Unfiller partners with Apex Motion Control to provide pie bakers the Bakerbot and Decobot for finishing. Today's robots can complete simple tasks like loading and unloading trays and pies, or they can accomplish more complicated ones like custom decorating or writing a message on the top of a pie. This ability makes decorating pies more efficient and consistent and frees up labor for tasks that require more skills. However, robotics require a significant initial investment, one not every bakery may be ready to make. Mr. Nahum recommended handing the simple, repetitive tasks to the robots and leaving more complicated ones to the humans when starting out. " The newest, most advanced robots can even operate safely alongside people and can adapt their motions based on dimensional variations in the products they are decorating, " Mr. Nahum said. The latest technology has opened up a world of product development for pie bakers as they try to reinvigorate their category. Modular equipment designed from the ground up to enable fast changeovers ensures that bakers can get creative without losing out on capacity. Robotics can open up some automated opportunities for finishing pies. Apex Motion Control * For Goodness Sake ™ We specialize in enzyme blends that improve your baked goods.
