Hit the Ground Running, by Whatever Beans Necessary!
Let’s face it, the best coffee in the world comes from Italy. Don’t believe it? Try to talk to any barista without using the words "espresso", "cappuccino", "latte", etc.
Italian coffee is great, and thanks to beverage vending machine market leaders Evoca, situated in lovely Valbrembo, Italy, you can have the closest thing to the original percolate from their machines into your cup.
Things have not always been rainbows and coffee beans for Evoca, though. Their devices were running legacy software code that inherently became harder to maintain, upgrade and align with fast-moving technologies. In addition to the obsolescence of the software, there was no standard base code shared across all the vending machines.
That’s why Evoca, in collaboration with our partner Witekio, developed a new vending machine based on NXP i.MX6 DualLite, as well as software components that would allow the creation of a new generic standard platform (system and application). One of the key requirements of this project was to design an intuitive interface enabling a rich and new user experience.
