VENDING TELEMETRY WHAT KIND OF VENDING MACHINES COULD BE MONITORED REMOTELY Only vending machines and payment systems conforming the standard for the Electronic Data Transfer, named EVA-DTS, could be monitored remotely. EVA-DTS is a global standard for the electronic transfer of data in the vending industry. EVA - DTS offers the possibility of exchanging information between vending machines and other equipment - portable handheld terminals, modems.
VENDING TELEMETRY WHAT CAN EVA-DTS DO FOR THE OPERATOR The advantage of having a standard is clearly and evidently that the operator can read out data from vending machines from different manufacturers by means of the same data collector, and have this information exchanged with his own management system, adapted to his way of running his business. I.e. the operator decides which information he needs for running his business in the best possible way. The operator can make demands on the suppliers of vending machines and payment systems about which information he needs to have read in and read out of the machine within the frames of EVA - DTS.
