Receiving status notifications via SMS: Vending machines in remote locations often do not have mobile internet. An operator therefore allows his devices to send status notifications…
The operator has vending machines in many remote locations, such as parking lots and industrial areas. The machines have no mobile internet, and reception is often too weak for it anyway. Empty slots and faults were only noticed on the next service round, sometimes days later.
Each machine has a simple SIM card and sends its stock level, faults, and temperature as a short SMS to a dedicated inbound number. LOX24 forwards every message directly to the backend via HTTP request. There, the status appears immediately in the dispatch overview.
