Case Study: Keith & Koep achieves flawless, 6-second automated cocktail service with Microsoft Azure

Bartending meets IoT: Automated cocktail mixer produces flawless drinks in seconds

Keith & Koep, a German maker of embedded computer systems, teamed with Gastromatix to solve a common event-hosting problem: how to deliver high-end cocktail service at festivals, conferences, and weddings without costly supplies, skilled bartenders, long lines, or complex logistics. Event organizers needed a fast, reliable, and trackable solution that combined dispensing, point-of-sale, inventory and remote management.

The result is Gastromatix’s Cocktail-Booster powered by Keith & Koep’s Myon I module running Windows 10 IoT Core and connected to Azure IoT. The touchscreen mixer handles up to 40 ingredients and serves perfectly portioned drinks in about six seconds, while cloud telemetry automates inventory alerts, reporting, billing and remote management. Customers see faster service, lower labor and waste, accurate tracking, and scalable deployment at festivals with plans for permanent installs and predictive fleet management.
