RoboBar

Get a glimpse of the future of food service operations with the Robobar. Robots that can tap beer like a skilled bartender, serve lemonades, coffee, alcoholic and mixed drinks. All you have to do is enter your request via the ordering tablet and remember your order number.

In addition to the two collaborative robots, the Robobar in Testbed for Industry 4.0 also uses the functions of other devices, including a liquor conveyor, fruit feeders, an ice feeder, and more. It’s all connected via a common industrial communication platform. 

The entire site uses industrial components to provide a stable platform for software implementation and covers many advanced technologies. HP Multijet Fusion 3D printing technology produced a unique conveyor, grippers, and a safety rubber gripper cover on the robots. The visualization of the ordering system uses the latest technology from PLC manufacturer Siemens to enable a faster and more efficient development process. When an order is placed, the customer is assigned an order number displayed on the TV above the robot. This workstation pushes the boundaries in collaborative robotics in food service operations.
