Chinanews.com, Aug. 19 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-- according to a report in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao, the Hong Kong Science Park Company exhibited the innovations of the members of the "Technology Entrepreneurship cultivation Program" in the park on the 18th, including the world's first "mechanical instant coffee station" Cafe X, which uses mobile phone "Apps" to buy coffee remotely, positioning technology to ensure that fresh coffee is brewed as soon as it arrives, and the process is fully automated with top German coffee machine technology. He will serve the teachers and students of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in September.

Cafe X entered the Science Park six months ago to replace manual coffee making with a robotic arm. Guests can use a mobile app to place an order remotely and achieve zero queuing. "our software will use GPS or Bluetooth to locate the location of the guest and then guess when to make coffee." Sun Haoxuan (Jack), one of the founders, explained. In addition to being available for remote purchase, Cafe X uses premium coffee beans and cooperates with German coffee maker manufacturers, charging from HK $30 per cup.

Cafe X will enter the campus of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in mid-September this year to provide services to staff and students.

Smart products are a major theme of the exhibition. AIVVY Q wireless WiFi headphones developed by Aivvy know how to analyze their tastes from users' song-choosing habits, and then automatically collect songs from the cloud. There are also inventions for household products, the remote energy management mobile phone application invented by Yifeng Technology Co., Ltd., which can monitor and control the use of household appliances.

Chen Qingtao, manager of the Technology Entrepreneurship incubation Programme, said, "in the third phase of this project, we hope to support local technological innovation in Hong Kong through incubation programmes and technical support, so as to encourage more young people to join the scientific research industry. Jack added: "the Science Park Company has given us a lot of support, both in the legal team and in market planning."

Cafe X, together with the other five inventions, will be on display at Megabox in Kowloon Bay from August 24 to 30, allowing the public to experience these innovative products up close.
