The EVA DTS 6.1.2 is a comprehensive technical standard developed by the European Vending Association (EVA), in cooperation with the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA). This document defines a standardized format for data transfer, crucial for the vending industry.
The standard specifies the structure of common data elements and the protocols required for transferring data between vending machines and business systems. Its primary objective is to ensure compatibility and facilitate efficient data exchange, supporting operational management, sales tracking, and technical control of vending operations.
Key aspects covered include:
- Data formats and elements
- Communication protocols such as DDCMP and DEX/UCS
- Application notes to assist with implementation
- Evolution of data transfer standards in the vending sector
This standard serves as a vital guide for manufacturers, operators, and developers working with vending machine data systems.
