SandStar has debuted the SandStar VRK, an vending kiosk featuring AI computer vision.

The VRK aims to transforms the unattended retail experience into an elegant, high-performance storefront, according to a press release. It features a black design, four-camera protection and a proprietary 4G solution.

To address shrinkage and theft, the VRK introduces four-camera protection powered by real-time AI. The system instantly identifies and responds to any camera blockage through an illuminating handle and sound.

At the heart of the VRK is a self-learning AI engine designed to solve accuracy and recognition issues. From the very first transaction, the engine begins to evolve — becoming more precise and more intelligent with every use. To eliminate connectivity downtime, the VRK features a proprietary 4G solution with unlimited data and 24/7 oversight, ensuring unmatched stability and constant connectivity.
