Background
Challenges
- Establishing a global back-end IoT control system.
- Enabling the robotic arm to complete various motions in a limited space.
- Programing the robotic arm to execute the latte pattern, which has been adjusted and improved many times over a long time to meet the standards of barista-made coffee.
- Delivering an experience of fluency and transaction security from choosing a meal, placing an order, paying, to picking up a meal.
- Providing absolute material monitoring that collects data on the production time and material status of each order to achieve immediate tracking.
Solution Architecture
Results and Benefits
The unmanned coffee kiosk can achieve 100% remote control, no manpower is required, and it can be opened for business as long as there is a power socket, and it can stay open for up to 22 hours a day. The speed of coffee production is also unmatched. A cup of American coffee without milk can be completed in one and a half minutes, and 26-40 cups can be made in one hour. At present, the Rovii team actively wants to enter the international market; its strategies include: using unmanned self-service to increase the ROI of individual stores, operating multinational exhibition stores (remote management) to enhance brand competitiveness, utilizing the replicability of robots to scale exhibition stores, and becoming the platform for member users to extend the product line. Rovii also hopes to expand the technology of coffee front-end preparation, develop factory-type roasting centers in overseas locations, and expand the scale of automated production. Rovii wants to control all the stores in the world from the office in Taiwan.
