Background
)
Traditionally, designing commercial bar and beverage systems was a meticulous process that often spanned weeks to finalize configurations. Customers and designers encountered challenges in accurately visualizing the layout and making adjustments according to their needs.
Challenge
)
The opportunity was to streamline the design processes, recognizing that traditional methods demanded considerable time from both customers and designers. Furthermore, enhancing visualization capabilities was seen as essential, empowering customers and designers to vividly envision the final bar layout. Additionally, simplifying complex calculations for technical specifications like BTU, horsepower, and space constraints was identified as a key area for improvement to reduce errors and enhance efficiency.
Result
)
By implementing four innovative configurators (BeerFlex, BarFlex, FridgeFlex, and FaucetFlex), Krowne empowers its customers and designers to interactively design and visualize bar layouts, bar systems, and food service products. The seamless integration of over 10,000 configurations drastically reduces design time from weeks to just a few minutes, saving valuable resources for both customers and designers. Additionally, the enhanced visualization capabilities enable more accurate and tailored bar layouts that meet individual customer requirements. Krowne's internal algorithms automate complex calculations to ensure precise technical specifications, minimize errors, and optimize system performance. Furthermore, the automated ordering process simplifies procurement and logistics, leading to faster project completion.
