Automated retail is the category of self-service, standalone kiosks in heavily trafficked establishments such as airports, malls and resorts.
The kiosks are usually a turn-key solution with the necessary hardware, technology and services required to maintain an automated, small-footprint retail store.
Consumers select products using a touchscreen interface, pay for purchases using a credit or debit card and then the product is dispensed, sometimes via an internal robotic arm in the machine.
