Improve efficiency of your vending business through DEX

While, vending industry is abuzz with technological innovations in vending machines, a number of vending business owners have adopted DEX in their vending operations. DEX is an acronym which stands for Digital EXchange. It is a Uniform Code Standard which was originally created for the grocery industry. This technology certainly increases the efficiency of your vending business as it provides accurate data on the following:

1. Cash Meter sales
2. Vend Count by column
3. Price set for each column
4. Value of Coin in the Coin box
5. Value of Bills in the bill stacker

Upto 25% boost in the overall sales can be witnessed with the help of DEX. This wireless data management saves time as well money which is involved in manual data collection. Planet Antares vending machines come fitted with DEX system and helps you to keep an effective control over your business operations.

How does DEX work?
The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) has established a communication protocol for the electronic retrieval of machine-level information. As a consequence, vending machines are now manufactured as DEX-enabled and are often labeled as DEX-compliant. DEX data retrieval can be accomplished via three distinct polling modes:

1.) Local polling
2.) Dial-up polling
3.) Wireless polling
Local polling incorporates a hand-held device (or pocket probe) designed to plug-connect to a machine-based DEX-port. Once the connection is established, the device is used to download transactional data. Dial-up polling (telephone line), and wireless polling enables remote access to DEX data without requiring a physical presence at the point of transaction.
