Face recognition vending machine Demonstration test will start Practical application within next fiscal year July 20 5:11
Beverage manufacturers have begun a demonstration experiment that enables them to purchase vending machine products with the help of face recognition technology. It is intended for use in offices and factories, and we aim to put it into practical use by the end of next year.
The demonstration test is being conducted by the beverage maker "Dai Do Drinko" using NEC's face recognition technology.
When purchasing a product, first hold your face over the camera of the tablet device installed in the vending machine.
After the machine reads the face information, enter the PIN code, select the product and press the button to purchase.
It is necessary to register the face image and credit card in advance, and the price will be deducted from the card.
The company has installed this vending machine at a factory in Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture, and is conducting a verification test. After confirming the accuracy, we hope to put it into practical use next year.
This vending machine is intended for use in offices, factories where personal items such as wallets and smartphones cannot be brought in, and beaches.
In the future, the company wants to be able to make purchases without the need to press a password or product button, and Yoshihiro Furumon, assistant manager of the sales planning department of Dy Dodrinko's vending machine, said: I want to do it."
