ABOUT ACE
ACE, or Automated Cannabis Experience, is the only completely automated digital cannabis vending kiosk on the market. Developed in partnership with BMC Universal Technologies, the cannabis retail solution is the first fully automated cannabis vending kiosk to fully package, live label and dispense cannabis products while meeting or exceeding compliance requirements. Consumers check-in at the dispensary, scan and verify their identification card at the kiosk, follow the instructions on the digital screen and pay to complete their purchase. It takes about 50 seconds to distribute a fully compliant product once shoppers input their selection. For faster use, consumers can pre-order and scan a QR code at the kiosk to quickly verify their age and purchase products. Digital pay options are also available.
ACE holds up to 1,152 products, depending on the size of product packaging. Its 38-by-30-inch observation window allows shoppers to watch the bagging process as the product is placed in a compliant, sealed and labeled exit bag before dispensing. The unattended solution requires no human interaction, with ID-verification technology confirming that only shoppers of legal age are able to purchase cannabis using the kiosk. ACE is able to plug into state seed-to-sale tracking systems so all purchases are tracked and manifested according to state and local regulations.
Marketed and distributed by Terrapin — a consumer-focused, Colorado-based cultivator, processor and provider of high-quality medical and recreational cannabis products — ACE can contain cannabis products from Terrapin or be branded with another dispensary.
