Preparing collection points to operate within the deposit system increasingly requires practical discussions rather than purely theoretical assumptions. Direct meetings, live device presentations, and conversations about real operational challenges are becoming essential.
This was exactly the case during two meetings between 4VS and the Chorten Group, held in Katowice and at Azalia Hotel & Spa.
During both events, key topics related to the future of the deposit system, the operation of collection points, and the practical implementation of RVM machines in stores were discussed. The conversations covered both daily device operation and issues such as service, availability, and adapting machines to different retail formats.
Discussions Reflecting Real Needs of Collection Points
A key part of the meetings were presentations led by 4VS Product Manager Bartosz, who outlined crucial aspects of deposit system implementation from the perspective of retailers, operators, and the broader ecosystem.
After the presentation sessions, participants moved to hands-on experience – opening the machines, testing their functions, and seeing how RVM devices work “from the inside.”
Service and support were also major discussion points, along with the fact that 4VS develops its own technology and manufacturing processes. This allows for fast response times, real implementation support, and continuous product development based on market needs.
One of the most frequently discussed topics was the flexibility of the 4VS offering. The company provides five RVM models of varying sizes – from the compact RVM75 to the high-performance RVM120E with up to 95% compression capability.
This enables precise matching of the machine to the available space and operational intensity of each collection point.
RVM 4VS Functionality in Practice
Significant attention was also given to machine performance in demanding conditions commonly faced by collection points.
4VS machines are designed for reliable operation regardless of location or weather conditions.
Topics discussed included:
- resistance to heavy rain, strong sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and humidity
- robust frame construction for durability and vandal resistance
- touchscreens adapted for outdoor use
- optional voice communication and customizable on-screen content
- high-capacity receipt printer with a 200-meter paper roll (over 2,000 receipts)
- advanced packaging recognition systems (360°, barcode, shape, and weight)
- in the RVM120E model – high-efficiency compression functionality
4VS RVM machines are manufactured in Poland and require only standard 230V power, making installation easier across various locations.
The company’s offering is tailored to operator requirements and the specifics of each collection point – another key topic discussed during the meetings.
A Partnership Built on Practice
The meetings with the Chorten Group proved to be highly valuable and confirmed that successful RVM implementation requires a combination of technology, practical knowledge, and partnership-based cooperation.
We would like to thank the Chorten Group for the invitation, openness, and insightful discussions.
Further stages of collaboration and continued development of solutions tailored to real market needs lie ahead.
