MALVERN, PA.—USA Technologies launched the next generation VM2iQ with improved customer benefits, greater market appeal and for a lower price. USA Technologies has reduced the cost of manufacturing the new VM2iQ technology, enabling the company to lower the price and improve return on investment for their customers. The new VM2iQ has an ROI that in most cases is less than nine months.
The newly manufactured VM2iQ was designed to respond to growing customer demand, and comes with all the features of the original VM2iQ. It incorporates the same innovative, intelligent technology that installs inside the vending machine to control the cooling system, allowing the lighting and controller electronics to stay on while the machine is in energy-savings mode.
USA Technologies has reported that EnergyMiser sales are trending approximately 35 percent higher over last year, with the biggest increases in the next generation VendingMiser VM2iQ where sales have more than doubled.
New Product is RoHs Compliant
A distinctive upgrade to the new generation VM2iQ is that it is now RoHs compliant. RoHs restricts the use of hazardous materials in electronic products in an effort to reduce the stream of hazardous waste sent to landfills. California and a growing list of U.S. states are proposing mandates for the use of RoHs compliant products. This also meets an EU Market directive that bans the use in Europe of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed upon levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
“With many hundreds of thousands energy saving devices distributed to our customers worldwide, our EnergyMiser technology is the only patented, tried and proven energy management system successfully delivering up to 46 percent energy savings in commercial appliances,” said Wendy Jenkins, vice president of marketing, USA Technologies. “It is also the only energy saving device that is RoHs compliant and meets the performance and environmental needs of the global market. We believe USA Technologies is the undisputed leader in energy savings products for commercial appliances worldwide.”
USA Technologies already includes among its EnergyMiser customers global bottling companies, America’s military bases and national parks, Fortune 50 companies, including the biggest retail chain in the world, and many of America’s biggest supermarket chains.
USA Technologies estimates that the EnergyMiser product line could potentially save the United States about $1.5 billion dollars, 15.3 billion kilowatt hours and almost 23 billion pounds of C02 annually if installed in four million vending machines and 10 million glass front coolers installed nationwide.
