Cervoz 2.5-Inches Industrial SATA SSD Supports On-Train Food Vending With Advanced Storage Modules

Cervoz Technology Co., Ltd. has been innovating alongside the public transportation industry to provide the storage solutions needed for smart vending machines on trains.

Countries such as India and France have seen their long-distance trains feature smart vending machines in recent years. While a vending machine with snacks is a common sight in most public transportation systems, these smart vending machines are located inside train compartments and can host a wider variety of foods. The complexity of these machines demands greater performance and reliability from the storage solutions they use.

The company offers the T385 and T376 families of SATA SSD for these machines. With TLC technology, these disks can process information promptly and reliably so that no one is waiting long for their food or getting the wrong order. The T385 comes with a DRAM buffer which prolongs the life span and overall performance of the SSD, while the T376 is equipped with the company’s Powerguard, a power loss protection. The PLP ensures that in the event of a power outage an extra bit of power is provided to save any data being processed in the moment.

Depending on the route travelled, different trains may require different types of additional support for their vending machines. The company has DDR4 DRAM products for additional storage, and both flash and DRAM products can be lined internally with an anti-vibration fill, which is an acrylic resin fill to secure PCB and main chips in their place and prevent solder joints from coming loose.

More broadly, like any technology ecosystem, a stable network connection is fundamental for data transmission. Anticipating this problem, the firm has designed a number of expansion card solutions, namely the Mini PCIe Ethernet card and the M.2 WiFi card.

The company‘s products are tested to perform normally in different environments and when exposed to different environmental factors.
