Advanced Container-Based Vending System for Wine, Water and Beverages – Industrial Technology with Full 24/7 Sales Control

In today’s wine and mineral water market, the real challenge is not only producing well, but selling better: protecting margins, managing stock, tracking flows, securing payments, and doing it 24 hours a day.

The REVOLUTION 20 2.0 Special was designed with this logic in mind: not a simple vending machine, but a technological platform housed inside a 20’ High Cube container, ready to be installed and operational in tourist areas, town squares, wineries, mineral water springs, logistics hubs, or company premises.

It is industrial automation applied to direct sales.

A Smart 20-Lane Storage System

At the core of the system is a high-capacity automated warehouse.

It features 20 storage lanes, arranged on 4 overlapping levels, each composed of 5 parallel lanes.

Each lane can hold up to 35 packages, for an overall average capacity of approximately 768 units, depending on the format (for example, 1.5 or 2-liter square packages).

Maximum package dimensions:

  • Width: 200 mm

  • Length: 310 mm

  • Height: 350 mm

Compatible with:

  • Bottled water

  • Beer

  • Bag-in-box wine

  • Coffee capsules or pods

  • Other packaged products within compatible dimensions

Each lane is driven by a chain with push paddles that convey the product toward the robotic handling system.

Activation is managed through gear motors with patented automatic clutches, ensuring precision, safety, and operational continuity.

The pushing speed is 10 meters per minute, adjustable depending on cycle settings.

Dual-Axis Robotic Arm: Industrial Precision

The picking system is based on a 2-axis robotic arm (X and Y) with transfer grip.

  • X axis: ball recirculation guides, closed-loop chain motorization, encoder reading

  • Y axis: ball recirculation guides, closed-loop chain motorization, encoder reading

Inverters integrated with encoders allow axis interpolation to optimize picking and unloading times.

The result is higher speed, reduced wear, and greater reliability.

A belt conveyor installed on the arm shelf can pick up to 2 packages per cycle and direct them toward the exit system.

Dual Guillotine Exit System: Security and Control

The ejection system is designed to guarantee:

  • Protection against tampering

  • Product safety

  • Controlled flow management

It consists of a double guillotine mechanism positioned above the discharge belt:

  1. The robotic arm deposits the product into the compartment with the first guillotine open.

  2. The first guillotine closes automatically.

  3. The second guillotine opens, allowing controlled release toward the free-roller conveyor.

This mechanism prevents unauthorized access inside the machine.

Control Panel: Industry 4.0 Ready

The REVOLUTION 20 2.0 Special integrates an advanced management system.

Main components:

  • 2.0 sheet metal panel with increased depth, weather-protected

  • Internal air conditioning unit for cooling and dehumidifying monitors and payment systems

  • Industrial PC with data exchange toward basic warehouse management software

The industrial PC enables:

  • Integration with management software

  • Sales traceability

  • Remote monitoring

  • Compliance with Industry 4.0 technological requirements

Electrical setup requires:

  • A 0.3 A differential switch

  • An Ethernet cable for data connection

Integrated and Autonomous Payment Systems

The system is designed to maximize revenue collection and simplify financial management.

It includes:

  • Coin acceptor with change dispenser (Innovative Technology – hopper)

  • Banknote reader with change dispenser (NV200 Innovative Technology)

  • MYPOS Sigma card terminal

The myPOS Sigma terminal features:

  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and integrated SIM

  • Electronic money account with free IBAN

  • Immediate transaction settlement

  • Compatibility with magnetic stripe, chip, and contactless cards

It allows SEPA/SWIFT transfers to any bank account worldwide.

No dedicated traditional bank account is required.
It operates autonomously and does not require external apps.

Optional:

  • CRT288 age verification reader (for alcohol sales)

  • Internal lockable protection box for readers and coin systems

Customer Interface: Simple and Modern Experience

The customer interacts through:

  • 21” touch screen

  • 32” monitor (optional for advertising)

  • Audio system (optional) with voice guidance

Through the touch screen, users can:

  • Select product and quantity

  • View total amount

  • Choose payment method

The system automatically manages change for cash payments.

20’ High Cube Container: Ready-to-Use Structure

The vending system is installed inside a 20-foot High Cube container, ready for operational installation.

Dimensions:

  • Length: approximately 6000 mm

  • Width: approximately 2400 mm

  • Height: approximately 2900 mm

Technical features:

  • 40 mm insulated walls

  • Complete electrical system

  • Wall-mounted air conditioning unit

  • Marine plywood flooring with metal sheet covering

It is a self-contained, transportable, and immediately installable structure.

Why It Is a Strategic Solution for Wineries and Mineral Water Sources

This system is not just a vending machine. It is a tool for:

  • Direct margin control

  • 24/7 sales without personnel

  • Controlled stock rotation

  • Traceability and management integration

  • Monetization of tourist areas or corporate spaces

For a winery, it means selling wine, bag-in-box, or complementary products continuously, even outside opening hours.

For a mineral water source, it means controlling the territory, eliminating intermediaries, and collecting revenue in real time.

Here, technology is not decorative; it is functional to economic performance.

The future of direct sales is not only digital. It is physical, automated, integrated, and remotely controllable.
