Custom vending machine controllers
Most of the Vending Machine Controllers supplied by JCA Systems are customised for specific machines, or ranges of machines.
The pictures below illustrate a couple of the VMC’s we have designed and produced.
We have a large number of hardware and software modules available that we can cut and paste together to produce new VMC designs. Depending on the complexity of the application we are able to produce first prototypes in 6 - 8 weeks, however we have exceptionally produced a first production batch of 100 boards in under 5 weeks!
