I-Key Cashless In-Cup Vending

The I-key system is the cost-effective and flexible solution for cashless payment requirements. It provides total cost management and accountability in a variety of formats and is compatible with all of our in-cup hot drinks and combination vending machines associated with in-cup.

I Key

I – keys contactless technology ensures ruggedness and long term reliability. Cost effective and reliable there are no electro-mechanical moving or moving parts within the reader. I.Keys can reduce service call outs to machines resulting from jammed coin mechanisms. They can also save time an effort by not having to collect and count cash from the vending machine(s). I-Keys can be re-charged at the vending machine ( specified at placement of machine order ) or at the newly introduced re-charging unit below

Recharging Station

This new wall-mounted re-charging station now further enhances the systems overall flexibility by providing a separate point where users can top up their I-Keys. The recharger I-Key top-up station enables cash-free zones to be simply and reliably implemented at the point of service, thereby delivering security benefits to the site owner.
