Configuration File Database for Dispensing Systems
Systems, methods, and computer program products for configuring and managing chemical dispensers. A mobile device scans for and wirelessly connects to dispensers within range of the wireless device. The wireless device downloads one or more configuration files from a database of dispenser configuration files for configuring the dispenser. In response to the user selecting a configuration file, one or more configuration parameters defined by the configuration file are uploaded into the dispenser. The wireless device may then step the user through setup of the dispenser using data in the configuration file. The mobile device may further determine the location of the dispenser, and upload the location to the database. The database may then associate the dispenser with the location as well as keep track of how the dispenser is configured.
