Communication enabled disposable cartridge for electrostatic spraying

A disposable fluid delivery system for an electrostatic applicator, comprising:

• a disposable cartridge containing and/or configured to be filled with or otherwise receive a treatment solution and a nozzle assembly configured to dispense the treatment solution;
• a communication interface system coupled with or part of the disposable cartridge, the communication interface system comprising one or more communication or identification modules, wherein the communication interface system comprises a memory storing an encrypted data set comprising operating parameters that comprise at least one of at least one spray-generation parameter, at least one electrostatic-charging parameter, and an authenticity credential, wherein the memory comprises executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the communication interface system to:
• exchange data with an electrostatic spray-generation subsystem;
• retrieve and decrypt the encrypted data set;
• authenticate the disposable cartridge based on the authenticity credential;
• and
• configure the electrostatic spray-generation subsystem in accordance with the operating parameters obtained from the decrypted data set.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by processor, cause the processor to perform a method for operating an electrostatic applicator, the method comprising:

• establishing communication between a communication interface system of a disposable cartridge and memory of the electrostatic applicator;
• verifying authenticity of an encrypted data set stored on the communication interface system;
• and
• configuring operating parameters that comprise at least one of at least one spray-generation parameter and/or at least one electrostatic-charging parameter based at least on the encrypted data set.
