Automated Beer Pouring: Enhancing Gillette Stadium's Fan Experience

 

Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, must prepare itself to host even 60,000 guests for just a couple of hours. During that period, there is a team focused on ensuring guests have a great experience. From the moment they park their car until they leave the stadium with a smile. To face this challenge the Kraft Group with the advent of Extreme Analytics, has taken things to the next level. By collecting and analyzing massive amounts of data from various sources, such as fan surveys, social media, and ticketing information. Leading to the creation of new services such as automatic beer pouring or autonomous purchasing at concession stands, enhancing the overall fan experience.
