WHAT’S NEW? NECTA INTRODUCES
OPERA TOUCH Necta, a brand of the Evoca Group, has announced the arrival of Opera Touch, a new, hot drinks vending machine that combines the best in electronic technology with an optimised mechanical layout - with the effect of simplifying both maintenance and usage.
Every facet of Opera Touch revolves around its extraordinary 13.3” screen that not only allows the drinks menu to be dramatically expanded, but also enables the consumer to access, for example, nutrition and allergen information. With enhanced search options and a high degree of drink customisation, Opera Touch offers consumers an improved purchase experience.
Opera Touch is designed to be easily managed by operators. Thanks to its proven electronics, it’s quick and easy to programme operations and personalise the functions of the machine. Evoca’s standardised programming software results in familiarity across the entire range, as well as a reduction in operating costs thanks to speedy machine set up, easy fault diagnosis and simple maintenance.

Opera Touch offers the option of a new model which was specifically designed to offer fresh-brew tea, alongside instant coffee and soup. Opera Touch’s drinks menu is ideally suited to UK tastes and will be a natural fit in locations such as offices, factories and warehouses.
