Asia Vending 2026: роботы, AI-автоматы и реальные фабрики Китая

In this episode, we conduct B2B reconnaissance at the Asia Vending & Smart Retail Expo 2026 in China, based on a client's request: we're not looking for the cheapest vending machine, but rather for factories, technologies, and solutions that will be able to operate reliably and generate revenue in 3-5 years. The industry's main challenge in 2026 is not equipment design, but its operational durability and technology. We examined in detail how to distinguish real factories from intermediary trading companies, analyzed the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into software and hardware of vending machines, and tested the flexibility of Chinese manufacturers to customize for Western markets. This issue features an analysis of technological solutions: from smart refrigerators (Smart Coolers) with computer vision to industrial rugged computers with OEM/ODM customization options starting from just one unit. We tested ready-made business models: cleaning robots, automated hotel delivery vehicles, AI-powered machines for custom printing on phone cases, and robotic bar counters. ✅ Planning to purchase vending equipment, smart retail solutions, OEM/ODM manufacturing, or launch a product under your own brand in China?
