Vendon, a provider of telemetry, IoT and payment solutions for the coffee and vending industry, has introduced an IoT-based monitoring system for traditional espresso machines.

The technology provides real-time insights into coffee quality, machine performance and operational efficiency.

The system aims to address common challenges in the coffee industry, including maintaining consistency across multiple locations, tracking consumption and sales and managing machine maintenance. It is designed for roasters, manufacturers, HoReCa managers and operators seeking to streamline operations and enforce quality standards.

Raivis Vaitekuns, global partnerships manager and resident coffee expert at Vendon, said: “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 optimize their day-to-day operations. It’s about making their lives easier and their coffee better."

Vendon’s telemetry solution is compatible with all traditional espresso machines. It includes the vBox hardware device and the newly developed BaristaBox, which connect to machines and transmit data to Vendon Cloud. This platform allows operators to monitor entire machine fleets from a single interface, regardless of brand.

The technology enables businesses to track brewing processes, maintain quality control and optimise resource usage. It also supports sustainability by reducing waste and ensuring proactive maintenance to prevent equipment failures.
