Project Background

Rising Labor Costs & Production Instability

The food manufacturing industry faces steadily increasing labor costs and difficulties in recruitment, making automation an essential choice. International food companies need to address production instability caused by high turnover in highly repetitive and strenuous positions.

Bottlenecks of Traditional Production Models

The process of retrieving trays, transporting, sorting, and loading buns after steaming required 7 workers cooperating, limiting production efficiency. The hot and humid workshop environment impacts operators' endurance, restricting capacity increases.

Pain Points Analysis

High Reliance on Labor & Cost Control Challenges

A single production line required 7 operators. With two shifts, 14 people were needed, resulting in high direct labor and management costs. Difficulties in recruiting for repetitive tasks, high training costs, and staff turnover affecting production continuity.

Product Quality & Food Safety Risks

Multiple handlers increase the risk of microbial contamination and foreign object introduction. Manual sorting easily causes damage to the bun's appearance, leading to lower product qualification rates.

Work Environment & Capacity Limitations

High-intensity manual operation in a hot, humid environment leads to rapid worker fatigue. Manual operation speed has a natural limit, making sustained capacity increases difficult.
