Callibrating and monitoring fluid flows for liquids and pre mix syrups with communication to remote databases, online till systems and product distribution

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for flow detection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, namely pre-mix bag in the box syrups. A sensor (Fig 1, 102) on the fluid supply line, with a centralized online calibration of the sensors output to determine its true flow volume, via the control module ( Fig 1, 104) and using the remote database connecting device 208 and local and server side scripts. The device uses software for signal classification for line clean, line pull detection after line cleaning, sale and wastage state, with output signal conditioning, thus removing the need for conventional sensing points in the line to detect the fluid state. Embedded software is based on the sensor module on the fluid supply line (Fig 1, 101) on the control module (Fig 1, 104) and with the scripts remote from the sensing hardware 206. The device integrates till receipts with real line flows for all beverage types online and in real time to determine the following: till theft or discrepancies, product profitability, current stock holding and stock out date predictions, product cost based on wastage and accurate sales volumes, order numbers, trends and product ranking and sales predictions, with manual or auto ordering of products required from the site, with an auto delivery and product distribution service though a payment account or a payment gateway.
