REMOTELY SECURED AND LOCALLY CONTROLLED USE OF LIQUID MILK IN THE PREPARATION OF HOT AND COLD DRINKS BASED ON LIQUID MILK OR CONTAINING LIQUID MILK IN AUTOMATIC MACHINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF DRINKS OR MACHINES FOR THE SALE OF DRINKS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G05G1/00 G07F13/06 

FIELD: electronic system for the production of milk-based drinks.

SUBSTANCE: electronic system for remote provision and local control of the use of liquid milk in the preparation of drinks based on liquid milk is described, which includes one or more disposable components that can be connected to other disposable components or separately for individual replacement independently of other disposable components. The disposable components comprise disposable liquid milk containers and disposable milk lines for fluidly connecting disposable liquid milk containers to liquid milk delivery nozzles. The electronic system contains tags to be associated with disposable replacement components used in drink vending machines to replace the corresponding disposable components that need to be replaced, and storing unique identification data about the associated disposable components. The electronic system also includes a validation server configured to determine, based on the data stored in the tags, whether the associated disposable replacement components meet the necessary requirements for replacing the respective disposable components. The electronic system also includes one or more operator terminals configured to communicate and interact with the validation server and drink vending machines to ensure replacement of disposable components with appropriate disposable replacement components. The operator terminals are configured to read the tags associated with disposable spare components, communicate with the verification server to send data read from the tags to the verification server, and receive from the verification server notifications of consent or refusal to use the associated disposable spare components. Drink vending machines are configured to receive data indicating the duration of use of disposable spare components from the terminals of operators and ensure the use of disposable spare components for the corresponding duration of use when preparing and serving drinks based on liquid milk or containing it.

EFFECT: effective performance.
