The coffee machine has come a long way—from simple drip brewers to sleek, app-connected devices that know your favorite latte. Now, with every sip, it is no longer just about convenience—it’s about intelligence.
“It’s a blend of art and technology,” says Henri Parmentier, Senior Product Manager at ADLINK, on the future of AI-powered coffee machines.
Today’s consumers want more than a great cup of coffee—they desire smart features such as:
“You could ask your coffee machine for a stronger or milder brew depending on your mood,” adds Parmentier. “It can even adjust based on the type of beans it receives—tailoring every cup like a seasoned barista.”
These features are quickly becoming standard—but building them into compact consumer devices presents a new set of challenges.
So how do you pack AI smarts into such tight constraints?
The Open Standard Module (OSM) offers a compelling answer. Developed by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET), OSM is a compact, modular, and standardized form factor designed for next-gen embedded computing.
Unlike traditional computer-on-modules, OSMs use surface-mount technology (SMT) for direct integration—eliminating bulky connectors, lowering costs, and simplifying production.
OSM modules eliminate the need for custom board design, reduce certification costs, and simplify long-term support. This lowers both development and operational costs.
With robust software ecosystem support, OSM modules enable rapid prototyping and deployment without starting from scratch.
Some OSM CoMs are as small as a postage stamp yet can run complex AI inference tasks, thanks to built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs).
OSM delivers just the right mix of compute, memory, and I/O—no extras, no waste.
Designed for low-power edge AI, they support workloads like image classification or voice recognition without draining energy.
With wide temperature tolerance and rugged construction, OSM modules are perfect for the high-heat, high-moisture environments inside coffee machines.
Built-in support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and Ethernet makes it easy to connect to apps, the cloud, and smart home systems.
AI-capable modules are transforming more than just coffee machines. They’re becoming the foundation for intelligent kitchen appliances, such as:
The race toward smarter coffee machines is heating up—but the winners won’t just offer more features. They’ll deliver fast, scalable innovation at an efficient cost.
By adopting AI-capable, OSM-based computer-on-modules, manufacturers can unlock the perfect balance of performance, efficiency, and speed-to-market. Whether you’re building the next-gen espresso machine or an entire line of smart kitchen appliances, OSM is the platform to build on.
