Description: | The consortium will develop a high performance, distributed, real-time, low-cost, fully configurable system that supports 'plug and play' installation, monitoring and control of catering equipment (I'MOK Compliant Route-map) at both a kitchen specific level (LAN Control Station) and across networks of food establishments (WAN Control Station). This will automate device status, intelligent monitoring and control to leverage a step-change in operational efficiency leading to an increase in compliance with safe food storage and cooking procedures, resulting in a significant reduction in the build up of harmful bacteria, energy wastage and cost associated with utilisation of catering equipment in diverse kitchen environments. | |
| Relevance to HYDRA: | I'MOK provides support to both kitchen managers and kitchen staff through the use of new network ready kitchen appliances and counterpart intelligent software and hardware platforms. The I'MOK system utilises the NAFEM standard to provide step changes in food quality, safety and performance monitoring.
