VMFS USA launches secure, ad-enabled vending machines for regulated and high traffic markets

VMFS USA has expanded its vending portfolio with touchscreen machines that integrate digital advertising and advanced access controls, addressing growing demand for revenue diversification and regulatory compliance in unattended retail.

The ad-supported models include programmable video displays, providing operators with the opportunity to run promotional content or sell ad space to third parties. At the same time, the company introduced secure-access units equipped with ID scanning and facial recognition technology, designed for age-restricted products in markets such as airports, entertainment districts and college campuses.

According to VMFS, both product lines are MDB-compatible and support remote monitoring, cashless payments and customizable content management through the company’s digital platform. The lineup also accommodates specialty food formats such as boba tea, ramen and pizza, expanding options for nontraditional vending locations.

“These new models are a response to what our customers have been asking for — vending systems that serve specialized use cases while also offering more control and flexibility,” said Jose Perez, director of operations at VMFS USA.

Standard units ship in 5 to 7 business days, with custom configurations available for operators targeting specific use cases.
