On March 16, the "Intelligent New 'Explosion' Game - Geely Mars Vending Machine Global Debut and Future Life Trend Summit" was held in Wuhan. Gao Huoxing, general manager of Hubei Geely Food Co., Ltd., a leading company in the popcorn industry, announced: Geely Mars Popcorn Vending Machine was launched globally in Wuhan.

      Gao Fu, vice president of the China National Trade Promotion Association, believes that the launch of Geely Mars popcorn vending machines is a successful example of supply-side reform in the popcorn industry. He encourages partners from all walks of life to cooperate with Geely Mars and grow together, and hopes that the company will pay attention to vulnerable groups and actively carry out public welfare and charity. He hopes that Geely Mars will build a Chinese popcorn national brand and become a leader in the world popcorn industry.

      Peng Bin, deputy director of the Hubei Federation of Industry and Commerce, congratulated Geely Mars and affirmed the company's adherence to the concept of innovation-driven and quality development. He believed that the development of vending machines demonstrated the outstanding innovation strength and keen market insight of Hubei private enterprises, and praised the company as a model of technological innovation of Hubei private enterprises.

      Technology empowers life, and innovation leads the future. In his speech, Hao Yuhong, Chairman of Hubei Geely Food Co., Ltd., said that Geely Mars has been constantly breaking boundaries and exploring the unknown. After five years of hard work, it has successfully designed and produced a vending machine with completely independent intellectual property rights. The device uses space inspiration as the design language, integrates AI intelligent recognition system and Internet of Things technology, and upgrades the traditional popcorn, a snack that carries joy, into a futuristic consumer experience, helping the Geely brand take off in the new field of smart life.

      Gao Huoxing introduced in detail the original intention of the development of the intelligent popcorn vending machine, the advantages of the equipment, the optimization of details, the market situation and the cooperation model. He said that the equipment has seven major features: "independent research and development, world's first, constant temperature system, intelligent and convenient, affordable price, public welfare service, and guaranteed income".

      As an entrepreneur who was born in the military, Gao Huoxing has been focusing on popcorn production and research for 27 years. He said that Geely Mars started with traditional popcorn production and gradually expanded the market through continuous innovation. After years of accumulation, the company successfully developed the Geely Mars popcorn smart vending machine, opening a new era of smart popcorn.

      Technological innovation, AI empowerment. Through real-time monitoring of SKU sales rate through IoT data, AI algorithms automatically optimize product combinations, automatically detect inventory and replenish in time. Vending machines monitor and optimize in real time, accurately match supply and demand, and promote the survival of the fittest to improve product sales efficiency. In terms of intelligent operation and maintenance, through remote monitoring of temperature, inventory, fault warning and response, automatic generation of replenishment lists, support for third-party instant delivery access, and operation and maintenance response efficiency are improved by 200%. The intelligent operation and maintenance of self-service vending machines not only reduces operation and maintenance costs and management difficulties, but also improves the ability to replicate on a large scale, reducing expansion costs and market risks. Geely Food's supply chain intensive advantages ensure cost optimization and brand support.
