AI evolution
Six-axis vision-guided robot arms using depth cameras and weight-sensing tray platforms scoop and portion ingredients to consistent amounts on meal-assembly lines, doing the repetitive scooping, portioning and plating that workers do by hand, with over twenty million meals assembled to date.

AI-assisted inventory forecasting and reordering
AI evolution
A demand-forecasting AI models probability distributions for demand, inventory and perishability on every item, auto-submits high-confidence orders, and flags low or low-confidence stock for human review, replacing the by-eye judgment of when to reorder fresh product.
