At SUNBEAM FORCE LIMITED, innovation is not just about technology—it’s about impact. One of our most meaningful initiatives to date has been the development and deployment of smart sanitary pad vending machines, designed to address a critical yet often overlooked need: accessible menstrual hygiene.
The Problem We’re Solving
Across educational institutions, workplaces, transport terminals, and even healthcare facilities, the lack of access to sanitary products remains a barrier to dignity, attendance, and overall well-being for countless women. Too often, periods are met with panic, shame, or forced absenteeism—when all that’s needed is a simple, reliable solution.
The Solution We Built
Our vending machines are compact, affordable, and designed with user comfort in mind. Each unit dispenses sanitary pads through an easy, hygienic interface, powered by solar energy and integrated with digital payment options for convenience.
From the start, our design philosophy focused on three key pillars:
- Affordability: Low-cost units and products to ensure access for all.
- Accessibility: Deployment in high-traffic, underserved, or emergency-prone zones.
- Awareness: Supporting campaigns to destigmatize menstruation and promote hygiene education.
A Broader Commitment
This project is not just a business venture—it’s a statement of our commitment to gender equity. We’re partnering with schools, universities, municipalities, and private enterprises to co-deploy machines through CSR programs, ensuring that no woman has to compromise on her health due to lack of access.
Moreover, we’re working to build data-driven insights from usage patterns to help decision-makers better understand the needs of women in various settings—urban, rural, and institutional.
Looking Ahead
Our roadmap includes smart features such as automatic refills, multilingual instructions, and wellness tracking. We envision these vending machines evolving into full-fledged women’s health kiosks, offering a range of wellness products and awareness material.
Because for us, this is more than a product—it’s a commitment to empowerment, inclusion, and dignity.
