Vending machine companies struggle to provide their consumers with quality products, but also pay attention to safety measures that are meant to protect both the consumer and the machine. As a result, their machines are similar to safes in terms of strength, and therefore very heavy. New York vending machines have several times been subject to steal attempts or aggression from people frustrated over certain malfunctions causing failure to dispense products or the correct change. During the long history of vending automata, there were cases when accidentally falling machines caused death or serious injuries to people who were trying to shake them in order to get some soft drink not released by the automaton, or were just passing by.

Such accidents are reported to have really crushed people; some of them were dead, while others required hospitalization for various injuries, such as skull, pelvis, femur, tibia, or ankle fractures, punctured bladder, or intra-cerebral haemorrhage. The possible cause of such accidents could have been the soft drinks stored in the upper half of the machine, which caused a centre of gravity placed too high. There was a reason to place them there, namely that they could slip into the dispensing slot. However, this high gravity centre makes the machine fall over when it is tipped as much as 20 degrees, which is a surprisingly small angle. Since a fully loaded machine weighs about 400 kg, it is easy to imagine what devastating effect it could produce over a human being.

Vending machine companies have imagined ways to prevent such dangerous events. New York vending machines, like any other similar equipment, are provided with modern solutions that try to avoid death or injuries provoked by tipping or striking of the automata. For instance, machines equipped with spirals that hold products also have lasers placed near the bottom access door. If the item does not obturate the laser beam when it falls, then the spirals will turn again, generally three times, to ensure that the item really falls. In case the product still does not fall, the customer will be invited to select another product or may have the money refunded.

Continuous progress and innovation have brought integration of recent technology in vending machines. Latest innovations like interactive touch displays and digital signage, or video analytics that may recognize both the age group and the gender of the customer are already present in many New York vending automata. Other features like remote content management and cloud monitoring and manageability of sales, inventory and refill make contemporary vending machines smart automata. Smart vending software is designed to leverage on smart vending capabilities and technology.
