Step-by-Step Guide to Transform Your Fridge

Step 1: Attach the AI Box

Position the AI box from your AI kit on top of the fridge door. The two cameras should have a full view of the inside to record the complete purchase process. This is crucial for product recognition and accurate billing.

Step 2: Prepare the Door for the Smart Lock

Drill a small hole in the fridge door where the electronic lock will be installed. Mount the smart lock on top of the fridge and connect it to the AI box. This ensures the fridge remains locked until an approved transaction is made.

Step 3: Install the Power Supply

Attach the power supply from your AI kit to the fridge. Depending on the location, you may need a protective cover to keep rain or dust away. Connect the power supply directly to the AI box.

Step 4: Set Up the Industrial Router

Place the industrial router inside or near the fridge. Connect its power cable to the power supply and link it to the AI box with the LAN cable. This ensures your AI vending fridge stays connected for payment processing and monitoring.

Step 5: Install the Card Reader

Attach the card holder securely to the fridge surface. Insert the card reader into the holder. This allows customers to make cashless payments quickly and easily.

Step 6: Add the Metal Plate

Finally, attach the provided metal plate to the top section of the fridge door to complete the lock mechanism. Once in place, your regular fridge is now a fully functional AI vending machine.

Testing Your New AI Fridge

Open the door, select multiple products, and close the door. The system will automatically lock and register the items taken. This seamless process is what makes an AI fridge so efficient for both operators and customers.
