Signal at the Machine: Why 4G or Wi-Fi Matters

Three Alnos Vending machines side by side: an AI smart cooler with a glass door, a coffee machine with a 22″ screen and a snack & drink machine with a 49″ touchscreen. Illustrative render.

A basement, a thick concrete ceiling, one bar of signal, and only by the window. Your phone can live with that. A machine, not necessarily. That’s why we check the signal before choosing the spot.

What the Machine Needs a Network For

  • cashless payments,
  • reporting sales and stock online.

That goes for all three models: the Coffee Machine, the Snack & Drink Machine and the AI Smart Cooler (AF-CFZ-510).

Signal or Wi-Fi

The spot needs mobile signal (4G); where the model supports it, Wi-Fi can work too. We check it along with the 230 V socket before choosing the spot. If there’s no signal, we say so plainly and look for another spot.

What’s Not Here

Router setup, SIM instructions or passwords. Alnos Vending handles that at installation. The company doesn’t configure the machine.

What You Can Check Yourself

Stand with your phone where the machine would go. How many bars? Is there company Wi-Fi for devices? Mention it in the inquiry. It’s one of the items on the list in the guide on what the site provides.

If the Network Drops

Report it to the number on the label: +48 84 300 10 10. Don’t restart the router “just to see” without checking with us, if the machine is connected to it. More questions in the FAQ.

Write to hello@alnosvending.pl, call +48 84 300 10 10, or fill in a Golden Ticket, the machine inquiry form (not a prize draw). One form, one conversation about your place.

One bar by the window isn’t enough. The machine likes full signal.
