Chipotle appears into automating the preparation of avocados for his or her guacamole with a check of the Autocado, “an avocado-processing robotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados” earlier than an worker hand-mashes them to make the chain’s guacamole.
The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu, is presently being examined on the Chipotle Domesticate Middle in Irvine, California.
The Autocado must be loaded manually and may maintain as much as 25 kilos of avocados. It processes the avocados one-by-one and delivers them right into a stainless-steel bowl in order that they will simply be taken and made into guacamole.
Based on Chipotle, the Autocado might find yourself decreasing guacamole prep time by 50%, liberating up workers for different duties. With out the Autocado, it presently takes workers about 50 minutes to make a batch of guacamole.
The chain can be presently testing a robotic known as “Chippy” to automate tortilla chip-making.
Picture by way of Chipotle.
