Patent ID: 8626564

Claim:
A system for simulating drink production comprising: a processor configured to: aggregate existing material information, wherein the existing material information is associated with a beverage input of at least one drink product; receive predicted material information, wherein the predicted material information is associated with the beverage input of the at least one drink product; aggregate production information, wherein the production information is associated with production resources of the at least one drink product; receive timing information of at least one drink product; generate a mathematical blending model for the at least one drink product including objective functions and constraint functions, the objective functions being limited by the constraint functions; generate, using the mathematical blending model for the at least one drink product, a blending plan of the at least one drink product based on the objective functions; model consumer liking for the blending an of the at least one drink product to determine a liking profile; and determine a production plan based on the aggregated existing material information, the predicted material information, the aggregated production information, the timing information and the consumer liking.
