EKTECH Helps Fast Food Chain Improves Internet Connectivity

Using just one internet connection is not very prudent, and if you are running a fast-moving business, it can be downright risky. This is because if your sole internet connection goes down, your business operations will come to a halt as well. Combining multiple internet connections to increase overall speed is a smart way to get more from your internet. Not only does it boost your connection and guarantee the best speeds, using the bandwidth of two or more connections at once also helps to prevent slowdowns or interruptions in service. This is a case study of how one of our clients successfully managed to aggregate internet connections to boost overall speed. In 2022, a popular global fast food franchise approached EKTECH for help. They were having problems with their network connectivity due to their infrastructure, which led to unstable and unreliable connections.

How the IoT Transformed the Vending Machine

The earliest example of how the Internet of Things (IoT) changed the vending machine was when students at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) came up with an idea to put microswitches inside the Coca-Cola vending machine to track how many bottles were available at any given time. At that time, the students and faculty of CMU were consuming around 120 bottles of Coca-Cola products each day, which resulted in times when thirsty students and faculty would find themselves standing in front of an empty Coke machine after a troublesome walk up or down a flight of stairs. In addition to the microswitches, they also created a software for the departmental computer to track how recently the bottles were loaded, so students and faculty could ping the computer for information about the availability of soft drinks. Today, the functionality of IoT in the vending machine has evolved beyond just tracking stock availability. Here are five examples how the IoT has transformed the vending machine to be capable of enhancing economic returns and delivering a better user experience: 1. Smart Payments Following the COVID-19 pandemic, most consumers have adopted cashless modes of payment and are now used to it. Being able to pay

Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Outsource Your Network

Managed services allow companies to outsource all or partially of the operations, management, and support of their IT network to a reliable tech company. Many companies in this age of time are adopting this idea to increase productivity, improve performance and reduce costs. Here are the top 5 reasons why a company should outsource their network services. Lower Your Costs Most companies often think that they would be saving money by insourcing their IT and network tasks. However, in the long run, outsourcing actually allows companies to reduce their costs by spending less on in-house hire, staff training and the high costs and time of upgrading and implementing the latest network infrastructure.
