Endless Possibilities
While each of our systems is designed with a particular application in mind, our technology is universal.
Over the years, we’ve developed solutions for a broad range of sectors, and we’ve yet to be presented with a challenge we couldn’t rise to. If your machinery generates data that you want to capture and view remotely, then our team can help you.
We’ve put together a selection of applications below to demonstrate just how versatile our systems are.

Working with a large multinational coffee supplier, we designed a remote monitoring system to collect information from its 14,000 coffee machines spread across convenience outlets and petrol forecourts in five different countries.
The system captures the machine record of all products dispensed – by volume, by type and by time – and displays a summary of the data on a secure, web-based dashboard. This gives the client full visibility over machine activity without the need for an on-site engineer.
With this information on hand, the client can identify usage patterns, predict sales volumes, address any machine errors and proactively manage machine uptime. All this translates to better sales and a more effective proposition for the retailer.
We created a monitoring system to help a vending machine business tackle its stock control issues. With over 2,000 machines located across Ireland and the UK, the company had relied on a manual process of physically checking and restocking every machine. This extremely costly and labour-intensive approach could rarely keep up with demand.
The thinking behind the system we designed is quite straightforward; it monitors every product dispensed and generates an alert when stock levels are low. This allows the company to target its resources more efficiently and only deploy staff when and where they are needed.
By enabling remote management of stock levels, the system has greatly reduced the number of machine stock-outs, improving sales and generating better customer satisfaction.
We were approached by a large Irish farm machinery manufacturer looking to learn more about how and where its products were being used. Rather than only interacting with customers when something went wrong, or when it was time to replace a machine, the company wanted to gain greater insights into usage so that it could better anticipate customer needs.
Our solution was a bespoke monitoring system to record machine activity measurements and enable pre-emptive action to be taken before issues arise. A device installed on each machine can relay usage and location data through a cloud-based server and present it to the client on a web-based dashboard back at HQ.
In what would be a big step for our client, we also configured the system to allow for a longer-term shift in the company’s business model. By introducing remote connectivity and performance monitoring, the company can transition to a ‘machinery as a service’ offering where it will share the machine output risk with the farmer.
Although still a novel concept in many industries, the sale of products ‘as a service’ will become more and more necessary to compete. Our future-proofed systems can help you to digitise your offering and make this a reality for your business.
Large fridge failure, in a supermarket, hospitality or healthcare setting, can have huge implications for a business. Valuable contents can be destroyed, replacement costs are invariably high and the knock-on effect of stock-outs can have a major impact on day-to-day operations.
We devised a solution that minimises these risks through constant status monitoring. Daisy-chaining multiple fridges in one location to a single cellular device, the system tracks the status of each fridge unit and transfers this data to an online dashboard.
The dashboard presents real-time information about the condition of each fridge and even enables remote access to the temperature controls when needed. If a fridge begins to fail, a technical alert is sent to the owner, giving plenty of time to respond and avoid a full outage.
For this project, we collaborated with a noise pollution monitoring specialist to design a system that cut down on man-hours by eliminating the need for on-site inspections.
Under a Smart Cities initiative, the client had developed a precision recording device that measured noise pollution at different times of the day throughout the year. Devices were located across several sites and recorded measurements locally. At set intervals, an operative would inspect each device and manually download the machine data to a USB stick.
We devised a connectivity solution that feeds the live readings from each site to an interactive, web-based dashboard. This noise level data is then automatically shared with the appropriate agencies. Using the system, the client can track noise levels across multiple locations in real time and instantly retrieve historical readings to facilitate comparative and trend analysis.
First, our meter tracking device is fitted to the truck. This links up with the electronic flow meter and collects data on every stock movement as the driver goes about his day. GPS coordinates are then layered over the meter data and the combined information is published to an online dashboard in real time.
Back in the office, or on the go, your team can access the dashboard throughout the day to review the current status. They can view the vehicle trail, see the number of deliveries made per driver and monitor the level of stock on board every truck at any given time. Aside from the normal functions of a fleet tracking system, DreamTec Command presents the collated analysis of stock and vehicle activity, enabling the redeployment of resources in real time to maximise productivity and enhance customer service.
As each day’s movements are recorded in the system, a picture can be built up over time to determine trends and assess performance. Data on delivery quantities, times and locations; unplanned stops or multi-drop drift is displayed through the system’s reporting tools and helps to monitor work rates, detect discrepancies and inform business decisions. Our market comparison tool even allows for live competitor benchmarking – giving you unprecedented market insight – and heat maps can be generated to identify gaps in your distribution coverage for future targeting. The DreamTec Command smartphone app also provides a useful snapshot of business activity from anywhere, at any point throughout the day.
The calendar function within the system lets your team pinpoint a transaction or movement from any date at the touch of a button, dramatically reducing administration time and swiftly resolving customer queries or disputes. And, with unlimited dashboard logins as standard, you are granted company-wide connection at no extra cost. We can configure access by depot, by department or by individual personnel – whatever your business requires.
