A server communicates with a target device that consumes a consumable. A controller of the server receives a request to modify a target service for the target device to a first service from a second service. Each of the first and second services is a service in which a new consumable is to be ordered for the target device on the basis of a residual quantity of a currently-used consumable. The controller acquires specific information in response to the request. The specific information is related to an order placed for a new consumable while the target service has been set to the second service. The controller sets a first threshold value on the basis of the specific information, and orders, as a part of the first service, a new consumable for the target device when the residual quantity is lower than or equal to the first threshold value.

Der heutige manuelle Handel mit verpackten Lebensmitteln - ein Anachronismus, der nicht automatisiert werden kann - führt statistisch zu 1/3 Verlust und Verpackungsmüll, beides eine Plage für die Umwelt und ein „Zeitfresser“ für den Kunden. Unser neues automatisiertes Food Chain System (FCS), ein Game Changer, liefert nur die Zutaten, die nach einem per Smartphone bestellten Rezept portioniert wurden, frisch von der Großhandelsquelle in die Küche des Kunden. Trolleys 2 pendeln zwischen Quelle und Kunde, bringen frische Ware und nehmen die Reste von den Tellern der Kunden zur Wiederverwertung auf und werden von automatisierten Abgabestellen sofort ausgeliefert, eine Einkaufshalle gibt es nicht mehr. Der Pendeltrolley wird kostengünstig mitgenommen oder angeliefert. Gekocht wird von einem Automaten, der die Zutaten entnimmt und die Geräte in der Küche ersetzt. Der Automat reinigt sich und das Geschirr selbst und kann jedes Rezept zur gewünschten Zeit zubereiten.FCS reduziert Lebensmittelabfälle und damit CO2-Äquivalente drastisch, bietet Preisvorteile von mehr als 30 %, arbeitet Tag und Nacht, ist hygienisch und vermeidet Menschenansammlungen, man denke an Pandemien. CO2-Äquivalenteinsparung für die EU, bis zu 10 Mrd. Euro/Jahr, keine Plastikverpackungen, Rohstoffeinsparung, weniger Mikroplastik.
