Azkoyen Group patents the Distance Selection technology which allows product selection in Coffetek automatic machines without the need to touch any surfaces

Coffetek will incorporate Azkoyen Group patented Distance Selection Technology in its range. The technology allows the user to obtain the products without having any contact with the surface of the machine, adding safety and hygiene to the purchasing process.

The mechanical push-button or touch-screen panels on vending machines, are now being replaced by new technologies that work remotely, such as the Distance Selection Technology featured in Azkoyen Group machines. Thanks to this, the user can select the product they want from a distance of up to 2 centimetres from the surface of the selection panel as shown in this video.

In addition to contactless payments and other related payment systems, the Azkoyen Group also has the Pay4vend electronic payment technology which allows remote payment using mobile devices and Joyco APP, allowing the distance selection and contactless payment on the phone.

The health and safety measures enabled by Distance Selection Technology, Pay4Vend, and Joyco technologies will improve consumer confidence in the use of vending machines, ideal for workplaces and hospitality.

Changing the way we interact with the devices around us, such as vending machines, has become an indispensable step to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses such as Covid-19, which will be reflected in improved health for users.
