[LOYALSUNS Technology] Smart Connectivity vs. Hardware Devices: Which is the Subordinate?
2025-05-23
As the concept of AI has surged in popularity, many people have started installing apps like DeepSeek and DouBao on their phones. These apps efficiently assist us in thinking and making decisions—so much so that many have overlooked the fact that hardware devices, epitomized by our smartphones, are actually the fundamental driving force behind the widespread adoption of AI.
The same holds true for the self-service coffee industry—for instance, a certain domestic chain coffee brand launched an in-app purchase service in 2020. Although the service emphasizes smart connectivity, it focuses solely on providing consumers with intelligent and convenient interactions, placing particular emphasis on the quality of coffee ingredients and price advantages.
This operational strategy has caused the unmanned self-service coffee vending machines—smart service terminals—to miss out on the spotlight in this grand drama of smart connectivity, leaving them reluctantly relegated to the role of insignificant “minor supporting characters.”
In fact, unmanned self-service coffee machines should be the direction that industry professionals should think more deeply about in the wake of the smart connectivity boom.
Founded in 2014, LOYALSUNS is one of the few pioneers in China’s self-service coffee vending machine industry and currently serves as an industry leader. Today, LOYALSUNS is at the forefront of the industry when it comes to its thinking on the smart technology sector.


1. Modular design empowers intelligent interaction.
The successful implementation of intelligent technologies in the service industry is inseparable from APP interaction.
Whether it’s customizing products with an app-oriented approach or selecting app features based on existing products, the concept of “modularity” is indispensable.
Based on this, LOYALSUNS leverages its robust R&D system and modern manufacturing facilities to independently develop and produce modules such as the “brewing module,” “ice-making module,” “carbonated water module,” and “milk foam module.” Moreover, all of these technologies are at the forefront of the industry.

Brewing module
√ Large-capacity extraction chamber, 12-28g per batch
√ The structure is easy to disassemble and convenient to remove from the machine.
√ Fully waterproof design, easy to maintain
√ A combination of metal and high-strength plastic, with a long service life.

Ice machine module
An ice-making speed of 120g per day ensures continuous sales of chilled beverages.
√ Precisely and quantitatively dispense ice to ensure consistent product quality.
√ The ice cubes are hard and transparent, and they melt more slowly.
√ Can operate stably for extended periods in harsh environments
√R290 refrigerant, highly efficient and environmentally friendly

Carbonated Water Module
√ Rich in bubbles
√ Can continuously produce sparkling water.
√ Better weather resistance and longer lifespan
√R290 refrigerant, highly efficient and environmentally friendly

Milk Foam Module
√ Can set gas content
√ Optional hot and cold
√ Comprehensive CIP Automatic Cleaning Solution
√ Refrigerator preservation (≤4℃)
√ Over-temperature and over-time monitoring
Meanwhile, LOYALSUNS supports managers in logging into the SKYCLOUD platform to check various operational statuses and also enables quick integration with third-party software and external payment devices.

Whether it’s customized products or the development of tailored operating systems to support them, LOYALSUNS not only provides highly efficient implementation solutions but also significantly reduces costs for all parties involved, thereby better helping customers achieve smart connectivity.
II: Addressing the Shortcomings of “Pre-made Dishes” in the Self-service Industry
The current AI trend in the self-service coffee industry is more evident in areas such as remote ordering and efficient transactions; meanwhile, the actual taste of the coffee once it reaches your mouth seems to have become a mere “byproduct” in this smart game.
In most cases, the coffee that consumers end up getting from vending machines—much like pre-made dishes—lacks the rich, nuanced flavor that only a barista can achieve, and seems indistinguishable from instant coffee.
LOYALSUNS, on the other hand, can achieve double grinding and double extraction of 28 grams of coffee beans in a single batch, delivering a rich and intense flavor profile. This unique advantage is exclusive to the industry, and its drinking experience far surpasses that of capsule-based self-service coffee machines, coming as close as possible to replicating the experience of a traditional, manually crafted coffee shop.

In addition, LOYALSUNS supports the preparation of a wide variety of beverages—including, but not limited to, sparkling water, fruit juices, and milk tea—beyond just hot or cold coffee, enabling an “one machine, one store” operational model.
Even setting aside the realm of intelligence, just looking at self-service coffee machines themselves—from the perspective of product variety, functionality, services, or any other aspect—LOYALSUNS Langlicheng can serve as a benchmark and represent the future direction of the industry.
