Using NB-IoT connectivity, each connected barbecue securely sends operational data to a Smart BBQ Management System online dashboard that can be accessed from a desktop computer, tablet or mobile device. The system records key information including BBQ usage, energy consumption, operating temperatures, session activity, fault conditions and maintenance-related alerts.

This information allows asset managers to better understand how individual BBQs and entire networks are being used. Usage trends can assist with maintenance planning, asset replacement decisions and the identification of high-use or underutilised locations.

The system also supports faster fault response by providing clear information about the operating condition of each connected unit. Maintenance teams can review reported faults before attending site, helping them arrive better prepared with the correct parts and service information. This can reduce unnecessary inspections, improve first-visit repair outcomes and minimise equipment downtime.

Depending on the project requirements, authorised users can also remotely adjust operating temperatures, manage available cooking times, schedule system availability and disable a BBQ when required. Data can be integrated with compatible Smart City platforms through an API, allowing Greenplate BBQ information to sit alongside other connected public infrastructure.

The Smart BBQ Management System is suitable for individual high-use locations or large public BBQ networks. It provides a practical way to improve asset visibility, support preventative maintenance and make more informed decisions using reliable operational data.

By combining connected technology with Greenplate’s proven electric BBQ systems, asset owners can improve service response, better manage maintenance resources and provide more dependable public cooking facilities for the community.
