Alfred le robot s\u2019int\u00e8gre au d\u00e9roulement du travail et contribue \u00e0 l\u2019innocuit\u00e9, \u00e0 la constance et \u00e0 bien plus encore<\/h2>\n

Des commandes en ligne aux menus sans contact, ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es ont vu la technologie donner un grand coup de pouce aux restaurants. Bient\u00f4t, les robots pourraient en faire encore bien plus en pr\u00e9parant des repas.<\/p>\n

Voici Alfred<\/a>, un robot \u00e0 long bras capable de s\u2019adapter \u00e0 la plupart des aires de pr\u00e9paration des aliments et de relever les d\u00e9fis qui tourmentent le plus les exploitants : la main-d\u2019\u0153uvre, la constance et l\u2019innocuit\u00e9. Alfred, cr\u00e9\u00e9 par l\u2019entreprise de Boston Dexai Robotics, s\u2019occupe pour l\u2019instant de la production de salades et de la pr\u00e9paration de bols \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle. \u00c0 court terme, le fondateur et directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Dexai, Dave Johnson, envisage pour Alfred de nombreuses autres t\u00e2ches li\u00e9es \u00e0 la gestion du menu. Dexai Robotics<\/a>, handles large-scale salad production and bowl builds for now. Soon, Dexai founder and CEO Dave Johnson envisions many other menu-building tasks.<\/p>\n

Nous lui avons demand\u00e9 d\u2019expliquer comment cet outil pourrait \u00eatre r\u00e9volutionnaire.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 qui Alfred convient-il le mieux aujourd\u2019hui?<\/strong>
\n\u00abDans un premier temps, il sera utilis\u00e9 dans des environnements non commerciaux ou \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle, comme les \u00e9tablissements de soins de sant\u00e9, les caf\u00e9t\u00e9rias, les commissariats, les centres de congr\u00e8s et les services traiteur et de plats \u00e0 emporter\u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9. \u00abCe robot n\u2019est pas destin\u00e9 \u00e0 la haute gastronomie, mais plut\u00f4t \u00e0 des contextes o\u00f9 le volume de production est \u00e9lev\u00e9.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Pourquoi un exploitant se tournerait-il vers la robotique?<\/strong>
\nDave Johnson \u00e9num\u00e8re plusieurs raisons : le besoin de main-d\u2019\u0153uvre, la rapidit\u00e9, la pr\u00e9cision, la constance, le co\u00fbt de revient et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. \u00abNous aidons les exploitants \u00e0 augmenter leur efficacit\u00e9. Ils peuvent charger une table avec des ingr\u00e9dients et laisser le robot assembler 100 salades C\u00e9sar au poulet pr\u00eates \u00e0 emporter. Il n\u2019est plus n\u00e9cessaire d\u2019avoir un employ\u00e9 pour le faire; la machine ne prend pas de pauses ni de vacances\u2026 ce qui permet vraiment de r\u00e9aliser des \u00e9conomies de main-d\u2019\u0153uvre.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Un employ\u00e9 qualifi\u00e9 pourrait \u00eatre en mesure d\u2019assembler une salade plus rapidement, mais Dave Johnson pense que c\u2019est comme la fable du Li\u00e8vre et de la Tortue; les humains peuvent s\u2019ennuyer et faire des erreurs, mais le robot ne se fatigue jamais. Pendant qu\u2019Alfred pr\u00e9pare des salades, votre \u00e9quipe de cuisine qualifi\u00e9e peut se concentrer sur d\u2019autres t\u00e2ches.<\/p>\n

Qu\u2019en est-il de la pr\u00e9cision et de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9?<\/strong>
\nLe robot utilise une cam\u00e9ra et des modules d\u2019apprentissage, de sorte qu\u2019il sait faire la diff\u00e9rence entre le fromage feta et le fromage bleu, la laitue romaine et le chou fris\u00e9, les tomates et les olives, etc. Il s\u00e9lectionne toujours le bon ingr\u00e9dient. Des balances int\u00e9gr\u00e9es portionnent chaque ingr\u00e9dient selon la recette de l\u2019exploitant.<\/p>\n

