Alkaline Water vendor joins AVTC in the area of on site automated retailing food and drink preparation AVTC, for example, supplies fully automated popcorn machines to Pop N Go. The machines are capable of delivering single servings of fresh hot popcorn, to meet the demands of today's market. AVTC’s solution includes self-contained equipment produces fresh popcorn for each customer while allowing the customer to watch the entire popping process.
Regarding Alkaline Water, Japan has recognized the benefits of drinking alkaline water since the 1960’s, when Japanese research revealed that it was an effective medical treatment for a wide range of ailments. Since that time, alkaline water use has become widespread in Japan.
Health conscious consumers in the US are just now waking up to the benefits of drinking alkaline water. Demand for alkaline water is increasing; consumers have shown a willingness to pay between $3 and $5 a bottle! Others, who seek an alternative to bottled water, have purchased home water ionizer systems and make alkaline water themselves.
Alkaline water is not a chemical, nor does it have any added to it. Alkaline water is simply water with a higher pH value. When water is ionized, it gains a negative charge which makes it a natural antioxidant.
Water produced by the new automated solution LV-1000 has a pH range of up to 10.5, and can be adjusted to the generally recommended 9.0 level. The system reportedly breaks water molecule clusters down into smaller groupings -- a process known as microclustering -- which is said to make water easier for the body to absorb. Another benefit, according to EarthTrade officials, is that the water's strong negative "oxygen reduction potential" makes it a powerful antioxidant.

United States Post Office opens 24/7 Automated Postal Center
Demonstrating that automated retail leader AVT is in the right place at the right time, the US Postal Service is now offering a 24 hour Automated Postal Center (APC) at the Casper, Wyoming's main Post Office, located at 411 N. Forest Drive.
The self-service retail machine is the postal equivalent of an ATM machine. The Automated Postal Center (APC) provides a variety of postal self-service, from buying stamps to mailing by certified mail, Express mail, purchasing insurance and mailing from small packages up to 70 pounds. The machine accepts credit or debit cards and is English and Spanish capable. The Casper Post Office will be promoting the new APC with an open house from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday., March 31st.
At the same time, the USPS plans to shut down the Carol Stream, Illinois Office and cut 7,500 Jobs.
Regarding the district office closings, an article from Chicago Breaking Business reports that the USPS chose to focus on shutting down offices that are either in rural locations or offices that are not entirely necessary. Even if these locations close, it is argued that residents in each of the respective regions are able to access other offices nearby, which eases the blow a little bit. Furthermore, the same article highlights that cutting 7,500 employees will save the USPS a lot of money, even if it sounds incredibly drastic.

'Game-Changing' Technology Allows Consumers to Download Movies to a Portable USB Flash Drive
CORONA, Calif., March 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Flix on Stix (flixonstix.com) displayed their new kiosk that downloads movies to a portable flash drive at the recent Airport Revenue News Conference, titled "Game Changers," which featured products that represent the future of airport retailing.

AVT, Inc.

AVT founder, Shannon Illingworth, commented on the growth potential of this industry. "We have received tremendous interest in our new Airport Automated Retailing Systems. It's the smart solution for the owner, the retailer, the airport and the customer."
Robert Bienias, Managing Partner of Flix on Stix agrees. "This is a new era in media distribution and retailing, as consumers can now have convenience, choices, and content."

Self service profitability helped by technology based reports
Self service profitability helped by technology based reports Interactive online reports preferred over paper.
AVT has revolutionized the way the vending operator can do business. AVT reports capture lots of data from the vending machine, automatically. Then AVT’s vending management systems can download the data and sift through it, presenting it in ways vending operators can readily understand and use to increase profitability.
An individual operator's level of technology and operational focus greatly determine which type of report from the vending management system is most advantageous. However, the reports mentioned most often focus on three topics: cash reconciliation, product merchandising and route efficiency.
"There are different levels of evolution," said John Davies, owner of Vendsys and Synectic Software Solutions. In his experience, operators using less sophisticated systems, such as reading cash meters manually and using spreadsheets, want to formalize their cash accountability and better manage product per machine with plan o grams and prekitting. "There's a lot of interest in prekitting," said Davies. "It ensures more efficient route operations and greater control over route operations."
Cash accountability can include the cash variance report, which shows what the operator collected against what the system reports was sold. "The report shows the vending cash meter, but also assures the product is going through the machine, so it's also an inventory report," said Davies. Other critical reports are inventory reconciliation (how products travel from the warehouse thru to the machine) and a waste report, which includes rates of product spoilage and if the product is making it back to the warehouse for disposal. "There needs to be cash accountability, but also an accountability as far as products," he added.
One key report AVT customers rely on is the location profitability report. It tallies the sales value of the location with the recorded waste, commission and visitation cost (which includes the labor component of servicing that location). The report supplies an overall profitability or contribution number. "It's a drill down format report," said Davies. "The operator can look at the individual route and see its contribution, then drill down to the account level, then down to the machine level and then down to each individual product."
