interventions, according to vending
equipment supply company Smart
Vend Solutions.
The use of telemetry represents a
significant time and cost saving for
operators, as it removes the need for both
manual repairs and restocking requests,
potentially reducing the average number
of costly engineering call-outs per year
from three to one.
New software and hardware developed
by Rheavendors links each machine to a
centralised ‘always on’ IP communications
system. This automatically feeds
information on usage, maintenance,
potential mechanical failures and reverse
calculated stock levels to machine
provider Smart Vend Solutions’ external
operations management database.
The .On software is able to correlate
the amount of coffee beans ordered with
the precise amount dispensed, before
automatically scheduling a pre-emptive
delivery, while also instantly relaying any
maintenance issues.
Pre-emptive delivery ordering, which
balances sales versus stock levels, is
designed to ensure machines never run
out of coffee, milk or cups, significantly
reducing machine downtime.
SMART kapp has arrived
Steljes has announced the launch of SMART kapp, a digital capture board that
enables users to capture, save and share ideas.
SMART kapp from SMART Technologies is a revolutionary alternative to the traditional
dry-erase board.Working with an app that
allows smartphones and tablets to be paired
with the SMART kapp board, content is easily
captured, saved (as high resolution images
or PDFs) and shared.
As content is written on the board,
it appears in real-time on the paired
device and can be shared instantly with
up to five users via the app’s live web-
sharing feature. Quick and easy to install,
it requires no IT integration and plugs
into a standard power outlet.
A practical design
Crafted from high quality vegetable-tanned
leather, the Leather Wallet Case for iPhone
6 provides
protection and a
convenient card
holder for two
or three cards.
Openings for
volume rockers,
headphone jack
and lightning
connector give
you access to all
phone functions
without the need
to remove the
protective cover.
The Leather Wallet
Case for iPhone 6
is available in tan
and black.
Mobile franking machine

European cartridge remanufacturer Totalpost

machine cartridge laboratory that fits in a
specialist suitcase and can be taken all over the
world.
The mobile laboratory includes a wide selection
of Totalpost cartridges for Pitney Bowes and
Neopost devices, franking machines and Totalpost’s
own testing equipment.
Production and Compliance Manager Bruce
Lenton said: “The mobile lab enables us to go
through real life cartridge scenarios and gives our
customers a much better understanding of the
products.”
Securikey unveils
new website
Securikey has launched a
new website that provides
visitors with speedy access to
product, installation and lock
programming information.
One of the most advanced tools
offered by the new website is the
refined search filter, which allows
products to be identified according
to criteria specific for each range.
For example in the safes category,
visitors can specify the type of
certificate; cash rating; locking
options; height, width or depth; or
even the number of shelves needed.
The Securikey site adapts for
easy viewing on mobile devices,
such as smartphones or tablets,
while a new interactive map enables
visitors to locate their nearest
stockist.
