Spain Customer Deploys a Double Door Gravity Vending Cabinet for Grab and Go Retail
Spain Customer Deploys a Double Door Gravity Vending Cabinet for Grab and Go Retail
A flexible self-service installation combines direct product access, automatic settlement and remote vending management.
The Spain installation uses two illuminated glass doors to display beverages, chilled products and packaged snacks in one grab-and-go cabinet.
Traditional vending machines work well when every product fits a predefined channel. However, bottles, cans, yogurt, snack bags and boxed food do not always share the same dimensions or dispensing requirements.
For this customer installation in Spain, a double door gravity vending cabinet provided a more flexible alternative. The completed unit offers the familiar experience of shopping from a commercial refrigerator while retaining payment control, automatic settlement and unattended operation.
Customers verify payment, open the door, take one or several products and close the cabinet. Weight sensors compare the load before and after the shopping session so the system can calculate the transaction.

Selling Mixed Products Without Forcing Every SKU Into a Spiral Channel
A conventional coil machine requires the operator to match every package to a suitable channel width, coil pitch and motor setting. Changes in bottle diameter or snack packaging may require mechanical readjustment.
The Spain installation needed to present drinks, chilled products and snacks together. Direct shelf access made it possible to use a retail-style layout instead of designing an individual dispensing path for every product.
The two-door format also creates a wider visual storefront, allowing customers to compare the available assortment before beginning a transaction.
The Shelf Detects What Changes During Each Shopping Session
Each configured product position is associated with weight data. After payment authorization unlocks the cabinet, the system compares shelf weight before and after the door is closed.
This allows customers to remove more than one item in the same session. It also removes the need to wait for products to fall through the machine one at a time.
Product setup remains important. Operators should enter accurate product information, keep SKUs in their assigned sensor areas and test the final shelf plan before launch.
Four Steps From Payment Verification to Automatic Settlement
|
1
VerifyThe customer presents an accepted card or cashless payment method. |
2
OpenPayment authorization releases the electronic cabinet lock. |
3
TakeThe shopper selects one or several products directly from the shelves. |
4
CloseThe system calculates the change and completes the transaction. |
Open Shelves Support a Broader and More Visible Product Mix
The customer photo shows bottled drinks, canned beverages, water, yogurt, chocolate and packaged snacks distributed across the two glass doors.
Products remain in their normal retail orientation and are not hidden behind a delivery mechanism. This gives customers a clearer view of package size, branding and available quantity.
When the assortment changes, operators can adjust shelf allocation and product settings rather than replacing the entire dispensing structure.
Five Practical Advantages for the Operator
Direct ReplenishmentProducts can be placed directly on the shelves without loading every item into a spiral. |
Multiple-Item PurchasesCustomers can select several products during one authorized door-opening session. |
