BELOW Mr Pitsnu says the launch of smart vending machines like Tao Bin is considered positive for the country's vending machine industry. She said the group used to import vending machines to sell canned drinks and other items, but decided to adjust its business model to robotic vending machines and provide the service around the clock in response to changing lifestyles. He said Sun Vending plans to install 2,000 new Sun 108 vending machines and 400-500 cup vending machines this year. "We have almost 15,000 vending machines in the market now, 3,000 of which are smart vending machines," said Mr Pitsnu. "The number of Sun 108 vending machines is projected to reach 20,000 units next year, of which 15,000 will be smart machines."
