MACHINE & MACHINE REFURBISHMENT
Food robotics and vending operators forge a new alliance
The hardware solutions of food robotics and the operational excellence of vending operators are converging, creating a new playground for innovation in the food industry. This convergence marks a significant
Effortless coffee machine maintenance planning
Preventative maintenance can offer a range of benefits that can impact the reliability, efficiency and cost-effectives of coffee machines, allowing them to operate flawlessly and continuously, producing
drinks of high and consistent quality. Modern solutions to assist with this allow users
to schedule maintenance either after a certain number/cups of dispensed products, a particular time period, a certain level of water consumption, or a set amount of ingredient consumption. With a centralised tool for scheduling and
tracking maintenance works, the planning and allocating of resources is effortless all the while the operator stays informed about ongoing tasks and keeps accurate records of maintenance activities. This not only offers convenient monitoring of machine maintenance but also forecasts the
date of planned upkeep based on chosen criteria. For example, upon choosing to carry out machine maintenance after a certain amount of dispensed cups, the forecast date for the work is automatically generated. Vendon’s new Preventative Maintenance Solution, integrated into the Vendon Cloud, is an
example of such a solution. It takes care of all maintenance work monitoring and ensures automatic management of upcoming, planned, and completed repairs or upkeep of the coffee machines.
“Our team is always striving to develop solutions that provide the most convenient user experience and, at the same time, bring real benefits to our customers. The Preventative Maintenance solution is a tool we were very much looking forward to implementing as it will greatly assist in the daily operations of coffee industry businesses and ease the maintenance and upkeep of the machines”, says Marta Fišere, the product manager at Vendon.
shift as two previously distinct domains find common ground to bring fresh and tasty culinary experiences to consumers on the go. Leading the charge in this marriage of technology and operational expertise are pioneers like Alberts and Yokai Express. Alberts has introduced the revolutionary Alberts One Blending station, designed to create fresh blends such as smoothies, frappés, and even hot soups at the touch of a button. Meanwhile, Yokai Express has captivated taste buds with its fresh ramen machine, delivering steaming bowls of this Japanese dish with speed and precision. Chief executive and co-founder of
Alberts, Dr Glenn Mathijssen said: “The success of these ventures is all the more remarkable considering the tumultuous history of the food robotics industry. Many previous projects failed to gain traction but the tide has turned, and a new era of operability and profitability is dawning.” He believes that as food robotics technology continues to evolve, there is growing optimism that these projects can find a stable footing, and that the collaboration between hardware innovators and vending operators holds the promise of transforming the food industry, offering efficient and tasty options for consumers seeking quick, high-quality meals. “With the convergence of food
robotics and vending operations, the question arises: ‘Are we on the cusp of a gastronomic revolution? Will these ground-breaking technologies be able to provide the mass market with a taste of the future?’ Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the once-distant realms of food robotics and vending operations have found common ground, and the potential for an extraordinary culinary landscape is closer than ever.”