\u00abQu\u2019il s\u2019agisse d\u2019une salade verte, d\u2019une salade-repas ou d\u2019un pok\u00e9, vous pouvez suivre l\u2019utilisation des ingr\u00e9dients\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Dave Johnson. \u00abComme vous savez exactement ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9 dans les plats, vous pouvez comparer le tout \u00e0 votre inventaire. Vous mesurez ce que vous vendez de fa\u00e7on concr\u00e8te, et vous pouvez ainsi cerner les lacunes comme le gaspillage ou le mauvais parage.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Le robot am\u00e9liore la salubrit\u00e9, car il est incapable d\u2019utiliser le m\u00eame ustensile pour plusieurs ingr\u00e9dients, ce qui r\u00e9duit le risque de contamination crois\u00e9e. Les exploitants re\u00e7oivent \u00e9galement des alertes lorsque des ingr\u00e9dients ont pass\u00e9 trop de temps \u00e0 la temp\u00e9rature ambiante, ce qui facilite le respect des normes d\u2019analyse des risques aux points critiques (HACCP).<\/p>\n

La robotique n\u2019est pas abordable; comment cette solution peut-elle \u00eatre rentable?<\/strong>
\nDave Johnson explique que le mod\u00e8le de contrat de Dexai fonctionne avec un paiement \u00e0 l\u2019utilisation. \u00abLe retour sur investissement est imm\u00e9diat; les exploitants paient un co\u00fbt selon chaque repas pr\u00e9par\u00e9 par le robot. Comme ce co\u00fbt est inf\u00e9rieur au salaire vers\u00e9 \u00e0 un employ\u00e9 pour la m\u00eame t\u00e2che, Alfred est rentable d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but.\u00bb<\/p>\n

L\u2019installation est-elle difficile? Et qu\u2019en est-il de la programmation op\u00e9rationnelle et des r\u00e9parations?<\/strong>
\nAlfred se d\u00e9ploie de sa position f\u0153tale de rangement et est pr\u00eat \u00e0 fonctionner en 15 minutes seulement. Le gestionnaire de la cuisine con\u00e7oit les recettes et les saisit dans un portail Web. Une fois les ingr\u00e9dients plac\u00e9s devant lui, le robot se charge de r\u00e9aliser les recettes.<\/p>\n

\u00abNous sommes propri\u00e9taires de chaque robot, et le contrat pr\u00e9voit un service \u00e0 distance. La plupart des choses peuvent \u00eatre r\u00e9solues par logiciel\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Dave Johnson. \u00abLes bris physiques sont tr\u00e8s rares; les robots sont con\u00e7us pour la fabrication automobile ou \u00e9lectronique et sont donc cens\u00e9s fonctionner pendant 10 ans sans arr\u00eat.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\"Alfred,<\/p>\n

La suite pour Alfred : <\/strong>Dexai d\u00e9veloppe actuellement des robots qui effectueront d\u2019autres t\u00e2ches de cuisine li\u00e9es au gril, au four, aux m\u00e9langeurs et \u00e0 la pr\u00e9paration des boissons.<\/em>
\nQuelles sont les prochaines \u00e9tapes apr\u00e8s les salades et les bols?<\/strong>
\nDexai envisage notamment des versions d\u2019Alfred pouvant s\u2019occuper de grillades, de pizzas, de boissons et de dressage d\u2019assiettes. Dave Johnson travaille actuellement sur un robot capable d\u2019allumer un gril, d\u2019y placer des aliments et de les retourner pendant leur cuisson. Puis, garnir une pizza et assembler les ingr\u00e9dients d\u2019une salade, ce n\u2019est pas si diff\u00e9rent. Enfin, ne soyez pas surpris si votre barista est un jour un robot.<\/p>\n

\u00abNous n\u2019avons pas encore essay\u00e9 de faire des coupes glac\u00e9es ou des bananes royales\u2026 nous devrions le faire, juste pour le plaisir\u00bb, a-t-il plaisant\u00e9. \u00abNous aimons solliciter de nouvelles id\u00e9es. Si les gens r\u00eavent d\u2019une nouvelle t\u00e2che pour Alfred, nous sommes toujours \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9coute.\u00bb<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
