An AI micromarket is a smart vending setup built around a refrigerated (or ambient) cabinet that uses neural vision to identify products as they’re taken. Think of it as an intelligent vending machine without spirals: customers unlock the door, grab what they want, close the door, and payment happens automatically.
You’ll also see these called AI vending machines, smart vending machines, AI smart coolers or refrigerator vending kiosks. Whatever the label, the goal is the same: frictionless, unattended retail that fits in offices, gyms, lobbies, campuses, hotels, and transport hubs.
Why Neuroshop
Vision built for real life. A 3-camera rig (two at the top of the door frame, one at the bottom) covers every shelf and angle, so the system sees single items, multi-grabs, put-backs, and swaps
Add new SKUs overnight. Record a short 360° video of the product; we generate a synthetic dataset and train automatically so detection is ready by morning.
Fast, natural checkout. Customers open, take, and go. No scanning codes on every item, no selecting anything in advance.
Flexible formats. Available as fridge (0…+8 °C) or ambient case; same AI brain, different use cases.
Payments your way. Mobile app, POS terminal, Apple Pay & Google Pay. Loyalty and receipts included.
Operator tools that matter. Live inventory, planograms, low-stock alerts, remote health, automatic price updates, and analytics.
Security & compliance. Optional pre-auth, customer trust scoring, anti-tamper, temperature logs and full telemetry.
Made for EU & UK deployments. We deliver to the EU, the UK and the UAE. All other regions by request.
Unlock: Tap a card on the POS or scan the QR with the Neuroshop app.
Take: Open the door and take whatever you want. Neural vision tracks hands and items in real time.
Close & go: We match movements to products and charge automatically. A receipt lands in the app.
Neural Vision, explained
Our neural vision uses the cabinet’s three cameras plus AI models trained on your exact products.
3-camera coverage. Two cameras up top, one near the bottom hinge line, so labels, shapes, and silhouettes are visible even when customers tilt or rotate items.
Product models per SKU. The system learns packaging, geometry, and visual cues for each item.
Put-back aware. If a customer changes their mind, the session reconciles correctly - no false charges.
Multi-item detection. Grabbing two drinks at once or a sandwich + dessert in one motion is handled.
Lighting tolerant. Robust to day/night cycles and reflections; the synthetic dataset generates a wide variety of possible lightings.
With privacy in mind. In 95% cases - the videos never leave the device and get erased automatically. For unclear cases, only 1 video from top-camera is reviewed and anything from beyond the device is cut out.
Add products overnight
Point your phone and record a short video showing the item from all sides. We build a synthetic dataset and train automatically so the SKU is ready for sale the next day. No labelling marathons, no custom photo studios, no special 3D-scanners.
Designed for operators
Stock that sells: planograms, analytics, and product performance to tune your mix.
Real-time inventory: know what’s left on each shelf; get predictive restock alerts and assortment recommendations.
Remote control: door locks, temperature, power consumption, device settings, and diagnostics from the web dashboard.
Price updates at scale: update from the control panel; optional Electronic Shelf Labels keep displays in sync and allow for automated price updates
Food safety: temperature monitoring and logs, anti-fog airflow (for fridges), and alerts if anything is wrong.
AI Ambient Case For snacks, coffee beans, personal care, tech accessories, and other non-chilled items.
AI Fridge (AI Cooler) For ready meals, drinks, sandwiches, dairy, desserts
Both formats include:
Neural vision camera set (3x) with interior LEDs
Secure door lock
Industrial compute with on-device inference + cloud sync
Temperature and door sensors
Ethernet/Wi‑Fi/LTE connectivity options
Want scales or RFID for special cases? Neuroshop supports hybrid setups when your assortment demands it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between an AI micromarket and a classic vending machine?
Classic machines require each item to be dispensed individually. AI micromarkets are open‑shelf: customers simply take products, and vending AI identifies what left the shelf.
How fast can I add a new product?
Usually overnight. Record a quick video of the item; the system creates a synthetic dataset and trains automatically.
Does it work without a mobile app?
Yes. You can run POS‑only, APP-only or combine POS and app. Both support Apple Pay/Google Pay.
Do you sell AI vending machines?
Yes, our AI micromarkets are available for sale in fridge and ambient formats. Get a quote for your location and assortment.
Is this an “intelligent vending machine,” an “automated vending kiosk,” or a “smart cooler”?
All of the above describe what we do. We focus on neural vision accuracy, fast onboarding, and hands‑off operations.
How accurate is recognition?
Accuracy depends on packaging distinctiveness and lighting; we’ll validate your assortment and share best practices before launch. Usually about 95% cases are accurately determined by the device. When the neural network has a low degree of confidence, it additionally sends a video to be reviewed by a human.
How long does a transaction take?
Usually the transactions are instantaneous. In specific cases when the machine cannot determine a customer's purchase, it may take additional time to be processed by a human, but the next customer can begin their transaction without any delay.
Can I integrate it with my systems?
Yes. We provide a RESTful API for inventory, orders, prices, loyalty, and reporting.
Where do you ship?
EU, UK, and UAE by default. Other regions on request. Documentation and certifications are available for compliance and customs.
