Frekuent at Aneda ExpoCongress 2025: innovation, AI, networking, and a look into the future of vending

From November 12 to 14, the Palacio de Congresos de Toledo hosted Aneda ExpoCongress 2025, one of the most important events of the year for the world of vending, automatic retail, payment systems, and technology applied to vending machines. It was a key meeting point for operators, manufacturers, and solution providers—an ideal setting for Frekuent to showcase new developments, strengthen partnerships, and share a clear vision of the sector’s future.

A must-attend event for the vending industry

Over the course of three days, Aneda ExpoCongress brought together industry professionals to explore the latest trends in vending machines, automation, digitalization, contactless payments, and operational efficiency. As in every edition, the event combined exhibitions, networking opportunities, and conferences with valuable insights into the present and future of automatic retail.

For Frekuent, it was an exceptional opportunity to reconnect with clients, build new synergies, and identify real market needs. The fair once again demonstrated that the vending industry is moving toward more connected, intelligent, and user-centric solutions.

Presenting our new range of payment systems

This year, we arrived in Toledo with a major milestone: the official presentation of our new Frekuent Spots, designed to integrate advanced payment systems across a wide variety of environments and points of sale.

• Frekuent Pro: A robust device built for high-traffic environments, ideal for operators seeking top-level performance from their payment systems.
• Frekuent Compact: Versatility and efficiency for different types of points of sale. A more compact version that still delivers powerful results, offering the same functionalities as the Pro model in a reduced format.
• Frekuent Mini: Our lightest and most flexible solution—perfect for small spaces and alternative points of sale that require fast, secure, and user-friendly contactless payments. Mini in size, huge in impact.

Three different solutions with a single goal: simplifying daily operations for vending operators and delivering faster, more intuitive, and fully seamless payment experiences.

AI in Frekuent Spots: a preview of what’s coming next

One of the highlights of our time at the fair was offering a sneak peek of what’s ahead: the integration of artificial intelligence into Frekuent Spots. This preview showcased the tools we are developing to improve operators’ daily workflows and deliver more efficient support.

We presented a demo that attracted strong interest from operators and partners, focusing on how AI can reduce incident management, automate tasks, and improve the end-user experience.

Among its capabilities, we showcased a system designed to assist users requesting refunds when a product has not been dispensed—detecting the issue and resolving it quickly and efficiently. This technology paves the way for major advancements in customer support, proactive maintenance, and the operational management of vending machines.

Networking, conferences, and memorable experiences in Toledo

Beyond technology and business opportunities, Aneda ExpoCongress gave us the chance to enjoy Toledo—a unique city that always surprises. We took part in a guided tour, enjoyed informal conversations over wine, and attended a gala dinner that provided the perfect closing to the event.

These informal moments are essential for strengthening the vending community and fostering relationships that go far beyond strictly commercial interactions.
