Introduction
EPoCA is a remote monitoring system based on a cloud platform
which meets the needs of the food preservation and cooking sector,
from refrigerated units to food equipment.
All that is needed is a simple onsite Wi-Fi internet connection to
enable EVCO controllers, using EVlink Wi-Fi modules, to connect to
the cloud system, making it possible to remotely manage equipment
from a PC, tablet or smartphone.
The responsive design and the graphic interface conceived to
provide a pleasant user experience make EPoCA a ready-to-use
solution for easily accessible monitoring operations, even for
entry-level users, while offering all the typical functions of
professional platforms.
With appropriate protection measures for access and data, the
system makes it possible for one or more enabled users to operate
remotely on the unit to configure its parameters, view HACCP data EPoCA
(also in graphic form) and to download records in the most popular
formats, such as XLSX, CSV and PDF.
The functions playing a key role include alarm warnings sent
automatically by the system to selected e-mail addresses.
