SevenCloud Technology will present five self-service vending machines at the 2025 Guangzhou GTI Expo

SevenCloud Technology, a manufacturer of self-service vending machines, will showcase five innovative product lines at the GTI Guangzhou International Amusement Equipment Industry Expo (GTI Guangzhou), held at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou from September 10-12, 2025 (Booth No.: Hall 2.1, 2T31B). As Asia's most influential amusement equipment trade show, this year's GTI attracted over 500 companies from over 30 countries and regions. SevenCloud Technology will showcase its star products, including fully automatic popcorn machines and self-service ice cream dispensers, through an immersive booth design, showcasing the innovative application of unmanned retail technology in the cultural, tourism, and entertainment sectors.

'The cultural tourism industry is undergoing a transformation from 'asset-heavy operations' to 'asset-light services.' Unmanned retail devices, as a key entry point for scenario-based consumption, are becoming a key tool for improving efficiency per square meter,' said a sales manager at SevenCloud Technology. The purpose of participating in the GTI Expo is to, through on-site demonstrations and interactive experiences, help more amusement park operators understand how self-service vending machines can address the three major pain points of high labor costs, limited consumption scenarios, and low operational efficiency. According to data from the China Amusement Machine and Amusement Park Association, the penetration rate of unmanned retail devices in domestic amusement parks was only 18% in 2024. This proportion is expected to increase to 45% by 2026, with a market size exceeding 12 billion yuan.

The five product series exhibited by SevenCloud Technology provide precise solutions for the diverse needs of amusement parks:

1. Self-service ice cream machine: a 'traffic harvester' that produces cups in 30 seconds

As SevenCloud Technology's flagship product, this machine, equipped with a small robot, enables unmanned operation throughout the entire process, from cup removal and mixing to serving. The machine supports 32 flavor customizations and features a 21.5-inch HD touchscreen and voice interaction, compatible with global languages. Test data at Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park shows that this machine generates average monthly sales of 23,000 yuan during the summer, with a per-cup cost under 2 yuan and a payback period of just four months. A 'Robot Ice Cream DIY Experience Zone' will be available at the exhibition, allowing visitors to personally customize their own flavors.

2. Fully automatic popcorn machine: a revenue accelerator for IP collaborations

To meet the needs of theme park IP operations, this machine features a removable decorative panel and customized packaging system, allowing the theme park's IP image to be integrated into the machine design and popcorn bucket. The machine utilizes hot air circulation baking technology to prepare popcorn in 160 seconds, offering six classic flavors including caramel, cheese, and seaweed. A Beijing theme park demonstrated that popcorn machines featuring IP elements saw a 62% increase in sales compared to standard models, with a 28% repurchase rate.

3. Large cotton candy machine: a 'parent-child interactive artifact' with 64 different patterns

This device uses dynamic sugar thread control technology to create 64 3D flower shapes, including flowers, hearts, and butterflies. Combined with LED ambient lighting and a transparent window, it creates an immersive crafting experience. Parents can participate in DIY customization by scanning a QR code, and 75% of parents share photos of the crafting process, generating secondary virality. Data from a Hangzhou parent-child park shows that cotton candy machines equipped with interactive scenes have an average daily sales volume 2.1 times that of regular locations, driving an 18% increase in sales of peripheral products.

4. Freshly ground coffee machine: The 'master of floor efficiency optimization' for precise time-of-day operations

Targeting the time-sensitive visitor flow of amusement parks, the machine can produce 16 different beverages. A Shenzhen theme park demonstrated that through time-sensitive operations, the average customer spending per coffee machine increased from 18 yuan to 35 yuan, achieving a sales per square meter efficiency three times that of traditional beverage machines. The exhibition will demonstrate the machine's integration with Qiyun Technology's IoT platform, showcasing its real-time remote management and data analysis capabilities.

5. Mini Cotton Candy Machine: A 0.3㎡ 'Childhood Corner'

Designed for small amusement parks and commercial spaces, this machine occupies only 0.3 square meters and can be placed in limited spaces such as tabletops or corners. It supports five basic patterns and four flavors, and its simple operation makes it suitable for non-professional operators. A Japanese automaker demonstrated that adding a mini marshmallow machine to its experience area increased average customer spending by 15% and extended stays by 8 minutes. Priced at only one-third the price of larger machines, this machine is particularly suitable for small operators and entrepreneurs.

'We not only provide equipment, but also output a complete set of scenario-based operation plans.' Zhang Siqi, marketing director of SevenCloud Technology, said that the company has formed a full industry chain service capability covering 'site selection-equipment-operation-after-sales', and can provide customized solutions for amusement venues of different sizes.

SevenCloud Technology sincerely invites global amusement park operators, cultural tourism project investors, and equipment distributors to visit booth 2T31B in Hall 2.1 to experience the innovative charm of smart amusement equipment and discuss the application prospects of unmanned retail in the cultural tourism industry. See you there!
