VENDING PRESS RELEASE  - Palm City, FL, United States, 03/06/2008 - Brightboard bills itself as the first digital signage system to offer low cost, easy set-up and a simple update process in either a stand-alone or network accessible, solid-state package. POP AdVisions Inc. has introduced its Brightboard Digital Display System to the vending industry. The company claims that several industries are already using Brightboard Digital Signs to advertise within their organization as an electronic greeter board, special events calendar, education awareness, book promotions, specials, etc. Some of these industries including restaurants, public libraries, colleges and universities, banks, funeral homes and more.
Mitchell Sitcov, owner of POP AdVisions, Inc. bills the Brightboard as the first digital signage system to offer low cost, easy set-up and a simple update process in either a stand-alone or network accessible, solid-state package. Instead of a static printed message, the Brightboard uses a color LCD to display a continuous loop of high resolution images and/or full motion videos to inform, educate, entertain and influence the viewers. It is a solid state system that runs off of compact flash cards.
The company claims system plays JPEG files and MPEG videos and content creation is very easy. Content can be created on your existing PC with several existing software packages that the user may be familiar with, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Windows Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Ulead Studio, Slideshow Creators and much more. Once the content is created, the user simply drags and drops the files to the compact flash card using the included USB reader/writer. Then simply insert the compact flash card into the system and turn it back on. Network accessible models are available.
The Brightboard Digital Display System is state-of-the-art and manufactured in the U.S. -
Using virtually any imaging software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, a user can display Jpeg or Mpeg videos anywhere within traffic flow.

VENDING PRESS RELEASE: MEI Develops Software Update Allowing Vending and Amusement Machines to Accept New $5 Bill

WEST CHESTER, Pa., January 16, 2008 – MEI, the world’s leading developer of unattended payment systems, has developed recognition software for the new $5 bill entering circulation on March 13. Beginning Jan. 15, all products shipped by MEI will include the new software.
 MEI worked closely with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) in designing the new recognition software. The software supports the multiple security levels incorporated in the new bill design to reduce the chance of fraud. MEI is releasing the software well ahead of the bill’s official launch date to give operators adequate time to update their existing products.
MEI offers operators several options to quickly upgrade their bill validators in the field.  Operators can easily upgrade most MEI products with the software by using a handheld bill programming device.  Product-specific instructions are available on MEI's Currency Upgrade web page at http://vendupgrade.meigroup.com.
“Seamless and secure acceptance of new currency designs is critical to vending and amusement operators” said Jeff Jordan, executive vice president of MEI’s global vending and amusement business. “With MEI’s new recognition software, operators can be confident that their products will accept the new $5 bill from the day it enters circulation.”
For high performance in both bill handling and security, MEI bill validators operate with optical sensing technology rather than magnetic technology. They reliably accept new, highly secure currency designs as well as earlier designs still in circulation. 
About the New $5 Bills
The new $5 bills, like the $10, $20 and $50 notes introduced over the last few years, incorporate advanced security features to combat counterfeiting, including color-shifting ink, a watermark and security thread. These features are easy to use for consumers and cash handlers alike, and they will help to maintain global confidence in U.S. currency. To learn more about the new $5 bill, visit http://www.moneyfactory.gov/newmoney
According to the Federal Reserve and BEP:
  • Approximately 1.5 billion of the new $5 notes will be printed for its initial rollout.
  • The changes made to the $5 note will raise the cost of production from about 7 cents to about 8 cents.
  • The average lifespan of a $5 note in circulation is 16 months, the shortest of any U.S. paper currency. (A $100 note will last 89 months – more than 7 years.)
  • $5 notes represent about 9 percent of all U.S. paper currency.
About MEI
MEI, headquartered in West Chester, Pa., holds the world’s largest installed base of unattended payment systems, handling over 2 billion transactions per week in more than 100 countries. The company developed the first electronic coin mechanism in the 1960s, followed by the first electronic non-contact bill acceptor, and more recently its credit card capability and vending management solution. Recently, MEI reached a milestone of selling more than 4 million bill acceptors and 5 million coin mechanisms worldwide. Its products are in widespread use in the vending, soft drink, gaming, amusement, transportation, retail, and kiosk markets.

