Case Study: Gulf Coast Canteen achieves 48% fewer service calls and 77% fewer electrical/jam repairs with Innovolt

Innovolt Increases Uptime and Availability of Vending Machines

A national vending operator with both corporate and franchise locations sought to increase uptime and availability of revenue-generating machines and reduce spoilage from malfunctions. The company faced inconsistent power distribution across pod locations and suspected pervasive Electrical Over Stress (EOS) issues but had no way to verify their cause of increased service costs and downtime.

They trialed Innovolt’s power protection across refrigerated beverage, snack and frozen dessert machines from eight equipment vendors; collected power-environment data confirmed EOS disturbances across the fleet. Over a six-week trial versus a control group, Innovolt delivered a 48% relative reduction in all service calls and a 77% reduction in electrical/jam-related calls, materially lowering service costs and improving machine availability.
