Vendon, a provider of telemetry, IoT, and payment solutions for the coffee and vending industry, has unveiled a new IoT solution for traditional espresso machines.
This new technology is said to bridge the gap between bean sourcing, roasting, and brewing, giving roasters and coffee operators the insights they need to perfect every cup, streamline operations, and enforce contractual obligations.
Vendon sees the solution as addressing the everyday pain points faced by coffee businesses—including roasters, manufacturers, HoReCa managers, and operators.
Challenges such as ensuring consistent quality across multiple locations, tracking consumption and sales, and managing machine maintenance are seamlessly addressed with this technology-driven approach.
“We know how frustrating it can be to keep track of multiple machines and ensure consistent quality. That’s why we’ve designed a solution that not only tracks performance but helps operators optimise their day-to-day operations. It’s about making their lives easier and their coffee better,” says Raivis Vaitekuns, global partnerships manager and resident coffee expert at Vendon.
Vendon’s telemetry solution is universally compatible with all traditional espresso machines, making it a go-to choice for operators managing mixed fleets. At its core lies the versatile hardware device vBox, now complemented by the innovative BaristaBox. These devices connect seamlessly to coffee machines, transmitting data to Vendon Cloud. Operators can then monitor their entire fleet—regardless of brand—from a single, intuitive platform.
With just a few clicks, businesses can access essential reports and insights, transforming raw data into actionable strategies.
The solution supports businesses in maintaining coffee quality by monitoring brewing processes and ensuring compliance with company standards. It also encourages sustainable practices by optimising resource use and minimising waste. By addressing maintenance needs proactively, businesses can avoid unexpected disruptions and protect the longevity of their machines, which are valuable assets.
