Frequently Asked Questions about AI-Powered Vending Machines
General
Nova Otomat is a young startup group that produces and markets cutting-edge, innovative vending machine products, and also operates vending machines. The company is a Limited Turkish company offering innovation and technology-based solutions.
Payment at AI-powered vending machines is made with a valid credit card. The customer scans their card to open the machine. The products the customer has chosen are detected by AI sensors. After the machine closes, payment is collected from the credit card used.
Products are pre-registered in the Nova automation system with their own unique packaging. AI-powered visual sensors use multiple content-looking sensors to recognize which products have been picked based on these packaging images.
The visual sensors are smart enough to detect when a customer puts an item back, and the customer is not charged for those items. Customers are only charged for items retrieved after the door has closed, thus completing the transaction.
Our smallest device, the Nova Vision Solo, requires only 1 square meter of space. Space requirements for other devices vary depending on their size, but on average, between 1 and 3 square meters per device.
