The sight of autonomous models, or models that follow specific routes, constantly moving back and forth between the kitchen and the guests' tables is now commonplace, and more and more restaurants are turning to robotic solutions. So why PLATO?
Often the daily use fails because of small things: the floor covering causes problems for the robot, the payload is not high enough, the orientation could be better, or the communication with the model is (too) limited. This is exactly where PLATO shows its best side and masters all challenges brilliantly. Tailored to human interaction and developed to be particularly efficient in a narrow use case, service models like PLATO convince even previously skeptical restaurant owners.
The feared high investment, difficulties in use or even in control do not arise and thus robots become more and more a valued part of the workforce, ready to perform the strenuous, repetitive and unpleasant tasks in the best possible way.
Not to be forgotten. The ubiquitous shortage of skilled workers is hitting the hospitality industry particularly hard. Many entrepreneurs have difficulty finding suitable personnel and offering lasting prospects. Robotic systems are the solution for such bottlenecks, scalable in number and variety of tasks and, we are sure, in a few years absolute normality.