VENDING PRESS RELEASE: WVA under new Chairmanship -  The Worldwide Vending Association (WVA) is under new leadership.  As of January 2008, and for a 2-year mandate Chairman Eddie Hicks, a vastly experienced operator, will lead the international vending organisation. He takes over from Augusto Garulli, who has been the Chairman since 2006. Bringing a wealth of experience, more than 20 years as a vending operator, having served in key positions since 1993 on the Board of Directors of the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA), and becoming NAMA Chairman in 1999, as well as serving on the WVA Board of Directors since its founding in 2006, the new WVA Chairman’s expertise will be a great asset to the worldwide vending community.   Mr. Hicks is no newcomer to serving and chairing various committees such as the Food Safety Advisory Committee of the New York State Department of Health or the NAMA Ethics Committee, to name a few, which will be an added benefit to the WVA when facing current and future regulatory hurdles around the globe.  Says Eddie Hicks: “The Worldwide Vending Association (WVA) was formed to promote the interests of the vending industry on a global basis.  It has been very encouraging for me to see the progress that the WVA has made since being formed in 2006.  Industry concerns that overlap various countries can best be addressed by the coordinated efforts of WVA and those efforts are now being made and producing results.”
“The global vending community is already benefitting from the efforts of the WVA, which serves as the informational centre, as well as the global representative for our industry to other global organizations.”
“I look forward to serving as Chairman of WVA in 2008-2009 and will devote my efforts to continuing WVA’s efforts to identify and act on industry concerns of a global nature.  One of our major efforts will be to increase our membership in order to be even more representative as an organisation benefitting the worldwide vending community.”

The WVA, founded in 2006, was formed to promote and protect the interests of vending on a global basis.  It speaks on behalf of the vending industry in 24 countries and represents 20,000 companies operating some 10 million vending machines.  The WVA strongly believes that wherever decisions are made, or policies devised, which may affect the vending industry, its stakeholders need to be aware and make every effort to influence decision-making.    With the support of the vending industry worldwide, it has a say in matters such as coinage and banknote design, health and wellbeing, and environmental regulations. Furthermore, it will continue to work towards unified plug and play standards for the industry, and serve as a knowledge centre on vending technologies and innovation

VENDING PRESS RELEASE: The EVA announces that its EVA CVS 1.3 is now finalised and available.  It has been endorsed by the US Vending Association NAMA, as the standard for Cashless Vending. The main innovation is the ability to fit a compact reader to  table top machines.
Says Mr. Jürgen Göbel, the newly appointed Chairman of the Cashless Committee:
“The objective of the specification is to provide information and advice for an easier and faster adaptation and implementation of cashless vending solutions to all operators in their businesses. Although cash still dominates in the vending industry with increasing costs for its handling, the CVS helps promote cashless payments in vending in order to reduce costs and add value and services. This specification builds a bridge between the vending industry and the card payment scheme suppliers as well as the equipment suppliers. It clearly separates the application of the vending machine from the application of the cashless payment device by using the standardized MDB protocol and a clear user interface description. The registration is an easy process of self-certification which demonstrates a clear commitment of the manufacturer to allow mutual compatibility of the vending machine and the cashless payment device. The Cashless Committee encourages equipment supplier companies to apply for registration. This will promote the specification and finally increase the use of cashless vending”.
Catherine Piana, Director General of the EVA, further commented: “I am very pleased with the release of the EVA-CVS 1.3., which has received strong support by the industry and by our US counterparts, NAMA. The EVA is eager to help develop solutions that will improve the efficiency of operator businesses as well as reducing costs”.
About the EVA : The European Vending Association represents the whole of the vending industry: machine, machine component and accessories manufacturers, ingredient suppliers and operators.  The primary aim of the EVA is to optimise the industry’s commercial interests within the EU legislation, serve as a forum of discussion and exchange of ideas and experience for its members as well as draft standards for the industry. The EVA members are 18 national associations and 49 companies. http://www.vending-europe.eu

