The Innovation Design For Vending Machine Based On Extenics

The rising of house and commodity price makes low profit convenience store disappear from the city center gradually. Take the commercial center of Zhujiang New Town for example, traditional convenience stores cannot survive in this area. Vending machines as a substitute come up at the historic moment. It has the advantage of covering a small area, low operation cost and convenient management, which makes them can substitute for the function of traditional convenience stores to some degree. However, the selling system of vending machines is under the development in China and the application technology and operation are also in the process of continuous improvement. There is no doubt that vending machines will gradually replace traditional convenience store in some places, for its advantage of low cost. At the same time we should admit the fact that the day when vending machine completely replace the convenience store hasn’t come yet unless the first product diversity is improved, which is aim to meet the diversity of consumer choice; Second, there must be more convenient operation as well as simpler process; Finally, increasing the machine interaction with people and indicating human kindness are the two sides of a coin.The vending machine in this paper focuses on solving the existing defects, such as the product of a single payment, cumbersome, inconvenient operation and the lack of humanization design and so on. This article will use the latest innovation theory-extenics theory to guide the innovative design of the vending machine. Firstly, establishing a matter-element model of vending machines’ function innovation based on matter-element theory. innovative solutions is obtained by model calculation; Secondly, in combination with humanized design, innovation was applied into the new vending machine when designing; Finally, using the PLC technology to establish a set of simple operation procedures, that is, putting digital multimedia technology into the practice of design of vending machines operating process so as to make it come true that when you touch screen of the vending machine whose products are rich in sorts, simple operating and human caring, it works automatically.The vending machines referred to is particular to Zhujiang New Town. Its turning up will reduce the pressure of over-high rent that makes the traditional convenient store find it difficult to survive, which leads an inconvenient life to people. The new vending machine can be made a lot in one time and be spread into other areas and countries quickly, while making brand development route adapt to market development needs, which can bring the area and consumer not only cheap retail goods, but also can satisfy the consumers’ brand appeal. In a follow-up study, this paper will consider how the vending machine can completely replace the traditional convenience store and its advantage, which the vending machines can be promoted in different regions as a consequence of greatly promoting the development of China’s retail industry.
