Reiterating its commitment to provide versatile solutions to the foodservice industry, Elanpro, India’s leading commercial refrigeration company, unveiled the next-gen Connected Refrigerator, Elanpro’s first IoT- (Internet of Things) enabled Smart Hub platform.
The company has also forayed in the vending machine business with the launch of First Smart AI cooler. This offering is part of Elanpro’s strategic alliance agreement with Vendekin, a Pune-based vending ecosystem start-up.
A market research by the top management of the brand found that distribution of temperature sensitive products like milk, ice cream, flavoured yoghurt and other dairy items had multiple roadblocks with a majority occurring due to inadequate monitoring.
The Connected Refrigerators, which address this concern, allow retail and kirana store operators to monitor the temperature through Smart Hub. The platform allows to monitor 20 equipment installed in store at a time. It is equipped with intuitive alert feature that raises an alarm on diagnosis of a problem.
Speaking at the launch, Sanjay Jain, director, Elanpro, said, “We are adopting smart and connected technologies to revolutionise the Indian refrigeration market for the food service industry. With the introduction of new IoT-enabled Smart Hub, we aim to give a superlative experience to the retailers and kirana store operators along with pharma industry.”
Elanpro also launched India’s first artificial intelligence-enabled Visi Cooler. Developed post the strategic alliance agreement with Vendekin, a digital platform that enables smart vending ecosystem for buyers and sellers, Smart Visi Coolers are intelligent self-service equipment.
The product is introduced with the aim of making shopping easier in labour void places. Equipped with a video surveillance system for monitoring and electronic lock system for safety, the new-age vending machine accepts digital payment.
The agreement between Elanpro and Vendekin aims for the promotion of V-Commerce business for various sectors like FMCG (fast-moving consunmer goods) retail and HoReCa (hotels, restaurants and cafes). Under this agreement, the two companies have agreed to integrate the expertise and jointly develop the business.
Speaking about the strategic alliance, Sanjay Jain, director, Elanpro, said, “We are thrilled about this partnership. With this alliance we are intending to expand our footprint in the cosmopolitan retail sector. We plan to integrate our refrigeration solutions with Vendekin’s innovative technology to bring a never-thought before dispensable products.”
The alliance will strengthen Elanpro’s presence in the emerging vending machine market for the retail industry.
Vendekin pioneers the digitisation and democratisation of vending with its patented disruptive technology for unmanned automated vending machines, micro-markets and self-service kiosks.
Founded in 2016 by Aroon Khatter, Vendekin is a funded start-up backed by industry stalwarts, which offers a wide range of intelligent vending machines equipped with digital payment and touch-free dispensation. With presence in India, UK, USA and UAE, the company has Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) giants as partners.
Speaking on the latest partnership, Aroon Khatter, founder and chief executive officer, Vendekin Technologies, said, “We are extremely excited to be working with Elanpro. With this association we have an opportunity to fill the technology gap faced by food service industry. It is a fantastic opportunity for both companies to combine the skills and knowledge for the benefit of this industry.”
Elanpro’s new range of products provide accessibility with the IoT-enabled Connected Refrigerator and ease of use with digital payment equipped vending machines. Designed in a way to result in maximum power conservation and better durability, Elanpro products are reliable and easy to maintain.
