Description

After completing 2 initial phases of a technology deep dive our final phase is to develop and engineer a working prototype of our smart pourers and smart fridge system.


This phase will be split into two parts. A; will consist of finalising a proof of concept and B; to procure, test and debug the proof of concepts from part A. This will end with prototypes of the devices being developed. For testing purposes, it is proposed that an off-the-shelf control application (preferably android based) will be used for testing and verification.

There would be a preference for the supplier to have a background in fluid dynamics and dispensing.
