In certain situations, you may find it necessary to customize your vending machines in order to differentiate yourself from competitors. Whether you need a wider, taller, thinner, or shorter vending machine, KioskForce is here to assist you in tailoring it to your project’s requirements.
Customization Process
Factory and Structural Engineering
KioskForce manufacturing takes place across several partner facilities in China. Our largest partner facility, documented on the manufacturing facilities page, sits about 100km from Tianjin — the nearest ocean freight port, and also the nearest airport.
Timeline of Vending Machine Customization
Vending machine customization is a system engineering process. Overall lead time is 4–6 weeks for a customized standard model and 8–12 weeks for a fully custom enclosure with new tooling, with software customization scoped separately (see the FAQ). A fully custom design runs through these stages:
| Stage | Description | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Structure Design | Structural engineers need to design the vending machines to fit for requirements. | Typically it can be finished within 1 week with clear requirements and effective communication and feedback loop |
| Sample Manufacturing | The factory floor will manufacture a sample vending machine for testing. | Typically it can be finished within 2 weeks |
| Manufacturing Ramp-up | Once the client is satisfied with the sample vending machine, the factory will ramp up the manufacturing | The factory would take 2 weeks for ramping up to reach its max capacity and throughput |
Our partner factories produce around 600 units a month in total. Large orders are scheduled in batches after the sample is approved; the delivery schedule is confirmed on the quotation.
