Custom Souvenir Cup Machine

Hersheypark needed to automate the sale of thousands of refillable souvenir cups through peak season - long lines, limited staff. We engineered a fully automated, cup-shaped machine with a giant display, barcode scanner and smart inventory tracking, now deployed across the park for a fast, fun, fully branded guest experience.

Frozen-Treat Vending Experience

Fruit Riot came to us with a bold idea: a self-service machine that dispenses their signature frozen product with flair. We designed a custom-shaped unit with a large digital display, unique branding and automated dispensing with real-time inventory - an eye-catching machine built to draw a crowd and deliver, fast.

Custom Vending FAQ

Can Sweet Robo build a custom vending machine for my brand?

Yes. Sweet Robo designs and engineers custom vending machines from scratch - your concept, our robotics, branding, and US-based support. Brands use custom machines to dispense a signature product or to wrap an existing machine in their own look, turning the machine itself into an interactive marketing piece that draws and entertains customers.

What can be customized on Custom Vending Machines by Sweet Robo?

On Custom Vending Machines by Sweet Robo, almost everything is customizable: the exterior branding and wrap, colors, logo and screen content, the product or flavors it makes, and in many cases the mechanism itself for a brand-new product. Sweet Robo builds the automatic solution end to end - from industrial design and robotics to the software and the on-screen customer experience.

How long does it take to build a custom vending machine?

Timelines depend on the complexity - a custom wrap and branding is fast, while engineering a machine around an entirely new product takes longer for design, prototyping, and testing. Sweet Robo scopes a timeline with you up front and keeps a US-based team on the project from concept through delivery and support. Contact the team for an estimate on your idea.

What products can a custom automated vending solution dispense?

A custom Sweet Robo solution can dispense far more than snacks - from frozen treats and fresh-made food to souvenirs, branded merchandise, and printed items like phone cases or chocolate. If a product can be stored and handled by a robotic system, Sweet Robo can usually engineer an automated machine to make or dispense it on demand.

Who handles support and maintenance for a custom machine?

Sweet Robo does. Every custom machine comes with onboarding, training, warranties, and a US-based support team reachable by video and chat - the same end-to-end support behind the standard lineup. That's the key difference from importing a one-off machine that arrives with no guidance: with Sweet Robo a custom build is supported for the long run.
