White Paper: Transformative Technologies in the Food Services Industry
The drive to optimize the ingredient-to-table process and the customer experience in the food services industry is creating increased demand for transformative technologies. Specific focus areas include decreasing customer wait times, accommodating web-based delivery services, improving the dine-in experience, and increasing overall kitchen efficiency.
In this white paper, geared toward engineering managers and design engineers building products for the food services industry, we will explore major challenges and the transformative technologies addressing focus areas such as operator enhancing interfaces, cloud and mesh connected devices, and enhanced controls such as e-AI (embedded Artificial Intelligence).
Summary:
- Challenges facing the food services industry: Customer experience, safety and liability, and throughput and efficiency
- Three major transformative technologies that tackle challenges in the food services industry: Human Machin Interface (HMI), communications interfaces, input sensors and output controls
- Three levels of technology integration: Modules – Serious Integrated, Silicon and tools: Renesas RZ MPUs, Silicon and software: Renesas Synergy™ Platform MCUs
- Choosing the right Renesas processor for HMI
