Abstract:
Bevarage Vending Machines were in existence as early as 215 B.C. . The ancient Egyptians were
using a device that has been identified to dispense holy water at places of worships after depositing
a coin. In the United States, vending machines were introduced in 1888 when the Adams Gum
company started to sell their penny gum products using such machines. Vending machines are
popular now in India also as one can see them almost everywhere. Vending machines are now an
essential equipment at Railway Stations, Airport, Bus Stations, fast-food restaurants, Hospitals,
super markets and even in office complexes.
