What Pubinno Smart Tap is
Smart Tap replaces the traditional manual tap with an intelligent system featuring a touchscreen, control electronics, flow sensor, and connection to the Pubinno ecosystem. The goal is for every serve to be more precise, faster, and more measurable.
In a conventional bar, beer quality can vary due to pressure, temperature, line cleaning, keg condition, staff training level, or demand peaks. Smart Tap helps standardize the operation and reduce invisible losses that usually go undetected until the end of the month.
For Install Beer, Smart Tap is a high-value solution for projects where the client is not just looking for “a tap,” but a tool to improve performance, product control, customer experience, and decision-making.
Ideal if you have any of these problems
- Too much foam or variation between pours.
- Product loss due to overfilling or poor pouring technique.
- Difficulty knowing how many liters have actually been served.
- Lack of data by tap, brand, shift, or point of sale.
- Need to increase speed at peak hours.
- Operation with multiple bars, venues, or events.
Main business benefits
More consistent pour
The system helps keep portions, flow, and service more uniform, reducing variability between bartenders, shifts, or locations.
Waste reduction
It helps tackle losses due to foam, overfilling, poor operation, poorly managed keg changes, or lack of visibility into actual performance.
Higher service speed
Automation frees staff to take payments, prepare other orders, serve customers or oversee more than one line during peak demand.
Portion control
Allows working with configurable formats: tasting, small glass, caña, pint, mug, or other volumes defined by the project.
Real-time data
With Smart Hub you can check liters served, performance, quality, incidents, keg levels and behavior by point of sale.
Ready for self‑service
Smart Tap can be integrated with TapPay to turn the tap into a self-service station with QR, NFC, contactless payments, or specific integration.
How Smart Tap works in a professional installation
Preliminary study
We review installation, type of beverage, pressure, temperature, tower, cold room, lines, connectivity, service volume, and the client’s objective.
Retrofit installation
Smart Tap is installed on a compatible tower using specific adapters and accessories, avoiding a full rebuild of the installation when feasible.
In-line Sensor Box
The Sensor Box measures flow and sends data to the system to control portions, consumption, efficiency, and line behavior.
Setup and training
Drinks, portions, service parameters, alerts, users, Smart Hub, and operating guidelines for the team are configured.
Smart Tap improves a correctly balanced installation, but it does not by itself fix a poorly sized system. Before installation, it is advisable to check cleaning, pressure, temperature, keg condition, gasket condition, and the stability of the cooling system.
Smart Tap + Sensor Box: real line control
The Sensor Box is the component that makes it possible to measure the actual beverage flow. It is installed in the line and works together with Smart Tap to feed the control algorithms, calculate volumes served, and improve operational traceability.
This measurement is key for projects where it matters to know how many liters have been served, how much product is lost, which lines perform best, and which incidents affect service quality.
Key technical data of the Sensor Box
- Flow rate: 1–20 liters/minute.
- Operating temperature: -10 °C to +80 °C.
- Operating pressure: up to 16 bar.
- Maximum pressure: 40 bar.
- Accuracy: ±1.00%.
- Liquid connection: 3/8” OD Push Fit, with other sizes available on request.
