In recent years, the food service industry has been unable to hire enough personnel to meet demands of their customers. TechMagic seeks to utilize new technology to provide solutions to this sector, cutting the largest costs such companies face: labor and ingredient costs.
The Cooking Robot automates part of the processes in the kitchen in order to reduce labor costs. For ingredient costs, the AI Automation Robot automates simple cooking-related tasks in the central kitchen.
Currently, we are building a Cooking Robot together with a major restaurant chain in Japan. We will launch this product in 2020.
We are developing a robot that uses image recognition to automate certain processes that typically occur in a factory setting. We seek to launch this product in 2019.
By automating ordering, payment, and a multitude of other tasks, TechMagic seeks to solve the labor problem not only by reducing hours on a task, but by freeing up staff entirely to do other things.
We are developing compact robots that will fit even in small spaces in inner-city locations.
