Summary
This Korean SME develops food technology automation equipment using robots. They developed Korea's first machine called 'BB BEER BOX' which uses robots to pour and sell cool draft beer.
In addition, the robot and the barista have collaborated to develop an operating system with "Barista Robot TOM," which provides drip coffee and are looking for partners to expand the food tech market.
Description
1)In 2002, an SME in Korea was established to manufacture and sell industrial automation parts. In 2020, the company expanded its business area from an automation part to an automation SI using robots and a fourth industrial technology.
The long-standing experience of automation parts manufacturing to produce robot automation solutions to meet the customer needs of the industrial field has greatly helped us to understand the manufacturing field and has been able to accumulate robot technology quickly. The introduction of IT technology not only increases productivity in the industrial field but also creates a new type of industry and added value called food technology. It may be hard to imagine the application of the 4th industrial technology to food, but 'BB BEER BOX', a robot that automatically pours draft beer, and 'TOM', a barista robot make dreams come true. These solutions were developed recently, But as soon as released, it signed an MOU to collaborate with many companies and also got numerous requests from food companies.
2)The avoidance of face-to-face service and rising labor costs due to COVID-19 are global phenomena, and robots that will replace workers in daily life have become a reality. In places like the hotel lobby, waiting rooms at the hospital, airport, and station, you can open the store with an unmanned system in a small space. You can enjoy the same taste of high-end hand-drip coffee all the time. Also, you can enjoy a cool draft beer late at night in a breezy hotel terrace. Won't it be expensive, tasteless, and take long to wait, are you worried? 'BB BEER BOX' and 'Barista Robot TOM', developed for the first time in Korea, include reasonable product prices, guarantee always the same taste, and fast manufacturing time! You can feel analog nostalgia from the digital machine! Don't you want to experience this new type of system? It can be installed in unmanned stores and manned stores for 24 hours.
3)The company has robot engineers, production teams, and sales teams that can make various equipment. So they can make customized equipment to fulfill your needs and teach professional robots.
Based on excellent technology and experience, the Korean company wants to enter the food tech market. Even in Europe, where coffee and beer are consumed a lot and the history is long, they want to expand the new system with partners.
