O-Cafe - The New Espresso Machine Monitor

O-Cafe™, the new espresso machine monitor developed by OriginGPS and Avelon, that combines patented IoT and micro-boiler technologies to help maintain espresso machines from the cloud. The solution uses multiple sensors to measure operational functions and provide alerts, to a single point of contact or group, avoiding the time-consuming activities and expenses incurred from machines breaking down or malfunctioning. The O-Cafe™ also includes a self-replaceable halogen bulb to further decrease downtime. All data collected by the sensors is transferred to the cloud via advanced cellular communication, where it may be analyzed, and the machine configurations may be changed.
