Creating the next generation of connected coffee machines

Knowing Philips ambitious end goals for the appliance, and that the company needed not one, but four models for the product range, our team developed a common code to simplify evolutions and optimize maintenance.

Thanks to our wide skillset and embedded software experience, we were able to find and resolve issues that appeared during product development, including:

• Putting in place unforeseen security features and processes that will be used during manufacturing
• Developing a simulator of the UI to be used on the commercial website for marketing purposes.

No matter what issue happens, our team find a solution to secure your time to market.

When developing a living product that is capable of feature updates, personalization, and connectivity to other home appliances, you need to work efficiently to get the job done on time.

Using a disciplined agile approach we were able to have the flexibility our developers needed for feature development, while respecting the constraints that come with the product development of an industrial project.

By creating, testing and updating the code as we went, we could update Philips with feasibility and workload estimates, as well as provide a precise and realistic dialogue on the implementation of features.

• Philips first "living product" machine launched. An appliance with the ability to have meaningful updates OTA, so that it can continue to improve
• Launch of an ongoing digital CX improvement program (through software updates) with Witekio and Philips for maintenance and evolutions
