Two retail formats, one compact footprint
The Slim Multi-Size Retail Station is a hybrid self-service unit that combines a 16-spiral motorised vending module with 43 electronic locker compartments — delivering both impulse sales and order pickup in a single wall-mounted installation. With a capacity of up to 680 products and individual SKU configuration per spiral, it adapts to a wide range of product types, sizes, and retail flows.
Designed for retail environments, shopping malls, transport hubs, and mixed-use spaces where floor space is limited, the station operates fully unattended with an integrated 21.5″ touchscreen, unattended POS terminal, bill acceptor, UPS backup, and 4G LTE connectivity — covering both vending and click & collect in one device.

Operated Through One Platform.
Every unit ships with Bobnet OS pre-integrated — the device-resident operating system that standardizes electronics control, payment processing, connectivity, and real-time telemetry. From the moment the device goes live, it is remotely accessible: administrators can configure catalog and pricing through the Backoffice Web App, field teams manage replenishment and stock via the Ops Mobile App, and end-users interact through the on-device Kiosk UI or the End-User Mobile App. There is no separate software to deploy — the platform is already there.
Operations are governed through the Chain Management System, the orchestration layer that holds business logic — assortment rules, pricing models, access policies, payment flows, and reporting — and applies it consistently across every device in the network. Monitoring runs continuously through the Technical Console, which tracks device health, transaction anomalies, connectivity status, and inventory drift, routing exceptions into actionable workflows before they become operational problems. The result is a system that stays consistent, diagnosable, and scalable whether you run one unit or a hundred.
Available as Single Unit or as Part of a Chain. How This Device Operates in a Chain
This solution is available for deployment as a single autonomous unit — operational from day one, with no dependency on other devices. It connects to Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System independently, giving you full software visibility, cashless payments, and remote management from a single point.
Single Unit Deployment
- Plug & Play
- Independent
- Full software stack
Chain Deployment
- Unified rules
- Coordinated fleet
- Scaled operations
For organizations running multiple locations or higher-volume environments, this device is also available as part of a Chain — a structured group of units operating together under unified rules, shared catalog, and coordinated telemetry. A chain removes the need to manage each unit individually: pricing, replenishment workflows, and reporting are governed centrally, while each device executes autonomously on-site.
When deployed as part of a chain, this device becomes a managed node within a coordinated operational unit. The Chain Management System assigns it to a defined group — alongside other devices of the same or complementary type — and governs the entire group under shared rules: one product catalog, one pricing model, one replenishment policy. Each device in the chain executes those rules autonomously on-site, while all data — transactions, inventory levels, health states, alerts — flows back to the same unified reporting layer. There is no need to configure or monitor each unit separately; the chain behaves as one system.
Chains are the foundation of Human Free Process and STAFF FREE Networks — the higher automation levels where multiple device types work together to cover complete operational flows without on-site staff. A single chain of this device type can handle a discrete routine end-to-end: product access, payment, receipt, and exception handling. Multiple chains, connected through Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System, can cover an entire site or a multi-location network under one operational model. The architecture is designed to grow: you start with a chain, and when the business is ready, you extend it — same platform, same rules, larger network.
Retailers and operators need both impulse vending and order pickup capability but lack space or budget for two separate units.
Routine eliminated
Manual product handover, order collection coordination, and staffed retail counters.
Automation coverage
Both vending transactions and locker pickups are handled independently by customers.
Quantified impact (per location)
Key Operational Assumptions
Operational volume
Combined transactions per day: 60
Staff time per transaction: 3 minutes
Operating days per year: 360
Manual workload
60 × 3 = 180 minutes / day
180 ÷ 60 = 3 hours / day
3 × 360 = 1,080 hours / year
Automation effectiveness
Automated share: 95%
Adoption rate: 90%
Routine work eliminated
1,080 × 95% × 90% ≈ 924 hours / year
FTE
924 ÷ 2,000 = 0.46 FTE
Net operational impact
≈ 924 hours eliminated per year
≈ 0.46 FTE reallocated
Management outcome
Higher revenue density per square metre
Reduced staffing for both vending and collection flows
Single unit replaces two separate installations
