Everything You Need to Know About Vendekin’s Hardware

Vendekin isn’t just “a machine.” It’s hardware + cashless + cloud engineered to run micro-retail with high uptime and clean governance. Below is a practical guide to our cabinets, dispensing systems, payments, security, and the vNetra cloud that ties it all together—so you can pick the right configuration for your sites and go live quickly.

The Core Stack (what ships standard)

• Cashless rails: UPI dynamic QR (PhonePe/GPay) + RFID (staff/tenant wallets).
  

• Fleet cloud: vNetra for live status, inventory planograms, FEFO/expiry alerts, promos, OTA updates, audit logs, and finance-ready exports.
  

• Modern UX: 22″ touch option with rich product cards and multi-vend cart;  Cashless checkouts

  (scan → browse/pay on phone → auto-vend).
  

• Security & governance: TLS APIs, signed firmware, encrypted storage, RBAC, maker–checker approvals, staged OTA with rollback.
  

• Build quality: tamper/tilt alarms, tempered glass, serviceable condenser, and door-seal health prompts.
