DADO Platform Powers Innovation for Major Brands
In the weeks leading up to CES, DADO announced their first partnerships with Behmor Inc., a leader in coffee brewing and home roasting technology, and Char-Broil LLC, the leading manufacturer of gas grills and smokers in the United States. Both companies announced their support for the DADO Platform and plans to integrate the platform into their products in 2015.

The DADO Platform enables consumers to easily control connected appliances with a free mobile app that monitors multiple functions during the cooking, brewing or roasting process via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. For manufacturers, the cost of implementing DADO technology into new products is minimal. The DADO Platform fills a gap in everyday technology, building custom smart appliance solutions into products, rather than retrofitting an existing appliance.

"We are proud to be sharing our DADO Platform and these exciting, new connected products with the world today at CES," said Tom Worley, founder and CEO of DADO Labs. "By enabling cutting-edge, smart technology inside their products, DADO is helping major brands, like Char-Broil and Behmor, stay competitive in the marketplace by delivering the innovations their customers want in a brand they already know and love."
