LAS VEGAS -- American Green subsidiary PanPacific International showcased its SmartPan Pro Beverage Dispenser beer vending machine with age-restricted biometric age verification at last week's National Automatic Merchandising Association NAMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
 
Over the past two years, PanPacific International said it has continued to improve and enhance its vending technology, based on field testing and customer feedback. The SmartPan Pro model uses "ultra-accurate" finger-vein biometrics as the consumers' identifier to ensure that a user is of proper age to make a purchase.
 
The company's "system agnostic" approach means that the SmartPan Pro technology can be integrated with a variety of vending delivery hardware designs which enables it to accommodate the many different products and packages available on the market today.  The SmartPan Pro showcases each product in vivid high-resolution color images and the company designed the media-driven platform to be locally or remotely addressable allowing for constant monitoring.
 
The SmartPan Pro can be used for a variety of restricted products, such as beer and alcohol, over-the-counter medications, or just about any age-restricted or inventory-controlled item where positive age-identification from the purchaser is required.
 
The SmartPan Pro Beverage Dispensing beer vending machine empowers sporting events and other venues to provide consumer self-service, while its finger-vein biometric access control prevents ID sharing, ensuring only authorized users can gain access to the products within.  Once a member has completed a one-time registration and has been verified, they can simply log into any SmartPan Pro on the network using only their finger.
 
The operator can regulate several aspects of the sale, such as purchase limits and timeframe restrictions, as well as update prices or apply promo codes through the cloud-based management system from any Web-enabled PC or smartphone.
 
The SmartPan Pro delivers real time updates on sales, low-stock alerts, and a variety of configurable notifications. The easy-glide delivery system ensures carbonated products are gently delivered to the customer access area to eliminate the risk of "fizzing."  
 
American Green Inc. came to market in 2009 as one of the first manufacturers of a marijuana vending machines with verification technology.
