By purchasing a BreadBot outright, you lower your total cost of ownership over 5 years by over 10% and have a $33 per day fee, less than 2 hours of labor in most markets.
The Hardware as a Service (“HaaS”) model offers flexibility in a low cost of entry. For a mere $100 per day, equivalent to 4-5 hours of labor in most markets, you can produce over 100 loaves of bread with limited staff resources.
How it works
Features and Specs
Size & Production
130" x 48"
The BreadBot footprint is efficient for automated production and can potentially be reduced depending on the need for the cooling cabinet. Since it’s a robot, it doesn’t even need lights!
Up to 10 Loaves an Hour
With a throughput time of 96 minutes and a cycle time of 10 loaves per hour, daily capacity exceeds 200 loaves. For most bakeries, this should perfectly match pan bread production. If not, you can always run 2 Bots!
Stop & Start
Autostart & Stop
Because of the autostart option, you can schedule the BreadBot to start baking at any hour. This allows for a head start — if necessary — to meet daily production demands.
Smart Production
The BreadBot is constantly adjusting production throughout the day to achieve the optimal bread inventory. Smart production determines exactly how many loaves of each variety are needed in any given moment and immediately adds them to the queue.
Employee Friendly
No Babysitting Required
The BreadBot will ask for help throughout the day when necessary. It might request: "Please empty the cabinet of bread", "Please add more mix", or "Finished baking today". This communication allows store staff to focus on their other tasks and only tend to the BreadBot when truly necessary.
Self Cleaning
After baking for the day, the BreadBot will immediately start its auto-cleaning cycle to clean out the mixing pot. After that’s finished a bakery employee will finish cleaning by wiping down surfaces and refilling ingredients for the next day.
Fully Automated
Consistent Loaves
All measurements are unique by recipe and constantly monitored by the system. From the water temperature and mixer speed, to the proofer humidity and loaf height, sensors are tracking over 40 unique metrics on each loaf produced.
Dry Mix to Baked Loaf
Once dry mix is added to the hopper the process is fully automated. The BreadBot sends a message to an employee when the more ingredients are needed or loaves need to be emptied from the cooling cabinet.
Monitoring & Support
Visual Display
Each BreadBot has a touchscreen with a visual display that enables bakery staff to monitor every aspect of the BreadBot. Employees can monitor important baking functions such as ingredient levels, oven temperature, loaf age, and overall BreadBot status.
Support
Each store has direct access to the Wilkinson Baking monitoring and support team for any issues that may arise. If an issue requires an onsite visit from a technician, Wilkinson Baking will dispatch, support and manage that visit.
