WIRELESS PROGRAMMING
Through its Leventi Booster ³combined convection, steam and microwave oven, Leventi Cooking and Baking Systems has introduced its ‘Advanced Booster Technology’ - a special microwave technique combined with hot (convection) and/or moisturized air. Whether one wants to prepare a single meal or regenerate twenty plates, the memory of the computer store 200 cooking programmes which can each be up to 6 phases,. These phases, can have a different setting of three cooking techniques, thus enabling a technique that enables an even cooking level that results optimal quality within a minimal time.
This is also the first combination unit of its type to be compatible with the latest ‘RFID technique’ (Radio Frequency Identification Technique). The Leventi PROtag enables users who have prepared ideal methods, dishes, menus and seasonal specialities and saved them on this special tag , then hold them against the wireless reader on the Leventi Booster control panel . In less than a second, up to 40 programmes may automatically transmitted from the tag or vice versa. It ensures the fast and easy transfer of recipes without baving to reprogramme every oven. As such, it is claimed, the operation of the oven is just as simple as paying by credit card or collection money from the cash dispenser.
Bar Code scanning was introduced in 1974, and has since exceeded expectations. Since then, in the food and many other industries, the introduction of ‘EPC’ Electronic Product Codes (a unique serial number embedded in a microchip or tag attached to each individual product) using RFID enables the code to be read over short distances and employed in a multiplicity of potential uses. Like the microwave oven, the basic enabling technology of RFID emerged after the invention of radar during World War II. Since 2003, when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the help of the food and consumer products industry, introduced the EPC, it was correctly forecast to dramatically streamline product distribution and transform the entire shopping experience of supermarket customers. MTA members may remember too, how our Winter 1998 issue of Highlights carried an article that reported how NCR Corporation, leading an international consortium of the world’s leading banks forecast the above and other imminent developments.
