The future of intelligent or food machinery

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the intelligentization of food machinery and equipment is becoming more and more obvious. It is believed that in the near future, intelligence will become a key point in the competition of the food machinery equipment industry.

In recent years, the food industry has increasingly adopted robots. Robots replace humans and take on tasks that are difficult to secure under the influence of low birthrate and ageing, as well as processes that require training and require skilled workers. From June 7th to 10th, at the FOOMAJAPAN 2016 International Food Industry Exhibition held at the Tokyo Ariake International Convention and Exhibition Center, many robots for the food industry were exhibited.

Seven-Ocean Manufacturing Co., which operates commercial ovens and other products, exhibited a robot Powerful that automates some of the processes used to make chicken cakes. This robot is responsible for the skillful process of battering during the production of chicken cakes.

When baking a chicken cake, it is necessary to stir the batter several times during baking in order to evenly batter the batter. This stirs up. In this process, besides stirring, it should be uniform, and in order to prevent the oven temperature from being too low, the operation must be quick. The wages of the operator who masters the battering process are higher by a factor of 10 than the average operator. This is a job that requires skilled technology.

The company has independently developed operating procedures for the Powerful Jun equipped with Yaskawa Electric's commercial dual-arm robots. By taking a video of a skilled worker and analyzing its actions, the robot can perform the same actions as a skilled worker.

JapanSystems showed the decorating robot that can finish the task of decorating the cake with cream. The robot uses SQUSE's 5-axis servo robot. Can cope with the robot's movements, synchronizing the cream.

The decorating robot can also be used in combination with a cake decorator that applies cream on the cake. JapanSystems has demonstrated the entire process of using squiggly robots and cake decorators to apply cream on the surface of sponge cakes for tens of seconds and decorate them with cream. The company said that the decorating robot has been adopted by many companies.
