Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2287814A1] The invention relates to an installation for the automatic dispensing and semiautomatic replacement of commercial products, of the type of products presented in parallelepiped boxes, such as certain pharmaceutical, electronic or food products; formed by at least one inclined shelf (8) on which the products (10) to be dispensed are located, which products are separated into lanes by adjustable guides (6) and supported one after the other as they slide over the shelf (8); at least one individual dispensing element for each lane; each dispensing element being provided with autonomous control electronics, a presence detection sensor (2), an electromagnetic actuator device (1), a front light indicator (4), a stop (11) for braking the products (10) on the inclined shelf (8) and connectors for the interconnection thereof with other dispensing elements; and at least one light indicator (13) for each lane, located at the rear part of the shelf (8), linked with a bar code reader for the bar code located on each product (10); all this such that the control electronics generates the activation of the electromagnetic actuator device (1), which raises the corresponding product (10) to be dispensed above the stop (11), causing its exit from the lane and the positioning, by gravity, of a new product on the actuator device (1); whereas the rear light indicator (13), according to the information provided by the bar code reader (26), optically notifies the lack of products in a lane, the replacement thereof and/or breakdowns.
