Coca-Cola Japan will be getting in on the 3D craze by launching a new vending machine that goes beyond the usual “flat” approach of most models.
From January next year consumers in Japan will start to see the 3D Vis machines around the country, equipped with sleek dynamic “three-dimensional curves” and design.
[The beverages manufacturer plans to install 980 thousand of the units by 2020, though the changes are not just aesthetic. They will come complete with LED lighting, mini solar panels and counters showing the social contributions the machine’s sales have made. And it certainly isn’t a surprise to see that these vendors are aiming to be as cashless as possible, loaded with multiple e-money options.
Anyone who has studied Japanese vending machines will also know that they are one of the most innovative sites for Japanese ecological developments. Coca-Cola has already done a lot of work here and the new vendors are definitely not a step in a different direction. They will be using non-CFC refrigerating systems and heat pumps in efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of each machine.
