Rhea Vendors Group SpA, a Varese, Italy-based vending machine manufacturer, and SECO SpA, an Arezzo, Italy-based provider technological innovation for IoT and AI solutions, have partnered to develop solutions vending, coffee service and retail, according to a press release.

The first step of this partnership envisages the adoption of Clea, an integrated software platform with IoT and artificial intelligence functionalities developed by SECO, on the new generation of Rhea vending machines.

Rhea will use a custom solution powered by SECO, an integrated system combining an edge platform and a human-machine interface which has recently entered the mass production phase.
