• In 2002, Duke Vending worked with Justin Segall, Founder and Co President of the Duke University Greening Initiative to install and test Vending Misers from Bayview on vending machines that did not have the DukeCard: http://www.usatech.com/energy_management/energy_vm.php

• We were unable to install the Vending Misers on vending machines that had a DukeCard reader because in order to bring the vending machines back on line with the DukeCard system took approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds, and it gave the DukeCard office incorrect readings that indicated the vending machines were not working.

• We did install 10 Vending Misers on machines without DukeCard readers for approximately 6 months. Sales plummeted due to the fact that customers thought the machines were out-of-order because the lights in the machines were not lit. After the test, we returned all the Vending Misers to Bayview.
