Locations, Permits and Operation
Permit and Choice of Location
On private property, the owner's consent is enough. On public ground (pavement) you need a special-use permit from the city. What matters is a solid foundation (concrete slab) to anchor the machine against tipping over and theft. The power supply must be laid weatherproof.
Petrol Stations and Farm Shops
A petrol station extends its shop outdoors: the outdoor machine sells snacks and drinks around the clock, even when the till area is closed. The digital signage screen plays out local offers and advertising.
Train Stations and Public Space
At train stations and stops, a weatherproof outdoor machine opens up high footfall without staff. It sells at night and in any weather and generates extra revenue at minimal running costs.
Why Outdoor Makes the Difference
Technical Specifications
Our outdoor machines work with standardised interfaces (MDB, DEX/DDCMP). Software updates run over-the-air (OTA). The payment terminal supports all common methods. The telemetry sends data via WiFi or mobile network (SIM). Display options: 15–43 inch, Full-HD, optionally with touch.
Costs and Financing
Machines with an outdoor build are priced at 3,000–15,000 € (purchase). Rental from a one-day term, leasing from 99 €/month. The surcharge over basic models pays off quickly through higher revenue and advertising income.
Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Machines
No, thanks to the thermostat and heating the interior stays frost-free (usually > 4°C).
The housing takes a lot. Should something happen anyway, your insurance steps in (contents/electronics). We supply spare parts quickly.
For outdoor we recommend card payment first. Cash boxes are extra armoured.
The machine has a rain roof. An additional shelter is still recommended so the customer does not stand in the rain while buying.
Due to heating and cooling, consumption is higher than with indoor units, expect around 5–8 kWh/day depending on the weather. In winter the heating draws more, in high summer the cooling. That is the price for a machine that sells reliably at -20 °C and +40 °C. Our models use efficient compressors and heavy-duty insulation to limit the extra consumption. A brightness sensor dims the screen at night. At good outdoor locations with high footfall, the extra revenue and the DOOH advertising income usually cover these running costs comfortably.
Yes, for public space they are built tough: impact-resistant safety glass, anti-graffiti coating, drill-resistant locks and pry protection. For cash we recommend card payment first outdoors, and the cash box is additionally armoured. A solid concrete foundation with floor anchoring secures the machine against tipping over and theft. Should something happen anyway, your insurance covers contents and electronics, and we supply spare parts quickly. This toughness is the core difference to the indoor unit: a simple machine put outside withstands neither the weather nor a break-in attempt for long.
Yes, this is mandatory. Mounting hardware for concrete foundations is included.
