What is a frozen vending machine?
A frozen vending machine (also known as a smart freezer vending machine or AI vending freezer) is a compact micromarket for frozen foods. Customers unlock the door with a card or app, pick their items, and the freezer’s precision scales, combined with AI vending freezer technology, work out exactly what left the shelf. Payment is automatic, no scanning, no waiting.
Why Neuroshop freezers?

How it works
- Unlock: Tap a card/phone on the terminal or scan the QR in the app.
- Take:Pick your frozen items from clearly separated sections.
- Detect & charge: High-precision scales track weight changes per section. Our AI vending freezer model reconciles those signals with your planogram and historical buying patterns to identify the exact SKUs. You close the door, we finalize the basket, and payment is automatic.
Detection you can trust
Traditional weight-only systems struggle when the same SKU doesn’t weigh exactly the same every time. Neuroshop’s frozen vending machine AI blends:
- Per-section precision scales
- SKU-level weight ranges (tolerating ±30% variance)
- Session context (what moved, in what order, what has been placed elsewhere)
- Purchase history (what customers usually buy together)
- Track customer actions (if an item is placed back in an incorrect section, the customer gets notified immediately)
The result: reliable recognition for frozen food vending machines where tubs, bags, and meal trays can vary a lot.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between this and a traditional frozen vending machine?
Traditional frozen vending machines dispense one item at a time, limiting customer choice. In contrast, Neuroshop’s smart freezer vending machine offers an open-door, browse-and-pick experience. The integrated AI vending freezer and precision scales automatically detect items taken, ensuring fast, accurate checkout with no need for scanning.
How many SKUs can I have?
Each frozen vending machine supports 5 to 15 sections, ideal for a variety of frozen products. You can place several SKUs in one section if they share similar weights and prices. We help design a custom planogram to organize items efficiently and make them easy for customers to find.
Can it handle variable weights?
Yes! Our AI vending freezer is designed for frozen food vending machines and can handle weight variations of up to ±30%. This ensures accurate item identification, even when frozen products like tubs or meals have slight weight differences due to packaging or ice formation, ensuring precise purchase detection.
Does it require a mobile app?
No, you can run the frozen vending machine using a POS terminal only or integrate it with a mobile app. Payment options include Apple Pay, Google Pay, and loyalty integrations. Choose the setup that best suits your business, ensuring a flexible and seamless customer experience.
Do you offer these freezers for sale?
Yes, we offer frozen vending machines for sale with complete software, installation, and ongoing support. Whether you need a smart freezer vending machine for office spaces, airports, or other locations, we’ll guide you in choosing the best configuration based on your location, assortment, and operational needs.
What about temperature logs and food safety?
Our frozen vending freezers come with continuous temperature monitoring and automatic alerts if the temperature deviates from the set range. This ensures food safety compliance. Real-time temperature logs are accessible remotely, so operators can adjust conditions or receive warnings in case of malfunctions or unsafe fluctuations.
