candy production manufacturing the world's most popular confectionery products is often a fully automated process the reason for this is the enormous demand to satisfy this demand people build factories with large industrial capacity that could not exist without specialized equipment this Skittles factory uses a wide variety of machines each has its own function as you can see there are almost no people involved in the manufacturing processes they are only needed at the loading stage when the product is packed in boxes and sent to the conveyor belts at the warehouse however at some factories this procedure is also performed by machines the candies made of sugar fruit juice citric acid and artificial flavors are covered with layers of glaze each batch is dyed in a separate color and then they're mixed to fill the package with a candy rainbow cake decoration humankind has been making cakes and similar products for a very long time traditionally they were made by hand the decoration was considered to be a complicated process which required skill precision and ingenuity today everything has changed at the factory automated equipment performs a full cycle of cake preparation from mixing the dough to of course decorating the product this is cake finishing center a piece of equipment developed by specialists of the Canadian company UNIFEM Systems Inc amazingly it can decorate up to seven cakes per minute at the same time the quality is not affected by the high speed because all the mechanisms of the machine are adjusted perfectly interestingly this model is capable of performing a variety of functions for example it can spread buttercream between two pieces of cake the machine determines the correct dosage of the cream itself it covers the entire surface of the cake with an even layer of glaze in literally one second and of course it is equipped with a variety of icing nozzles for decorative purposes the possibilities are limitless it is possible to even decorate a pie bread production it may seem surprising but before putting a piece of dough in the oven to make a loaf of bread you have to do a lot of work of course modern engineer's have managed to develop equipment that also mates every stage of baking it all starts with a special mixture of yeast and flour when you add more flour malt sugar and other important ingredients to it you finally get the dough but you can't put it in the oven yet once the dough has been processed in the mixer it is transferred to a long conveyor belt here mechanized rollers roll it out gradually making the dough layer thinner until the thickness reaches the required standard the special discs then cut the dough into identical strips excess dough on the sides is removed it will then be mixed with the dough that has yet to be rolled out then the dough strips are cut again to obtain identical rectangles then another piece of equipment rolls them into rounded pieces they will then go into the oven the video shows an artisan a baking line equipped with a Rondo bot module in 2018 the system even won an honorary Award as the best innovation of the year pasta production here is another piece of equipment that also greatly simplifies and speeds up the food production in this case it is a pasta maker it's developed by the Italian company sermon the model shown in the video is the orchestra's head according to the manufacturer it is designed for use in small facilities as well as large restaurants and diners the design of the device is quite simple the container is filled with semolina it says the coarse purified wheat middlings of durum wheat white flour and eggs are also added all these ingredients are thoroughly mixed for about 12 minutes the perfect pasta dough should be soft and grainy then the extruding process begins the dough is first squeezed out without attachments to fill the entire space inside the extruder then the worker chooses one of the many different nozzles determining the shape of the future pasta the machine you see on the screen can be used to make for example long length pasta like tagliolini or spaghetti interestingly the worker rips off each batch of pasta manually to cut short pasta like cannelloni a special knife is used note that the machine can be equipped with an automatic pasta custom device in this case the work becomes even easier with it you can make macaroni in knockety Sardi the blade has to be changed though if you want to make penne mushroom picking nowadays technology allows even to pick mushrooms with little or no human involvement which is undoubtedly a huge process after all a few decades ago mushrooming was a difficult long and exhausting task the Dutch company Vanden top mushroom equipment manufactures this harvesting equipment according to its representatives it's not just a machine that facilitates collection and packaging it's a fundamentally new unique method that allows you to pick mushrooms as neatly as possible without damaging them in the process the work is carried out in huge greenhouses champignons are grown here using a special Dutch shelf technology mushrooms are not able to produce chlorophyll on their own so they are grown in a specially prepared organic environment compost when the mushrooms are ready to be harvested a special cutter passes through each shelf it cuts the mushrooms right at the roots and then transports them to the conveyor belt the mushrooms move along its to the packing workshop where they are placed in plastic containers and are sent for washing afterwards a worker sorts the mushrooms manually if the mushrooms are damaged they will be disposed of and if they're too large they will be cut the machine then finally cuts the mushrooms and places them into small plastic containers from here they go straight to the store some mushrooms are also harvested without being washed after packing they are immediately sent to the shop to storage rooms or somewhere else robotic restaurant last May it was reported the students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chef Daniel Boulud opened the world's first fully robotic restaurant it was named spice and any person at Boston can visit the place its kitchen is literally full of robotic equipment you are seeing seven self-contained units capable of preparing tasty and healthy food when ordering the client chooses the desired ingredients on a special screen after that all the selected products get into one of the drum-like walks where the cooking process begins the workers only have to prepare the products ie to slice the vegetables and meat chefs also carefully add side dishes to the cooked food in this kitchen and magnetic induction is used to heat the food eh machine as temperature control the wok is constantly spinning so the food won't burn the robots also learned how to clean themselves on their own between different dishes the kitchen was specially made open so that visitors could see the miracle of robotics with their own eyes it is said that it's the work of robots that allows for reasonable prices because there are almost no paid employees in this restaurant
