Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking part in our IoT field test. We truly appreciate your willingness to help us shape the next generation of connected coffee machines.

As part of this test, you’ll receive a gateway that connects your machine to our IoT platform. The goal is to gather valuable feedback from you — so together, we can build a dashboard that truly fits your needs.  

Please note that this is still a developing project. The dashboard will continue to improve over time, and to give you an idea of what we’re building, you’ll see some illustrative demo data in the current version.

Your feedback is essential to making this solution a success, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Share your feedback by sending an email directly to iotsupport@animo.nl
