And Software To Philadelphia Vending Vocational
School
Students at Edison/Fareira High School Vending Repair Class in Philadelphia, Pa., one of the only dedicated vending technical technician training programs in the country, are now receiving DEX training as part of their regular instruction, thanks to support from InOne Technology.
As DEX data retrieval and reporting have become more commonplace in the industry, the class instructor, James Clark, recognized the need to include DEX training in the curriculum. InOne Technology, a vending software system provider, answered that need with both hardware and software, providing students the opportunity to learn about DEX with the latest tools of the trade.
Students operate and maintain three soda machines in the faculty rooms of the school as part of their training. Earlier this year, those machines were upgraded by manufacturer's donations and now with the help of InOne Technology. Students service, collect, and DEX each machine. They then download the data into the shop computer, do cash reconciliation and make data entries. They complete this task by printing and interpreting the reports.
