The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Manufacturers face challenges such as defective products, on-time delivery slippage, excessive scrap and rework, unacceptable equipment downtime, and supply chain disruption. As the number of assets and production facilities increases, it becomes more difficult to diagnose and react to these challenges in a timely and scalable manner. Such difficulties can have cascading effects on production schedules and translate to higher production costs, lost profits, missed order fulfillment and reputational damage. Information silos and manual data collection add complexity to making near real-time operational decisions.

It is imperative that its machines operate reliably and that parts and materials are available at every production step, to ensure that products being made meet quality standards. DataSar Manufacturing Insights from Kangiten leverages AI and machine learning (ML) techniques to provide answers to these challenges, by connecting data from man, machines, method, and materials for situational awareness.
