Roasting Plant’s Javabot Combines Engineering and Coffee
|
Did you know Trivia - If Willy Wonka designed a coffee store, he would likely end up with something like the Roasting Plant Coffee Company in New York. Built around a complex machine that takes automated coffee production to a new level, Roasting Plant functions as much like a small factory as a retail coffee shop. Coffee beans travel overhead in pneumatic tubes, whooshing between storage bins, a roasting station, a grinder and a brewing machine.
Willy might not entirely appreciate the degree of automation. A modern distributed control system runs the entire operation, so Oompa Loompas and human baristas need not apply. In fact, other than loading the machine with raw beans and handing over the finished coffee drink, the system requires no manual labor at all.
