Workplace Food Access Challenges in Modern Offices

In many office environments across the Netherlands:

• Employees want quick access to ready meals during short breaks

• Nearby restaurants are often crowded during lunch hours

• Traditional pantry options lack variety and freshness

• Manual checkout systems slow down convenience

A smart food vending machine provides a fully automated solution for these daily needs.

How the Smart Fridge System Works

Step 1: Pre-Authorization Payment

Employees tap to pre-authorize a payment before opening the smart fridge.

Step 2: Fridge Door Unlock

After authorization, the door unlocks automatically, allowing free item selection.

Step 3: Grab-and-Go Selection

Users can take ready meals, drinks, or snacks directly from the fridge.

Step 4: Weight Sensing Settlement Logic

When the door is closed, the system calculates the transaction based on the weight difference of items removed, automatically determining the number of products taken and charging accordingly.

This makes the food vending machine fully automatic and accurate.
