Automation in gastronomy, general food production or foodservice automation, can include all activities from selecting ingredients to preparing them and serving food and drinks to customers. Room linear robots remove ingredients from the shelf, and cooking robots process them. Barista robots remove and serve the freshly prepared coffee. And delta robots assemble a burger with pick & place.
The rotary, pivoting, and linear movements in all of these processes are performed with bearings, gearboxes, and robotic components. These motion plastics, as they are called, are maintenance-free and can be implemented easily and cost-effectively.
