## Wallace

Connects OPPI to what is not built in.

Describe a system and Wallace works out how to connect it. In the kitchen that starts with the sensors on your cold units.

-   Describe it

    #### Tell Wallace what the system is.

    Describe a system OPPI does not have built in. Wallace researches how to connect it and writes a briefing. You approve the briefing, and OPPI reads that source on a schedule from then on.

-   The cold units

    #### Sensors on the walk-in, read through Wallace.

    In the kitchen, Wallace is how the sensors on each fridge, freezer and the walk-in reach OPPI. Their readings log by themselves, and one out of range opens a corrective action.

-   The odd one out

    #### The system only your group uses.

    Groups run software nobody else does. Wallace connects OPPI to it through what that system already offers, an MCP server, a REST API or an upload, so the kitchen's numbers are not split across two screens.

### How it works

1.  #### Describe it

    Tell Wallace what the system is, in plain words.

2.  #### Approve the briefing

    Wallace researches how to connect it and writes up a briefing. You approve it.

3.  #### Read on a schedule

    OPPI reads that source on a schedule, from a cold unit's sensor to a group system.

### Where it runs

-   [Fridges and freezerTemperature loggingEvery unit on the round. Every reading kept.](https://oppi.au/oppipantry/temperature)

### What changes

-   [Food safety you can proveThe record is already there when someone asks for it.](https://oppi.au/oppipantry/outcomes/audit)

-   [The right stock, in the right placeNot out. Not over. Where you expect to find it.](https://oppi.au/oppipantry/outcomes/stock)

### Questions.

Does Wallace replace my other systems?

No. It connects OPPI to them. You describe the system, approve the briefing, and OPPI reads from it on a schedule while the other system keeps doing its job.

Do I have to write code to connect something?

No. You describe the system in plain words. Wallace researches how to connect it and hands you a briefing to approve.

What can Wallace read from?

A source that offers an MCP server, a REST API or an upload. Once you approve the briefing, OPPI reads it on a schedule.
