Welcome to our IoT-project!

"A coffee maker that remembers you"

Introduction

We are students at the "Herman Hollerith Zentrum" (HHZ) in Böblingen and will be graduating with a masters degree in Digital Business Management. Rubi the Brewbot is a project that came up in our IoT lesson. We got the task to concept a successful IoT application. Our team does not consist of development engineers or programmers. Therefore we are using the Living Lab Method to develop our IoT application.

Rubi the Brewbot

At the beginning of our project we had a lot of ideas for which we can develop an IoT application. After a brainstorming session we decided to work on an IoT solution for brewing your coffee in an office environment using an HC (Home Connect) enabled coffee machine. Our idea is to simplify the steps of getting a coffee. For our scenario we chose the BSH (Bosch Siemens Haushaltsgeräte) coffee machine in the building of Herman Hollerith Center. This is how Rubi the Brewbot was born.

Procedure

We worked with the Living Lab Method which consists of four phases:

1. Co-Creation
2. Exploration
3. Experimentation
4. Evaluation

In total we run two iterations. In each iteration we show the architecture of our mock up and explain the communication behavior. Finally, we produce an explainer video with focus on the Exploration phase as well as create a short presentation of the project.
