Community Micro Market: 24/7 Fresh Meat, Fruit & Seafood Station | Refrigerated Locker System
1. Product Overview
This system is designed to function as an autonomous “Downstairs Supermarket” for high-end residential communities. By combining a 48-door locker layout with a powerful refrigeration unit, it enables the unmanned sale of high-value fresh perishables.
Unlike traditional vending machines restricted to snacks and drinks, this Refrigerated Locker System maintains a precise temperature (2℃-35℃), ensuring that meat, seafood, and fresh produce stay fresh and safe for consumption around the clock.