VENDING NEWS PRESS RELEASE : YO NATURALS LAUNCHES HEALTHY VENDING INTIATIVE IN NEW HAVEN
YoNaturals (
www.yonaturals.com) launches healthy vending program in New Haven with the introduction of its “YoZone” vending machines. YoNaturals is seeking area locations that are interested in offering healthier options in their vending machines.
New Haven, CT -- Daily trips to the vending machine may not add up to much in dollars, but it sure does add a lot to your waistline. No longer is that the case thanks to the YoNaturals Inc. healthy vending program. YoNaturals offers a healthier alternative to the junk food vending machines with the introduction of its “YoZone”, a hi-tech vending machine that is dedicated to vending only natural and organic snacks and beverages. YoNaturals is actively seeking New Haven area locations that want to join them in the healthy vending revolution. YoNaturals has teamed up with local distributor, MCM Vending, to spread the word that healthy vending machines would benefit any company or business.
“I love the YoNaturals's concept of having healthy foods readily available everywhere to people, whether it's at their work or at the local shopping mall,” says Mari Mariano of MCM Vending. “People are constantly busy and need energy to get them through their day. The YoZone products will give people the proper energy because these snacks are actually healthy and nutritious.”
In a market previously dominated by “junk food,” YoNaturals offers a healthier vending alternative for schools, corporate offices, shopping centers, fitness centers and much more. Each machine is filled with items such as Vitamin Water, Clif Bars, Function Drinks, Fiji Water, Hansens Natural, Kashi Granola Bars, Guru sugarless, caffeine free energy drinks, Pirates Booty, Stacys Pita Chips, Tazo Iced Tea and more. In fact, YoNaturals offers over 150 healthy products. Each YoZone machine displays customized graphics to match various location types, giving them a colorful and fresh feeling, much different from the dark and bleak look of traditional vending machines.
“With our success in other markets across the country, the timing couldn't be better for New Haven locations to have the YoZone machines in their buildings,” says Mark Trotter, CEO of YoNaturals. “We salute the few brave and forward-thinking companies that have taken steps to introduce healthy eating to people.”
Local manufacturing company, The Kerite Company, recently installed two YoZone machine because it wanted to create a healthier environment for its employees. “We're leaning towards a healthy workforce and we thought these machines would be beneficial. A lot of organizations today are focusing on wellness just as we are, and we are doing everything possible to help our employees be healthy,” says Kerite Human Resources Director, Alicia Gisell. “I think having healthy vending machines is a good reminder to our employees to make healthy choices. Ultimately, the healthier the employee is, the better they are, and it benefits our company and productivity.”
YoNaturals's high-tech and innovative machines have made vending your favorite healthy snack a breeze with its unique credit and debit card payment option. State-of-the-art remote monitoring technology (wireless) ensures that YoZone machines are always stocked with an array of tasty and nutritious items. YoNaturals operators can oversee machine activity through a 24/7 on-line reporting system that notifies if a YoZone needs to be refilled or requires maintenance.
“A lot of people in our gym want to be healthy and wanted healthy snacks available, then here came along YoNaturals and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, says Tony Salamanca, General Manager of Ultimate Fitness of New Haven. “Usually, when you think of vending machines, you think of unhealthy high sugar products. YoNaturals changes that notion and I hope that as long as people have options, they will make the healthy choice. The way the world is now, it's very easy to get unhealthy food from vending machines and a lot of people suffer the consequences in making such unhealthy decisions.”
According to a 2006 report by the Trust for America's Health advocacy group, Connecticut has adult obesity rates of almost 20% and it was also one of the 31 states where obesity rates rose from the previous year in 2005. YoNaturals believes the vending machine industry, which is not regulated by the USDA, is partially to blame for the rising obesity rates and they are taking it upon themselves to make a change. The need for healthier snacks and beverages in vending machines is evident and YoNaturals wants other to join them on their crusade to be at the forefront of the health revolution.
“There is no cost for a location to have a healthy vending machine installed. All one has to do to sign up to receive a machine is to visit www.yonaturals.com, fill out our 'Become a Location' form, and they will be contacted immediately by YoNaturals, says Trotter.
YoNaturals adds a healthy element to the popularity and convenience of vending machines with its nutritious snacks and beverages. The arrival of the YoZone vending machines promotes the message that healthy lifestyles are more achievable than ever. YoNaturals is convinced that finally vending machines can be associated with a leading movement in consumer health and wellness.

