Abstract: A system and method are provided for improving product usage prior to refill of product dispensers in service areas that include a plurality of such dispensers. Via a sensor configured with each of the product dispensers and a control system in communication with the sensors, a product level or amount condition of product in each dispenser is detected. Based on the information from the sensors, a visual or audio message is generated and transmitted to the patron that encourages the patron to use a first product dispenser that has a greater product fill amount as compared to a second product dispenser in the same or a different service area.

Abstract: A system and method for joining devices to a network by use of any augmented reality installation device. The installation system described herein includes an installation device, e.g., a smart phone, that includes a camera to capture an image of the device(s) in a facility, e.g., the area in which the devices are mounted or positioned for end user use. Then, through use of image analysis techniques and a graphical user interface (GUI) on the installation device, e.g., dispensers, in the image are individually identified and joined to the network.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for maintenance of service areas within a facility by a plurality of attendants, wherein each service area has one or more product dispensers that require periodic refill. Via a sensor configured with each product dispenser and a control system in communication with the sensors, a product level or amount of product in each dispenser is determined. Based on information from the sensors, a respective refill time is computed for refilling each of the dispensers. Location of the attendants is tracked on a continuous or periodic basis. As a function of the computed refill times and location of the various attendants, one of the attendants is selected to service one or more of the product dispensers in a particular service area. An alert message is generated and transmitted to the selected attendant that gives the location of the particular service area within the facility. Determination of the selected attendant is made such that the selected attendant reaches the particular service area at or near the computed refill time of the one or more product dispensers in the particular service area facility.
Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统和方法，用于由多个服务员维护设施内的服务区域，其中每个服务区域具有一个或多个需要定期再填充的产品分配器。 通过配置有每个产品分配器的传感器和与传感器通信的控制系统，确定每个分配器中的产品水平或产品量。 基于来自传感器的信息，计算相应的再填充时间以重新填充每个分配器。 与会者的位置是连续或定期跟踪的。 根据计算的再填充时间和各种服务人员的位置，选择一个服务人员为特定服务区域中的一个或多个产品分配器提供服务。 生成一条警报消息并将其发送给选定的服务人员，以提供设施内特定服务区域的位置。 对所选择的服务员进行确定，使得所选择的服务员在特定服务区设施中的一个或多个产品分配器的计算的再填充时间处或附近到达特定服务区。
