AS-G series

Smart Fridge & Grab-and-Go Machine

No spirals and no chute. The customer opens the door, takes what they want, and the machine charges them for it.

Open the door, take it, walk away

What it does

A spiral machine decides what you can sell: it has to be a shape a coil will push and a drop will survive. A smart fridge removes that constraint entirely. The customer authenticates at the door, takes whatever they want off the shelf, closes it, and is charged for what they removed.

That opens up everything a normal vending machine cannot handle — sandwiches, salads, cut fruit, curd, tiffin boxes, bakery, whole fruit and vegetables. For offices and hostels running a genuine fresh-food programme, this is usually the machine they actually needed.

Ordering options: Three builds with different charging technology and, importantly, different minimum order quantities.

Key features

  • No spirals, no dropProduct is lifted off a shelf by hand, so shape, weight and fragility stop being constraints on what you can sell.
  • RFID or sensor-based chargingOne build tags each item with RFID; others use door sensors and weight. Which suits you depends on your product mix and margins.
  • Fresh food capableChilled cabinet suited to sandwiches, salads, cut fruit, curd and prepared meals — the categories a spiral machine handles badly or not at all.
  • Mini-supermarket cabinetA larger build with high capacity, for sites that want breadth rather than a handful of selections.
  • Connected by WiFi or SIMStock, sales and door events reported remotely, which is necessary rather than optional on an open-door machine.
  • Access controlThe door opens only to an authenticated customer, which is what makes an unattended open fridge workable.

Dimensions, weight, powerConfirmed on the quotation for the configuration you choose

We publish what we can stand behind. Dimensions, weight and power draw vary with configuration, so those are confirmed on your quotation with the full manufacturer spec sheet attached — rather than printed here as a number that might not match what you receive.

Two of these three builds have a minimum order of 5 and 10 units. That is not a machine you place to test a site — it is a container-load commitment, and you should have the placements agreed before you order. If you want to prove the concept at one location first, the mini-supermarket cabinet is available as a single unit, or a chilled spiral machine will get you most of the way for far less exposure.

This is not an exhaustive list, and a site being on it does not guarantee the machine will earn there. Footfall, dwell time and what else is available nearby matter more than the category. Send us the specifics and we will give you a straight answer.
