The HiPromatic is truly wireless thanks to its plug-and-play installation with no need for cables or wires, allowing the hotel to place the refreshment center in any location. Using the �ZigBee� wireless standard, the hotel does not need to have an existing local wireless infrastructure. Wireless continues on the inside with ambient shelves that entice guests and only require electrical power. 

The ease-of-operation designed into the HiPromatic leads to more efficient management and increased profits. A simple to use personal digital assistant (PDA) streamlines the refill process making it paperless. New user-friendly Windows software operates the Stock Control System and Product Expiry Management. It allows the hotel to set individual temperatures for each refreshment center, provides individual programming of the private guest section and sends email notification of alarms for proactive maintenance. The HiPromatic features E-field sensing technology that works without the need for moving parts, meaning no wear and tear. Three models are currently available.
