Robots in Fast Food Service

Solutions for Rising Wages and Labor Shortages

As fast food restaurant owners struggle to maintain profit margins due to labor shortages and rising wages, they are turning to AI and automation as practical solutions. Autonomous fry stations capable of cooking, seasoning, and plating food items can help address labor shortages, provide a safer working environment for staff, allow employees to focus more on customer service, and deliver higher and more consistent food quality. Upgrading self-service kiosks, which have become essential in fast food restaurants today, can further improve operational efficiency.

Automated Fry Station with AI Vision and Motion Control

To handle the demanding task of frying, robotic fryers are powered by edge computing systems with AI vision and motion control. These high-performance edge systems can recognize food items such as nuggets and fries while controlling robotic arms with high precision for consistent frying results. Integrated directly into autonomous fry stations, AI-powered edge systems help streamline operations, reduce waste, and free up staff for better customer service.

eBOX671B: Compact Edge System for AI and Motion Control

Powerful Processing

The eBOX671B leverages 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, DDR5 memory, and NVMe storage to deliver the power needed for real-time motion control. More importantly, it supports MXM AI modules to enable precise image recognition for food volume, quality inspection, and fry basket positioning.

Rugged Design and Flexibility

Thanks to the optional fan kit, this system operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +50°C. Additionally, triple-display support allows operators to monitor fry station operations more easily.

Extensive Connectivity

The eBOX671B offers rich I/O options, including LAN ports for controlling robotic arms and USB ports for connecting cameras. This makes it easy to integrate into various industrial automation and food service applications.

Self-Service Kiosk Offering Cash and Cashless Payment

Most self-service kiosks prioritize cashless payments, which may not meet the needs of areas with lower cashless payment adoption. It is essential for kiosks to accept both cash and cashless payments to offer customers greater convenience, free up staff for other tasks, reduce labor needs, and help lower operating costs. Additionally, kiosks can reduce transaction errors, help prevent fraud, and streamline order processing through wireless kitchen connectivity. Axiomtek’s SSK721 can fulfill these requirements with a highly customizable self-service kiosk design.
