Smart Coolers | Digit7

AI is transforming the vending industry, but replacing an entire fleet of vending machines can be costly. A smarter alternative is to retrofit AI vending machines, allowing operators to modernize existing equipment with intelligent retail technology while avoiding the expense of purchasing new units.

Digit7’s DigitCooler Retrofit enables businesses to convert compatible refrigerated vending equipment into AI-powered Smart Coolers that offer grab-and-go shopping, automated checkout, and real-time inventory visibility.

Customers simply tap their card/NFC/digital wallet to unlock the cooler, take the products they want, close the cooler door, and walk away while Computer Vision AI automatically identify purchases, updates inventory, and process payments.
