welcome! "In the hotel, the intelligent robot "wittedly" said Mengmeng's welcome words to the guests; "The dishes are here!" "In the restaurant and the kitchen, the food delivery robot with blue light shining above its head quickly and accurately delivers hot soup and hot dishes to the guests; in the kitchen, the operator presses the start button, and the cooking robot immediately gets busy and completes it on time and according to the quantity. Standard action...
I believe that many people have encountered the scene just now. Nowadays, catering robots can be seen everywhere in our lives.
Of course, in addition to food delivery robots, the categories of food service robots are increasing day by day. Cooking robots, cooking robots, and welcome robots are gradually joining the ranks of food service robots, making the overall product line more abundant. Nowadays, in addition to liberating manpower to a certain extent, robots can also greatly reduce the error rate of the front office and the back kitchen, as well as the food safety risks in the business process, especially during the epidemic, which gave birth to "contactless delivery" delivery. meal mode. Such multi-functional applications gradually make catering robots lose the label of "vase" and are favored by more catering companies.
Catering robots help epidemic prevention and control✦
No, just during the epidemic, the "non-contact delivery leader" - the catering robot "Runbao" contributed its own strength, invested in the front line of "epidemic prevention", and demonstrated "housekeeping skills" with efficient action, "Runbao" Excellent performance has become a typical benchmark in epidemic prevention and control.
Previously, many medical staff, quarantine personnel and other epidemic prevention workers were limited by conditions, and it may be difficult to eat a hot meal. Now, with the help of catering robots, meals can be quickly prepared and stored in the holding cabinet. Even if the medical staff delays taking the food, the food will not become cold, and it only takes 15 seconds to get the hot food from the holding cabinet. Flavorful meals.
In order to make the process of ordering and picking up meals faster and safer, the software systems of these catering robots have also been rewritten to simplify the scan code options, and only provide two options of "meal making" and "meal pickup". In this way, on the one hand, diners can quickly solve the process of ordering and picking up meals, and at the same time, various possible actual contacts are avoided to the greatest extent, and the possibility of cross-infection is reduced.
Catering robot industry ushered in the tuyere? ✦
According to relevant data analysis, the market size of food delivery robots in China in 2017 was only 20 million yuan, and in 2019, it has reached 220 million yuan. At the same time, the industry will usher in a peak growth period in 2020, and the market size is expected to be close to 15 billion yuan in 2025. By then, the proportion of catering robots in service robots will increase to about 10%, becoming a new support for industrial development.
In recent years, with the development of the robot industry in full swing, the traditional catering industry has gradually revived the "second spring". The "unmanned catering" and "smart catering" brought about by "machine substitution" not only freed the industry from the dilemma of high labor costs, low work efficiency, and low profit returns, but also made catering robots popular among industry enterprises. More and more people's attention and favor.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Vigorously develop the robot industry✦
However, although the robot industry has promising prospects, it still needs to make up for the shortcomings and advance in an orderly manner. Especially in terms of environmental adaptability, user experience and aesthetic appearance, catering robots need to be further improved to meet the needs of market development.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a press conference and stated that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's robot industry has shown a good momentum of development. On the one hand, scale, technology and products have achieved breakthroughs. In terms of scale, from 2016 to 2020, the scale of my country's robot industry has grown rapidly, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 15%, of which the output of industrial robots has increased from 72,000 sets to 212,000 sets, with an average annual growth of 31%;
On the other hand, the application level has been greatly improved. my country has been the world's largest consumer of industrial robots for eight consecutive years. In 2020, the density of manufacturing robots will reach 246 units per 10,000 people, nearly twice the global average.
In order to achieve the development goals of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that, first, we must focus on consolidating the industrial foundation, strengthen the key core technology research of robots, make up for the shortcomings of special materials, core components, processing technology, etc., and strengthen the construction of the standard system. Improve testing and certification capabilities;
The second is to focus on enhancing product supply, meet the needs of key industries, gather advantageous resources, promote the research and development of high-end robot products, expand the series and types of robot products, and improve performance, quality and safety;
The third is to focus on expanding market applications, implement the "robot +" application action, organize the precise connection of production and demand, promote the development of typical application scenarios of robots, and accelerate the promotion of industrial, service and special robots;
The fourth is to focus on optimizing the industrial ecology, support the collaborative innovation of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the robotics industry chain, integrate the development of large and medium-sized enterprises, deepen international exchanges and cooperation, and accelerate the cultivation of advantageous and characteristic industrial clusters.
