Project Background
To address the growing demand of teachers and students for convenient, healthy beverages on campus, the JK86 Fully Automatic Freshly Ground Iced Coffee Vending Machine has been deployed in schools based on the core philosophy of "24/7 Service + Smart Campus Management + Youth-Friendly Experience". With its premium freshly ground coffee capabilities and flexible temperature control functions, the machine caters to the beverage needs of faculty and students across various scenarios such as teaching, self-study, and leisure. It stands as an innovative initiative in the development of the campus smart service system, and is particularly well-suited for the diverse consumption scenarios of universities and large-scale high schools.
Equipment Configuration Advantages
The machine is equipped with a 27-inch high-definition touch screen, supporting multiple payment methods including campus card payment, mobile QR code scanning, and cash, which seamlessly integrates with the campus one-card system. At its core, it features a 6L professional coffee bean hopper and a Swiss Ditting coffee grinder, ensuring consistent taste of freshly ground coffee. Built-in dual peristaltic pumps and 5 pieces of 4L ingredient tanks enable it to offer a wide range of beverage options such as coffee, milk tea, hot cocoa, and fruit juice, with support for seasonal limited-edition recipes.
It comes with a fully automated production process: automatic cup dropping (compatible with eco-friendly corn-based cups and standard paper cups), automatic cup sealing, rail conveying, and electromagnetic door control. The entire production process is closed and hygienic, with the time per cup kept under 50 seconds.
Integrated with a high-efficiency cooling, heating, and ice-making system, it boasts a maximum daily ice production capacity of 80KG, fully meeting the demand for cold drinks in summer. A visual window on the side showcases the entire beverage preparation process, enhancing interactive experience and consumer trust.
Operation & Management Features
The equipment supports dual-mode 4G/WiFi connectivity and is equipped with a customized campus backend system, offering the following management functions:
-
Time-Phased Control: Mute mode can be activated during teaching hours, and service can be limited or suspended during exams.
-
Consumption Limit Management: Supports setting daily/per-transaction spending caps to foster rational consumption habits among students.
-
Campus Card Integration: Connects with the campus one-card system to enable identity verification, subsidy disbursement, and consumption statistics.
-
Event Linkage Function: Allows setup of themed marketing campaigns for club activities, academic weeks, sports events, etc.
-
Nutrition Information Disclosure: Displays beverage ingredients and calorie content on the screen to promote healthy consumption awareness.
-
Energy-Saving Operation Mode: Automatically adjusts operating hours according to the academic calendar, and switches to low-power standby mode during vacations.
Operational Data Performance
In campus scenarios with approximately 5,000 teachers and students, the typical operational data of the JK86 is as follows:
-
Average Daily Sales Volume: 50–100 cups (over 150 cups during exam weeks and campus events)
-
Peak Hours: Before and after morning classes (7:30–9:00), lunch break (12:00–13:30), evening self-study (18:00–21:00)
-
Seasonal Preferences: Cold drinks account for over 75% in spring and summer; hot drinks make up more than 70% in autumn and winter
-
Average Transaction Value: 15–20% lower than that in off-campus scenarios, matching students' consumption power
-
Equipment Utilization Rate: Consistently above 85% during the academic year; automatically switches to low-power maintenance mode during summer and winter vacations
Under the managed operation mode, the comprehensive cost per cup is controllable. Flexible cooperation can also be carried out in conjunction with campus public welfare projects or student entrepreneurship programs, achieving a balance between social and economic benefits.
Campus Cooperation Value
-
Service Upgrade: Compensates for the limited beverage variety in traditional campus canteens and kiosks, providing round-the-clock instant service.
-
Scenario Integration: Can be flexibly deployed in libraries, teaching building lobbies, student activity centers, gymnasiums, etc.
-
Student Participation: Supports cooperation with student unions and entrepreneurship clubs for operation practices, serving as a training platform for student innovation and entrepreneurship.
-
Smart Campus Integration: Consumption data can be integrated into the campus big data platform to provide support for logistics management decision-making.
-
Environmental Advocacy: Uses biodegradable corn-based cups by default and supports "bring-your-own-cup discount" campaigns to cultivate green consumption awareness.
User Feedback
Students generally describe the machine as "convenient, fast, and cost-effective", and particularly appreciate its timely energy supply during exam weeks and late-night self-study sessions. Teachers and administrative staff recognize its "standardized management and reliable hygiene", with no need for additional on-site attendants. The campus logistics department reports that the equipment has effectively alleviated the pressure on beverage counters in canteens during peak hours, and has become a demonstration project for the digital upgrade of campus services.
