Beverage or other vending machines can be integrated into the PC CADDIE card system. As a rule, PC CADDIE communicates with the vending machine via a DIVA (Digital Intelligent Vending Adapter). When the Mifare card is presented, the price stored in the DIVA the drink or product is dispensed. By using the DIVA, it is basically possible to use almost any vending machine with different interfaces such as MDB, BDV, VMC or executive to control.
Coffee machines with CCI1)-interface can be integrated even more closely into the PC CADDIE card system. Here (with CCI) it is possible to configure the prices directly in PC CADDIE. This means that you have additional options. For example, the prices can be made dependent on the card type and - just as an example - members pay less for coffee than guests. Or seminar participants pay nothing during the seminar, but afterwards they do and everyone else pays anyway. Or employees pay less for the coffee. Etc.
