| APEX's original series integrate a wide range of technology and imagination. Now assumed to be standard, APEX's vending machines were the first to have both hot and cold beverages in one-cup vending machines. When the 1980s began, this was a landmark event. Especially in cup vending machines, technology seen as today's industry standard was born from the trials and errors of APEX and our partners. This became the crystallization of innovation. |

Bringing out the flavor of ingredients with "CMS-Cup Mixing System"
By mixing ingredients for each drink cup-by-cup, our CMS maintains fresh taste and flavor and enables us to deliver superior safety and purity. |
| Energy-saving presence sensor |
|
 |
The presence sensor detects customers and switches the machine to order waiting mode.
Once a customer leaves the area, the machine switches back to energy-saving mode.
Energy is also saved by using inverters.
|
| Smart electricity through peak shifts and peak cuts |
|
 |
Machines avoid peak energy use by stocking ice and hot water at peak shifts and controlling electricity use during peak hours -- peak cuts.
|
| Environmentally friendly move to lighter weight. |
|
 |
Comprehensive streamlining has enabled us to reduce the number of machine parts, use lighter-weight materials, and slim down materials. This saves both materials and transport, helping to conserve the environment.

(*1) An in-house environmental conservation department was set up in 1996.
