Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$70,438.00
Device Management Web Application System
FY 2020-21
Summary
When golf courses provide food and beverages 'at the turn' or 9th hole, lineups are typical, slowing the number of golfers who can play a day. The selection of beverages and food is based on an 'anticipated' need, but Chefs find the waste in the kitchen is high. It is challenging to know what a golfer will feel like ordering when they arrive 'at the turn'. These line ups, limited food choices (perhaps not aligned to what the client actually desires) and the slow of play is a point of lost revenue. AT the Turn Inc. is a Calgary company that has a simple, intuitive solution and golf courses are intrigued. Five courses are piloting the device with great success and happy users. They have been able to add up to eight more paying golfers each day - that is a revenue increase of $800 per day, before they order and get their food and beverage 'at the turn'.
After successfully completing a NSERC Engage grant with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Centre for Innovative Information Solutions (CIITS) in 2019, At the Turn is ready to work on the next step. They need a web management system for their devices to manage the volume deployed to the field locally and globally. They will work to develop a point-to-point communication application system using LoRa Hat.
