With a single compact terminal and the VMI module, the communication between the vending machine and the terminal is plug and play. In this way, the vending machine becomes a technologically advanced tool in accordance with the new regulations. Our MARS1000 terminal will be available also in a touch screen version and it can accept contactless, magnetic strip and chip cards, with and without PIN insertion, all in one device.”
