Utilizing vending machine-like sensored springs and a simple Wifi connection, the Office Bud-e monitors in real time the quantity of beers in stock at any given time, up to 180 in total. When inventory begins to run low, this smart fridge connects to local delivery services to re-stock the supply, employing the latest innovations in digital tracking. With the option to set up automatic orders or simply send the office manager e-reminders to reorder via the Anheuser-Busch web portal, Office Bud-e seamlessly delivers office luxury with ease.

“Good workplaces offer two things to their employees, at minimum: health insurance and a beer fridge. Anheuser-Busch wants to make keeping that beer fridge stocked a bit easier with the Office Bud-e. It's a Wi-Fi-connected smart beverage refrigerator with a slim profile and a generous capacity, that lets you know by email or through the Web when your office is running low on suds.” - PCMag, UK

Aesthetically pleasing, the Office Bud-e is sleek and comes in seven different designs with a small, alphanumeric LED display in the right corner that accurately reads the current temperature and connectivity and featuring branded art from Bud Light, Budweiser, Golden Road, Goose Island, Shock Top, and Blue Point.

SPECS

REQUIREMENTS

Wi-Fi
WARNING: A 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router is required to connect your Office Bud-e to the internet. Office Bud-e cannot join a Wi-Fi network with a secondary level of authentication. Be sure to check your Wi-Fi specifications before ordering an Office Bud-e. See "What is secondary level authentication?" and "What is a 2.4GHz network?" for more information.

Q: What is a secondary level authentication?
A: Secondary level authentication is a 'landing' web page shown to a user before they gain more-abroad access to URL or http-based Internet services. An example of this is when a user attempts to join a free Wi-Fi network at the airport. Before gaining access, the user is redirected to a web page which may require authentication, payment, acceptance of policies or other valid credentials.

Q: What is a 2.4Ghz network?
A: Wi-Fi routers most commonly run on a 2.4GHz frequency. Dual band routers also provide a supplementary 5GHz network. If using a dual band Wi-Fi router, be sure to join your Office Bud-e to the 2.4GHz network.

Mobile device and App
An iOS or Android mobile device is required to connect your Office Bud-e to your Wi-Fi network.
