Kitchen innovations with automation
“ Collaborative robots , also known as “ cobots ”, are automated robots specifically designed to work harmoniously and safely alongside human workers in a shared workspace ,” says De Santis . The robots excel at complementing the intelligence and problem-solving capabilities of their human counterparts . The precision , reliability and repeatability of automated working stations are engineered to enhance the overall productivity . Pizza Jukebox is an innovative new concept that Lab2Fab™ has developed , introducing a one-of-akind automated pizza-making robot . This technology delivers delicious pizza and provides an interactive experience that guests will remember .
Automated solutions for the food sector
The PizzaBot™ — a vital component of Pizza Jukebox — operates as a highly automated solution . “ We take an existing proven Red Mango concept for smoothies , add the PizzaBot™ technology that leverages robotics and automation to offer pizza without the need to add additional labour ,” explains De Santis . “ It precisely measures and dispenses each ingredient , ensuring consistent placement and quantity with every pizza ,” Kunkel says . “ The beauty of automation lies in its ability to maintain recipe accuracy . Once the desired recipe is dialled in , the machine and the robot are programmed to deliver pizzas cooked in the same manner , within the same timeframe , every single time .” Lab2Fab™ and Brix aim to create innovative food concepts .
