Beer dispense monitoring via the Internet
Understand dispense equipment status with beer dispense monitoring using the Internet and wireless GSM/GPRS solutions to deliver consistent quality.
Beer dispense monitoring background
A broad range of equipment is required for beverage dispense such as fonts, chillers, coolers, carbonators, pumps and compressors for dispensing post-mix soda, beer, ice, juice, tea and frozen drinks. Beer is dispensed to the brand owner's specifications within pubs, restaurants, fast food outlets, convenience stores and hospitality chains.
Business challenge for beer dispense monitoring
The key challenge is to deliver consistent quality to maximise beer, beverage and retailer brand performance. This can be achieved by dispensing beer and beverages at the correct temperature, level and mix levels. Downtime and poor quality result in poor customer service and lost sales.
it is advantageous to identify "hotspots" within the bar and monitor the response to promotions
In order to maximise sales, it is advantageous to identify "hotspots" within the bar and monitor the response to promotions. Brand owners, retailers and breweries wish to identify theft and fraudulent use of lower cost alternatives, which have a detrimental effect on brand image and can cause equipment failure. Since failures and usage patterns are unknown, it is difficult to identify field usage problems and improve reliability. With rising energy costs, there is a growing need to identify energy waste and losses to reduce energy costs. Beer dispense monitoring enables these challenges to be overcome.
