Immersive Training Product
Traditional safety officer training can be far too time-consuming, unrealistic, and expensive for most agencies. That's where virtual reality comes in.
Hamilton Beach Brand integrated with Amazon’s Dash Replenishment Services (DRS) to create their first connected device – the FlexBrew single serve coffee maker. This device automatically re-orders K-cups, coffee filters, and water filters based on actual inventory on hand. To launch the smart kitchen appliance, Hamilton Beach partnered with Amazon, Ayla Networks, and Vectorform to deliver a full replenishment solution.
Project Goals
Modify the FlexBrew hardware platform to integrate Wi-Fi connectivity.
Deliver a mobile solution on Ayla’s Mobile Foundry platform.
Integrate with Amazon’s Dash Replenishment Services.
Automatically reordering of your coffee is just the start of many new innovations that make people’s lives easier, and their time in the kitchen more enjoyable. At the same time, we hope to have a closer relationship with our customers, gaining insights into how they interact with their home appliances and what features are most valuable to them.
Getting Connected
Easily get your FlexBrew on your home Wi-Fi through an intuitive setup process. Users simply link their Amazon account and make a few basic selections on their coffee preferences.
Never Run Out
Automatically re-order K-cups, coffee filters, and water filters through Amazon Dash Replenishment Services (DRS). By customizing selected order triggers during setup, you will never run out of coffee or receive a shipment before you are ready.
Manage Inventory
The FlexBrew allows you to also account for supplies purchased elsewhere. You can manually adjust your FlexBrew count through the application to track your pantry’s inventory of K-cups, with options to manually adjust when needed.
Creating devices that replenish based on usage gives users the assurance of never running out of supplies, without having to keep unnecessary inventory on hand. This solution ensures that you always have the freshest coffee and cleanest filters.
