Abstract
El presente trabajo de título tiene como objetivo evaluar la viabilidad de implementar máquinas expendedoras inteligentes en universidades chilenas, considerando su potencial para modernizar los servicios de consumo rápido dentro de los campus. La investigación surge a partir de la necesidad de adaptar las máquinas expendedoras tradicionales a las nuevas preferencias de los usuarios universitarios, quienes demandan rapidez, disponibilidad, variedad de productos y medios de pago digitales. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque exploratorio y descriptivo, utilizando revisión de antecedentes, fuentes secundarias y entrevistas semiestructuradas a usuarios potenciales. Además, se aplicaron herramientas de análisis estratégico como PESTEL, las cinco fuerzas de Porter, FODA y modelo Canvas, junto con una evaluación de viabilidad técnica, operativa, económica y de aceptación. Los resultados muestran que el proyecto es técnicamente factible, ya que la tecnología necesaria se encuentra disponible en el mercado nacional. La máquina considerada, modelo Idea 9L de Magex Chile, incorpora pagos digitales, pantalla interactiva, conectividad, telemetría y sistema VMS, lo que permite monitorear ventas, inventario y funcionamiento de manera remota. Operativamente, el modelo puede gestionarse mediante reposición periódica, mantenimiento preventivo y administración externalizada. En términos económicos, se estimó una inversión inicial de $8.150.000. Bajo el escenario probable, con una venta estimada de (...).

The research arises from the need to adapt traditional vending machines to the new preferences of university users, who demand speed, availability, product variety, and digital payment methods. The research was developed under an exploratory and descriptive approach, using a review of background information, secondary sources, and semi-structured interviews with potential users.

The results show that the project is technically feasible, since the necessary technology is available in the national market. The machine considered, Magex Chile’s Idea 9L model, incorporates digital payments, an interactive screen, connectivity, telemetry, and a VMS system, which allows sales, inventory, and operation to be monitored remotely. Operationally, the model can be managed through periodic replenishment, preventive maintenance, and outsourced administration. In economic terms, an initial investment of $8,150,000 was estimated.
