Introduction
EPoCA is a remote monitoring system based on a cloud platform that meets the
needs of the food preservation and cooking sector, from refrigerated units to
food equipment.
All that is needed is a simple onsite Wi-Fi internet connection to enable EVCO
controllers, using EVlink Wi-Fi modules, to connect to the cloud system,
making it possible to remotely manage equipment from a PC, tablet, or
smartphone.
The responsive design and the graphic interface conceived to provide a
pleasant user experience make EPoCA a ready-to-use solution for easily
accessible monitoring operations, even for entry-level users, while offering
all the typical functions of professional platforms.
With appropriate protection measures for access and data, the system makes it
possible for one or more enabled users to operate remotely on the unit to
configure its parameters, view HACCP data (also in graphic form), and download
records in the most popular formats, such as XLSX, CSV, and PDF.
The functions playing a key role include alarm warnings sent automatically by
the system to selected e-mail addresses.

How to get started
Make sure to carefully read the installer manual before starting any wiring
and configuration.
Check the download section at http://www.evco.it/en/16215-epoca
The configuration of your EVlink Wi-Fi shall be performed from a device with Wi-Fi connectivity in the following ways:
-
Via internet browser
Please refer to the installer manual for instructions
Check the download section at http://www.evco.it/en/16215-epoca -
Via EVlink Wi-Fi app
If you work from a smartphone or tablet (Android 5.0 or later versions), you can download our EVlink Wi-fi app on Google Play for a user-friendly configuration.
Please watch video tutorial here https://youtu.be/TEgLlRAnSGQ
Once the configuration of your EVlink Wi-Fi module has been completed, a “plant file” will be available on your device.
A group of EVCO controlled units, namely a “plant”, can be created simply by
uploading the first “plant file” in the configuration page of each additional
EVlink Wi-Fi you want to add to the same plant. You can group them according
to your needs.
If you want to add EVCO controlled units to an existing plant, you just need
to upload the same “plant file” in all EVlink Wi-Fi modules.
The units will be automatically detected.
Now open your internet browser and go to https://epoca.cloud/
If you have not created your EPoCA account yet, besides producing a username
and password, it is mandatory to upload at least one “plant file” and the
relative plant password.
If you already have an EPoCA account, you can add further plants, provided you
have the relative “plant file” along with the plant password.
If you don’t remember the password click the link Lost your password? Click
here, digit your username and afterwards click the link SEND RESET REQUEST VIA
EMAIL: an email (to the address you have set while creating the account) with
a link to change the password will be sent.
If you don’t remember your username and/or the email has been removed from the
account, it is necessary to contact EVCO.
