AAKL, (edited ) That was the first question that came to mind when I saw this post yesterday. The manufacturer is Invenda. apparently a Swiss maker of "intelligent vending solutions."
Their "solutions" are really creepy, offering "facial recognition, real-time inventory control, digital signage, remote pricing and telematics."
More importantly, the machine "communicates with an operator’s home office via a secure wireless cloud connection."
