Solution
Our collaboration with Cana was marked by technical prowess and innovative vision. Together, we joined forces to enhance the capabilities of Cana’s machines, with Sirin Software’s dedicated team playing a pivotal role in this endeavor.

A cornerstone of our solution was the telemetry subsystem, meticulously crafted using C++, Qt, and QDBus. This system became a vital component, continuously monitoring the device and delivering real-time alerts for events and errors. This proactive monitoring ensured the equipment ran without any issues, avoiding possible interruptions in service.

The user interface, a critical touchpoint for Cana’s customers, underwent a transformative overhaul. Our developers created a visually appealing, vertically scrollable collection of media by utilizing QML’s dynamic features. The system’s pour control was intentionally integrated with this improvement to give users a rich and engaging beverage-choosing experience.

Beyond those obvious improvements, our team looked closely at the system’s inner workings. For improved efficiency, stability, and information delivery, the QML UI was optimized. Backend interfaces were also improved to prepare the system for upgrades and additional functions in the future. We also created a hidden Debug UI, that offers a diagnostic view into the internal functioning of the system, required for tuning and diagnostics.
