AIoTO — Artificial Intelligence + Internet of Things + Temperature Optimization
Global AIoTO Intellectual Property Infrastructure
Wada FoodTech’s proprietary AIoTO infrastructure is supported by a growing international intellectual
property portfolio spanning the United States, Japan, China, the European Union, the United Kingdom,
and Australia.
The company’s patents cover key technologies across the hot-chain ecosystem, including thermal
control systems, AIoTO-enabled monitoring infrastructure, intelligent dispensing mechanisms, hot-
chain logistics optimization, and heat-retention packaging architecture.
Together, these technologies form the foundation of Wada FoodTech’s scalable AIoTO food
infrastructure platform for next-generation automated foodservice.

Why Temperature Optimization Matters
Traditional food systems rely on cooling and reheating processes that degrade texture, moisture, and flavor consistency.
AIoTO’s Temperature Optimization continuously maintains meals within the scientifically optimized
hot-chain zone, preserving food quality, safety, and operational efficiency without reheating.

Hot-chain Logistics System
Related Patents
Heat Retention
Maintains meals
continuously above 65°C
throughout transportation
and storage without
reheating. Preserves taste, texture,
and freshness by
eliminating temperature
fluctuation across the hot-
chain lifecycle.
Temp. Stability
AIoTO-enabled
temperature optimization
ensures stable thermal
conditions from central
kitchen to vending
machine deployment.
Real-time monitoring
minimizes thermal
deviation and supports
consistent food quality at
scale.
Energy Efficiency
The hot-chain system is
designed for ultra-low
operational energy
consumption, requiring
only approximately USD
1.60–2.00 per vending
machine per day. Passive thermal retention
architecture reduces
electricity dependency
while maintaining safe
serving temperatures.
Safety Assurance
Meals are continuously
maintained outside the
bacterial danger zone
(5°C–60°C) in alignment
with HACCP food safety
principles. AIoTO monitoring enables
proactive temperature
control and operational
visibility across the entire
distribution process.
05
Smart Dispensing Structure
Related Patents
Smooth Delivery
AIoTO-enabled logistics and
dispensing systems ensure
hot meals are delivered
seamlessly from central
kitchen to consumer with
minimal handling
interruption.
User Safety
AIoTO monitoring enables real-
time temperature visibility and
proactive operational safety
management throughout the hot-
chain process.
Anti-jam Design
Patented smart dispensing
structures are engineered to
minimize package blockage and
ensure stable meal delivery
performance.
Future AIoTO-enabled smart pre-
ordering and automated meal
reservation systems are expected
to further enhance operational
efficiency and consumer
convenience.
