We used them at our manufacturing plants for PPE. They dispense items as small as earplugs and as large as hard hats. I don’t recall the company but the actual machines are just leased and we stock them. Several companies offer the machines for lease. I think they were Diebold but leased by a third party

We used Modern Leasing of Iowa for our IT vending machine. End users loved that they could use their building access badge to get equipment, and the reporting was okay for the IT and finance team. The company was good to work with - they allowed us a break in payments when our offices closed due to covid.

We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
