## Technology

### Physical AI

X Barista uses Physical AI technology to replicate the manual techniques of world-champion baristas. The robotic arm reproduces wrist movements, milk frothing angles, and pressure profiles with millimetric precision. Every cup — from the first to the thousandth — is produced with identical quality.

### Barri — Digital Persona

Barri is an AI-powered digital persona integrated into the ordering system. Key capabilities:
- Speaks 70 languages fluently
- Takes customer orders via natural conversation
- Processes contactless payments (Tap-to-Pay, NFC, QR)
- Provides personalized drink recommendations based on customer behavior
- Eliminates the need for a separate POS terminal or cashier

### X-Dashboard

Cloud-based fleet management software accessible from mobile and web:
- Real-time sales reports and cup counts
- Instant fault alerts and maintenance notifications
- Remote software updates
- Campaign and advertising content management for onboard displays
- Stock-level warnings (milk, beans, cups)
