Telenor Connexion said that its client ISA presented a new line of internet-connected ice cream display cabinets at the 40th Sigep Artisan Gelato, Pastry, Bakery and Coffee World trade fair in Rimini in January. The connected gelato cases enable owners to set temperature warnings, schedule maintenance and keep the ice cream looking good using built-in cameras, computer vision and AI capabilities.

Live video images are compared to set parameters related to visual appeal and HCAAP safety standards. If the gelato on display is not up to standard, an alert is sent to the operator dashboard so changes can be made. Retailers can track sales improvements based on the AI monitoring, too.

Telenor Connexion itself took part in Sigep, too, to explain that manufacturers can quickly and profitably deploy IoT services.