Vending News Release: VeoVend Overcomes Challenges Facing European Vending Market
Sheffield, UK, 09 January 2008 - GWD Media Ltd is driving intelligent device management across the global vending industry with the launch of its cutting edge solution, VeoVend. The powerful solution enables operators to manage and monitor a network of vending machines from a single interface. It can be accessed remotely through a web browser wherever users have access to the Internet. Alternatively technicians and supervisors in the field can interact via inexpensive industry standard mobile phones or PDAs.
The solution has been developed to address the challenges currently facing the vending market in Europe and elsewhere. As the Western European vending market approaches maturity, operators are being forced to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and widen service portfolios in order to survive and prosper.
The European Vending Association is urging the 10,000 operators currently servicing the 26 Billion European vending industry to improve efficiencies through reducing transportation costs, lost sales and wasted time and energy.
Through real time reporting, VeoVend enables operators to uplift revenues, maximise uptime and diminish costs through instant usage and revenue analysis, remote fault diagnostic reporting and superior inventory control and resource management. The end consumer ultimately benefits from improved reliability and product availability, leading to enhanced customer satisfaction and improving vending s negative image across the European market.
The Chief Executive of GWD Media, James Oladujoye explains,  In contrast to America and the Far East, vending tends to have a dirty and grubby image across Western Europe. This is highlighted by the fact that consumers in the US can now purchase high value products, such as iPods and Nike sports wares, instantly on demand through vending machines .
VeoVend is delivered through a  pay to use  delivery model, which enables operators to focus on their core business, whilst eliminating large upfront IT expenditure, reducing IT resources required in-house and streamlining installation, update and support issues.

News Release: eSecure Unveils 'Bridge' To Integrate Cashless Vending With Other Retail Point-of-Sale Accounting Technologies MONTREAL, QC, Canada - eSecure Peripherals Inc. which markets cashless-payment "eStore" hardware and software for vending and other self-service equipment, has introduced a product designed to unify this application and wide variety of cashless manual systems. "eServeFMS" is a version of eSecure's flagship "eStore" product that couples the vending with portfolio management system. For example, the company reports, vending often is ignored in hotel applications, because there has been no link between the vending pricing-and-credit logic and the in-house accounting software. "'eServerFMS' solves this problem by acting as a bridge between the two systems," eSecure explained. "Vending machines communicate through 'eServerFMS', which sends messages to the accounting system for authentication." Thus, hotels (and other site-based application) can add cashless vending for greater guest convenience. The first point-of-sale software supplier to incorporate, "eServerFMS" is JPMA Inc. (Golden, CO), a United States company that markets its flexible point-of-sale software in 40 nations around the world, and now is entering the U.S. market. JPMA has installed more than 120,000 POS terminals globally, and now offers U.S. retailers unprecedented freedom from dependence on proprietary hardware. Thus, eSecure's "eServerFMS" is a good fit with the JPMA suite of retail software solutions. "The ability to marry the POS and vending applications for our customers opens many new doors and expands our market," said JPMA's James Magee. (More on JPMA's innovative products can be found online at the company's website, www.jpma.com or Call: 1-303-232-3700.
"Just like the Internet lets different applications communicate, 'eServerFMS' connects vending to a world of cashless applications," said Allen Brown, president of eSecure Peripherals. "'eServerFMS lets application builders use the capabilities of cashless vending, and 's Store' version 4, in a matter of days instead of months."
