EPoCA is the monitoring system that allows remote management of all ILSA’s professional kitchen equipment. Thanks to this innovation, the chef can check the operation of the various devices in real time, even when he is not physically present in the restaurant or pastry lab. Technology is a great help in the preparation of better and safer food.
The advantages of remote monitoring of kitchen equipment
In the kitchen, details make a difference and can cost dearly. A food that is not cooled to the right temperature, a leavening process that is not completed in the required time, an oven that does not heat up as it should, can all compromise the realisation of a dish. Sometimes this can be fixed. Often it is necessary to start the recipe preparation all over again, losing a lot of time and wasting ingredients. Remote monitoring of kitchen equipment allows for better organisation of work, without nasty surprises. Even remotely, the chef can keep an eye on the operation of the various tools and check that everything is going as planned. When an anomaly is registered, the system automatically sends alarm notifications to request the chef’s intervention. In addition, the system allows the energy consumption of the equipment being used to be analysed in order to correct inefficiencies.
How remote monitoring of kitchen equipment works
The EPoCA system is based on a cloud platform. To use remote monitoring, all you need is a wireless connection installed in the restaurant or bakery. The kitchen equipment made by ILSA is already set up to connect to Wi-Fi. They are equipped with sensors that record different operating parameters. If they are connected to the internet, they are able to transmit this data, which is collected online in the EpoCA platform, accessible via a restricted area from smartphones, tablets and PCs.
Access to the system is completely free of charge and does not require any subscription fees.
In addition, the storage of all operating data provides useful information on energy consumption and the quality of stored food. It also allows the restaurant or bakery manager to certify the food processing. HACCP data can be viewed and exported very easily.
ILSA’s remotely manageable equipment
Providing a quality service to the customers of a restaurant or pastry shop means choosing state-of-the-art, high-performance professional equipment. Products made by ILSA are a ready-to-use solution. Evolution refrigerated counters, refrigerated cabinets, seasoning cabinets, proving cabinets and blast chillers are designed to provide remote monitoring. They are able to connect to the EpoCA system, all you need is a Wi-Fi connection. They make it possible to optimise and organise work in the kitchen, reduce waste and energy consumption.
The EpoCA system also allows access to incentives under the Transition 4.0 plan.
