① 20th March 2024
We (FingerVision Inc.) have signed a joint development agreement with Yoshinoya Co. Ltd. to utilize robots to streamline and reduce labor in the dishwashing process. At Yoshinoya's 1,200 stores, employees manually soak dirty dishes, remove them individually, place them on washing machine racks, and then use dishwashers to clean them. We aim to automate this process using robots to efficiently handle various types of dirty dishes, reducing the time and effort involved. Through our robotic system implementation at the JR Kanda Station (Tokyo) store during peak hours (11 AM to 2 PM), we have successfully reduced the time for dish racking from 523 seconds to 289 seconds, resulting in a 101.7% increase in human-hour productivity.
