In July 2026, iPilot adopted a "dual-track" approach, simultaneously launching its products at the Hotel International Indonesia (FHI) in Jakarta and the Food & Beverage Expo (FOODEX) in Osaka, Japan. The former focuses on the heart of Southeast Asia, while the latter aims to set global trends in high-end food and beverage. With the two exhibitions overlapping (July 21-24 and July 22-24), the iPilot team collaborated across oceans, presenting a "golden name card" of intelligent beverage equipment to the world under the banner of "Made in China."

At both exhibitions, chain giants, channel integrators, professional buyers, and niche channel buyers from Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region flocked to the venues. ipilot not only showcased its core product strengths but also clearly conveyed the company's firm determination to cultivate Southeast Asia and expand globally through a dual-engine approach of "technology going global + localization adaptation"—making its leading one-stop solution a new infrastructure in the global beverage industry.

A pioneer in tea extraction machines is leading a standardization revolution that is reshaping the global tea beverage landscape.

As the pioneer of tea extraction machines in China, iPilot's full-scene tea extraction machine matrix on display has become a "new calling card for tea drinks" that overseas visitors are eager to experience.

For a long time, the tea beverage industry has been constrained by common global challenges such as reliance on manual labor, fluctuating flavors, and long training cycles. ipilot, relying on a precise temperature control system and pressure extraction technology, sets exclusive extraction curves for different tea raw materials, converting water temperature, water volume, and pressure into programmable digital parameters—ensuring that every cup of tea can stably reproduce the original flavor of the leaves, completely ending the era of "making tea based on experience."

A research and development manager from a leading chain tea beverage brand remarked on-site: "In the past, training tea masters for a new store took at least a month; now, with the advanced tea extraction machine, newcomers can get started in half a day, and the consistency of the products far exceeds expectations. This is the true technological foundation that can support the rapid replication and large-scale expansion of multinational chains."

From high-traffic commercial stores to lightweight office applications, the iPilot tea extractor has achieved full-scenario coverage. More importantly, iPilot has been specifically optimized for the hot and humid climate of Southeast Asia and the characteristics of local tea varieties, seamlessly integrating "Chinese technology" with "Nanyang flavor"—this is not only a victory for product strength, but also a vivid illustration of "deep local cultivation" in the globalization strategy.

Chinese tea drinks are striding into a new era of "data-driven" rather than "experience-driven".

Al Sparkling Cold Beverage Dispenser: an all-in-one solution igniting a new wave of casual social interaction.

If the tea extraction machine is the "technical leader," then the AI-powered sparkling beverage machine is undoubtedly the "traffic king" of the event. In the creative beverage experience area, a steady stream of visitors came to try it out, with overseas buyers eagerly taking photos of this "all-around beverage expert's" amazing operation.

This device is equipped with a leading AI flavor engine, integrating sparkling water, coffee, tea, and cocktail blending into one machine, truly achieving "one machine, multiple functions." Users can instantly produce high-standard beverages—from refreshing sparkling drinks to slightly tipsy mojitos—without the need for professional bartenders or multiple machines, significantly reducing kitchen space and labor costs.

The purchasing manager of a chain restaurant said on site: "We have always wanted to introduce alcoholic beverages, but we were worried about the complicated training and the bulky equipment. Now, with one machine and one-click production, the flavor is consistent and it is full of social topics, which directly helps us increase the average order value and attracts more young consumers to check in and spread the word."

ipilot has keenly observed that the Southeast Asian and Japanese markets are undergoing a consumption upgrade towards "all-day beverages"—from energizing coffee in the morning, to fruity sparkling drinks in the afternoon, to delightful cocktails at night, a single device can cover all scenarios throughout the day. This is precisely the core logic of ipilot's global strategy of "scenario first, experience is king," allowing Chinese manufacturing to not only export products, but also export a new business paradigm for beverages.

Commercial coffee solutions for all scenarios: From standalone machines to systems, one-stop empowerment for the global catering industry.

In addition to the Tea & Slightly Tipsy series, iPilot's one-stop integrated solution for the catering channel also attracted a lot of attention.

QA series coffee machines are designed specifically for chain restaurants, offering stable extraction and flavor reproduction, consistent quality, and efficient cup dispensing, helping partners easily upgrade their coffee menus.

Iced & Hot Pegaso PLUS unmanned self-service coffee machine supports 24-hour unattended operation, self-service ordering and cup retrieval by scanning a code, and is perfectly suited for scenarios such as schools, convenience stores, office buildings, and hotel lobbies, continuously generating stable revenue.

The flagship version of the instant powder series is compatible with a variety of powders, provides efficient dispensing, and significantly reduces labor and maintenance costs for convenience stores, canteens, and self-service restaurants.

More importantly, ipilot offers not just scattered equipment, but a comprehensive "full-service" solution encompassing raw material adaptation, equipment interconnection, and operation and maintenance management. ipilot devices are fully equipped with an IoT system, allowing customers to obtain a customized beverage operation system and comprehensive big data-driven operation and maintenance analysis without the need for multiple intermediaries. This represents a solid step in ipilot's transformation from an "equipment manufacturer" to a "smart catering service provider," and is its differentiated competitive advantage in conquering overseas markets.

The two exhibitions work together to embark on a new journey of globalization for iPilot.

Indonesia and Japan represent Southeast Asia's economic growth engine and a hub for high-end food and beverage technology, respectively. ipilot's simultaneous participation in these two international exhibitions not only showcases its brand strength but also clearly declares its globalization strategy: leveraging technological leadership and localized services to deeply integrate into the Southeast Asian and global food and beverage supply chains, making "ipilot" a local symbol in the smart beverage equipment industry.

In the future, Leading will continue to cultivate the Southeast Asian market, build a localized service network, and leverage the radiating effect of high-end markets such as Japan, Europe and the United States to promote China's intelligent tea and coffee solutions to a broader global stage.

ipilot, together with global partners, explores the new blue ocean of intelligent beverages and jointly opens a new chapter of growth in the catering channel!
