JSL Solution Pte Ltd has developed a machine for cracking half-cooked eggs. The machine can crack and distribute the eggs at the touch of a button, thereby ensuring the freshness of the eggs. The egg is automatically conveyed from a tray to the cooking plate and separated. The empty egg shells are then transported to a separate compartment. The maintenance-free and lubrication-free components are suitable for food applications with the highest hygiene requirements. The modular design of the automation solution means that it can be combined with fried egg and scrambler appliances in the future.
The problem
Due to the restrictions on the quota for foreign workers in the service sector, there are bottlenecks in Singapore, particularly in the catering industry. Long waiting times in restaurants and hotels are not uncommon. In addition, stricter hygiene measures are being implemented due to the Covid-19 virus. Food waste is also an important cost factor that should be taken into account. Automated processes in the kitchen, which also control stock levels and improve the quality of the food, could provide a remedy. However, robotic systems are often too expensive for the food and beverage retail sector.
The solution:
JSL Solution's project for serving half-cooked eggs is intended to free up labour for tasks with more added value and optimise customer service. Employees will have more time to serve customers and will no longer have to fiddle around with preparation, create waste, monitor temperatures and times and keep customers waiting. The use of kitchen automation also improves food safety, hygiene and storage. Quality control data is recorded on a daily basis. The lean type enables the optimal utilisation of working space in shops. This modular automation solution for the kitchen and catering sector increases daily productivity, reduces operating costs through less waste and increases turnover for the company.
