USA Technologies has been awarded a patent for its VM2iQ, an important technology in its EnergyMiser energy conservation product line targeted at the $46 billion drink vending industry.
The patent is for âMethod and Apparatus for Conserving Power Consumed by a Refrigerated Appliance Utilizing Audio Signal Detectionâ and protects the VM2iQ technology which enables automatic switching on and off of the energy savings mode of a vending machine by monitoring the sales from the vending machine. In fact this technology is responsible for savings of more than one-third of utility costs for vending machine operators.
The VM2iQ is the second generation of the VendingMiser which is installed internally, operates on audio signals. Several tens of thousands of vending machines already use the VM2iQ, including some of the biggest global retailers.
Increasingly, energy efficiency is becoming a key differentiator amongst vending machine manufacturers as operators look at greater efficiencies and reduced costs.
