CORONA, Calif., Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in automated retailing systems and custom vending machines, announced today that they are starting production of the new Opticwash Pro Unit. This new, smaller sized unit is designed for placement inside optical shops and Eye Care Professional (ECP) practices. According to industry statistics, there are over 20,000 optical stores in America. 

Opticwash is the world's first automated kiosk dedicated to cleaning and sanitizing eyeglasses and jewelry. The company recently developed the smaller footprint "Pro" system, which will be built by AVT and leased to doctors nationwide.

The system provides comprehensive reports to the doctor/retailer, including sales figures, and information about who has used the system. The equipment is highly effective in bringing new customers and patients into practices. Gift cards for free cleanings can also be issued to further stimulate customer interest and foot-traffic.

The Opticwash system began development in 2009 and has had great success in all of the initial placements. A unit was recently deployed in the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to Bryan Myers, CEO of Opticwash, the company is set to revolutionize society.  "The fact is, that jewelry and eyeglasses carry around a lot of germs, bacteria and viruses, and the Opticwash system is the only safe and convenient way to remove pathogens while delivering a sparkling clean surface," he commented. "As our systems are installed throughout America, we believe that they will become a part of the 'new normal,' and will be as successfully integrated into societal use as bottled water."

Among the company's notable achievements is winning 3 gold medals at the INPEX Expo for Inventors. Opticwash won Best Design, Best Cleaning Product, and Best Entertainment categories. The company also won the Grand Prix Award for Best Overall Product, as well as "Best New Product" at the 2013 International IAAPA conference.

AVT, Inc is the manufacturing partner to Oticwash and recently started production on an order for 1,000 units, worth over $6 million
