Touchless Water Dispensers

Bevi's Smart Water Machines Support Fully Contactless Experiences

— June 16, 2020 — Lifestyle
Thanks to an update, Bevi's smart water machines for commercial spaces will soon support totally contactless experiences, meaning that people can enjoy still and sparkling flavors without having to interact with a shared touchscreen. On July 13th, Bevi is rolling out a touchless solution so that people can enjoy filtered still, sparkling, flavored and enhanced water by using their smartphone rather than the dispenser itself.

With touchless dispensing, Bevi employs mobile device cameras and QR code scanner apps to replicate the machine dispense screen. Users will be able to access a range of customization options and as they return to work, they will especially be interested in choices to enhance their beverages with functional benefits from electrolytes, natural caffeine and Vitamin C.
