Core-1 by Vendors Center

Technical specifications for operators.

The Core-1 reference below covers the current capacity baseline and planned 64-slot maximum configuration for operators evaluating floor space, electrical requirements, payments, and connectivity before a machine enters a route. Core-1 is pre-launch; these values reflect the active locked specification and stated planning targets.

Planned off-grid & hybrid-power deployments

Core-1 is being planned for unmetered and remote locations where off-grid or hybrid power may be relevant. Site power availability, AC and inverter compatibility, peak and continuous demand, storage and autonomy, and installation and service access remain design considerations. Core-1 is pre-prototype; compatibility and system sizing have not been validated or finalized.
