Allink Co., Ltd. received the Innovation Award at ‘CES 2023’ for its unmanned beverage extractor equipped with its own solution.
AllLink, which received investment from Naver D2SF, developed a solution that transfers data from a smartphone to a desired terminal using an NFC tag. First, we applied our self-developed NFC data transmission solution to payment services and launched ‘Mirae Asset Pay’, Korea’s first iPhone NFC payment service, with Mirae Asset Securities. Since then, it has been expanding its business area by providing NFC Tag-based authentication solutions to the membership services of Samsung Electronics and 7-Eleven.
The product that received the CES 2023 Innovation Award is an unmanned beverage extractor using Alllink’s NFT solution. After ordering and paying with a smartphone, the drink is served when you touch the NFC tag next to the drink dispenser. Various types of coffee, carbonated water, milk, etc. can be provided, and users can also choose the volume. Order data entered on the smartphone is transmitted to the beverage extractor through AllLink’s NFC solution.
Alllink plans to officially launch an unmanned beverage extractor in the first half of 2023, and plans to expand its application solutions to entry systems and kiosks specialized for unmanned stores. Unmanned stores can be built without separate payment kiosks or readers, significantly reducing related costs.
Kim Kyeong-dong, CEO of AllLink, said, “By winning this CES Innovation Award, the possibility of applying the AllLink solution to unmanned stores has been recognized.” He added, “With the recent expansion of the unmanned market, we will be installing a beverage extractor and entry system specialized for unmanned stores in the first half of 2023. “We will officially launch it and actively expand our business.”
Meanwhile, AllLink has recently been recognized for its global technology by winning first place in Fintech at GITEX Dubai 2023, the world’s largest technology exhibition, for its data transmission technology.
