BioLife Sciences Inc., a provider of antimicrobial products and non-contact human temperature screening technology, has introduced touchless vending machines and marketplaces to assist consumers in the wake of the recent ongoing health crisis, according to a press release.

BioLife's vending machines will help to eliminate physical touchpoints and allow customers to remotely view menus of available options on an app prior to making a secure payment on their smartphone. The vending and marketplaces provide consumers a range of personal protection equipment and antimicrobial and health care products.

The machines provide an interface for the consumer to scan a machine-unique QR code and be redirected to an app with the full platform of options available at that particular location. Consumers can then view full product options and information directly on their smartphone and proceed to make one or multiple secure, cashless purchases.

Payment options include Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal and credit/debit cards.

The digital vending machines also provide digital advertising options equipped with engaging ads, targeted brand promotion, digital rewards and loyalty programs, mobile digital marketplace opportunities and augmented reality marketing ads powered by Geogram. Machine operators can directly engage consumers at a personal level, email about product specials, track previous product purchases and remotely adjust pricing to offer the consumer a unique and safe mobile interactive experience.
