Condition Monitoring

Use Case

Remote condition monitoring of beverage fountain machines

Self service fountain beverage dispensers have become increasingly popular. However, key challenges remain for beverage companies to drive optimal sales and maintenance strategies for this new customer-friendly equipment.

The first challenge is driving better maintenance scheduling for equipment to ensure beverages are of the highest quality and that machines are operating within desired parameters. Arbitrary maintenance schedules are expensive when maintaining a large number of deployed dispensers.

The second is to ensure machines have an adequate stock of syrups and flavors. Visibility to actual machine usage is essential to improve accuracy of stocking components.
