SMART VENDING
de Jong DUKE showcases smart, sustainable coffee innovations C
offee machine manufacturer de Jong DUKE is redefining the modern coffee experience with a blend of craftsmanship, technology, and sustainability — aiming to make great coffee
easy wherever people work or meet by blending reliability with smart connectivity and sustainable solutions. Known for high-quality models such as the Avy, Lua, Rosa, Blu,
Zia, and Nio, the company continues to focus on reliability, intuitive design, and a premium user experience. Building on this legacy, de Jong DUKE unveiled three major innovations during an exclusive preview event in Milan alongside HOST: the Lina, Nio Next, and a new Fresh Milk Solution designed to deliver barista-style quality in workplaces. All three will be available to order from March 31, 2026. Central to de Jong DUKE’s innovation is ConnectMe, an advanced connectivity platform that allows operators to remotely monitor
and manage their machines. The tool offers real-time data insights, remote servicing, and adaptive energy-saving features — helping to reduce downtime and operational costs while maintaining consistent coffee quality. Sustainability remains a core priority for de Jong DUKE. The company’s machines are built for durability, energy efficiency, and modularity, with recyclable materials and smart energy modes that lower consumption. By enabling remote service through ConnectMe, unnecessary travel is reduced — further supporting operators in cutting their carbon footprint. Through these innovations, de Jong DUKE aims to push the boundaries of convenience, connectivity, and environmental responsibility — shaping a smarter, greener future for the vending and OCS industry.
Seco launches Clea Vend telemetry platform
SECO has introduced its Clea Vend telemetry platform, featuring a comprehensive range of connectivity options that will enable a broad spectrum of vending operators to reduce costs and increase revenues. Clea Vend offers a cloud-first platform designed for vending machine refilling and management. It provides real- time monitoring, sales analysis, error management, and operational efficiency for vending machines. The new telemetry solution comes with multiple connectivity options. It can
be enabled through direct integration with SECO’s KarL4 contactless payment terminals, already rolled out on over 150,000 devices, which act as an interface for data collection. This information can be transformed into actionable insights, including automatic alerts for machine failures, sales and transaction analytics, and smarter proposals for inventory and replenishment, thereby preventing revenue losses and reducing costs. Vending machine operators can also access Clea Vend telemetry services independently of SECO’s payment solutions.
Connectivity is also available through the SECO Datalogger, which can be retrofitted to any machine deployed in the field, or through a standardised API, either cloud- to-cloud or directly from the machine if integration is enabled. These new options enable a broader range of vending machine operators to benefit from real-time data insights, helping them streamline refilling operations to reduce logistical overheads and enhance revenues. “Clea Vend telemetry services can work equally effectively with or without contactless payment terminals,” says Martin Duemling, senior product manager payment at SECO. “The easily integrated datalogger and API connectivity options make our telemetry solutions genuinely accessible, meaning a greater number of vending operators can benefit from having real-time operational data at their fingertips.” Martin adds: “SECO is committed to providing modern and accessible approaches to connectivity, analytics and payment in vending, using cloud-first platforms with data security and compliance built in.” The solution will initially be available in Europe before being extended worldwide.
