Vending machines are commonly used equipment for commercial automation. They can automatically pay goods according to the coins invested. They are not limited by time and place, and are convenient for transactions. It is a brand-new form of commercial retail, also known as a 24-hour micro-supermarket. How do vending machines attract consumers' eyes and realize sales? At this time, vending machine design is very important. Through industrial design, the sales performance of vending machines can be significantly improved.

In terms of appearance, the design of vending machines should be simple and beautiful, easy to identify, and give people a safe and reliable sensory experience. Many enterprises do not pay enough attention to the image of vending machines. They only pay attention to the functional design of the equipment, while ignoring the appearance design of the equipment. The appearance is relatively rough, and the equipment is too strong to attract people. This reduces people's trust in the equipment to a certain extent, reduces the utilization rate of the equipment, and then affects the sales of the product. At the same time, the designer should also take into account the factors of the products to be sold by the vending machine, and define the image style of the equipment according to the industry attributes of the products sold, so that people can know the products sold through the image of the equipment.

In terms of use, the design of vending machines should conform to ergonomics and people's usage habits, and strive to provide consumers with a simple and comfortable use experience. For example, in the design of the man-machine interface of the automatic vending machine, the height setting of the operation interface and the coin port should conform to the overall height of the user, which is convenient for the user to operate; the height of the whole machine should also be consistent with the overall height of the user; the payment function design should be diversified. According to the actual conditions, on the basis of coin payment, WeChat, Alipay, UnionPay and other payment methods should be added, improve the safety and reliability of equipment, etc.

With the rapid development of science and technology, automation is the future development trend. Whether it is manufacturing, service or retail, we will see more equipment replacing labor. Under such a big trend, the future of the vending machine industry is bright. Enterprises should improve the added value of equipment in the design of vending machines, improve their market competitiveness and gain competitive advantages.
