Overview of Vending Machines : Functions, Benefits, and Impact on Society

 

    The 20th century saw the rise of vending machines, which we still often find on the streets today. Vending machine is a revolutionary invention that was first introduced in England in the early 1880s. This automatic vending machine is revolutionary because we are able to buy food without having to interact with people directly. There are various variations of vending machines, from those selling goods to food products. Nowadays, we can find vending machines in various places. They are very flexible and help us tremendously in certain situations. 



    Vending machines work quite simply. When using an automatic vending machine, the buyer only needs to insert coins in order to make a purchase in the vending machine. After the payment has been completed, the buyer can choose the product they want to get by pressing corresponding button on the vending machine. The product will then be distributed from its storage to the collection point, which is located under the automatic vending machine. The buyer then can retrieve the product that they bought.



    There are several components that make the vending machine works. First, the most important component is the control panel. It is useful for allowing buyers to choose which product they will buy. Then, there is a display screen that will appear which will provide information to the buyer regarding the product being sold. Then, there is storage space in the vending machine to store the products to be sold.

    When a person wants to buy a product from a vending machine they first need to insert their money into one of the components called the bill acceptor. This important component is basically the place where the user insert their coins in order to make a purchase.

    The mechanisms and machinaries found in vending machines are useful for carrying out the functions of the vending machine. One of which is the motor mechanism which is the part responsible of moving the shelves to release the products that has been selected. There is also a security lock to lock the vending machine so that the products being sold remain safe and would not get stolen. Then there is a power supply whose job is to provide electrical energy to the vending machine so that it can operate.

    This automatic vending machine has the advantage that it can be available for 24 hours without closing hours. This advantage can save the buyer's time, lowering the operating costs, and making it easy to monitor and manage the sales. However, apart from the advantages of automatic vending machines, they also have their own disadvantages. One of which is that the products that are being sold are limited by the storage capacity of the automatic vending machine. Additionally, sometimes there are machine failures or machine damages. If the failures occur, then it will have to be fixed immediately.

    To sum up, the vending machine is a very helpful tool to society because of its flexibility and effectiveness. Its mechanism allows people to easily buy foods or snacks in many places at an instant. Regardless of the shortcomings that I gave, the vending machine is still very practical and useful. If it weren't for vending machines, people wouldn't be able to access goods as easily as they do now.
