Development of an Integrated System for Tracking and Managing Professional Machines

The project covers the development of a world-class product innovation through an effective partnership between a research organization and the candidate for the development and testing of a new knowledge - a remote management and reporting algorithm for professional coffee machines. The innovation falls within the thematic area “Mechatronics and Clean Technologies”, priority area “Smart Systems and Appliances”, “Smart Homes” - “Smart Cities”. The system will be developed to the TRL 7 level - System prototype demonstrated in operational environment for the management of coffee machines, but the research and the elaborated working algorithm can be used in other areas of the HoReCa sector. The system will be based on algorithm elaboration allowing the transmission of information about the beverages made by a machine via the Internet and will provide real-time remote monitoring of the information coming from the sensors of individual machines. Thus, the system will remotely manage machines by improving the quality of the beverages, by providing reports for the already produced ones in terms of quantity and quality, by providing information in the event of going out of the set operating parameters of a particular machine and by allowing an early detection of emerging technical problems and remote diagnosis of malfunctions in a given machine. Remote monitoring will allow the physical control to be carried out only on sites where such need has been identified and where the fault or the problem emerged cannot be resolved by the personnel on the site where the machine has been installed. The innovation will lead to a reduction in the repairing and technological service resources required for the machines as well as the associated costs and the carbon pollution consequences and will allow for different professional machines in terms of characteristics and year of production to be “recycled” and to deliver high quality end product by refining its production parameters.
