This approach shows an algorithm to optimize the
processing order in a totally automated kitchen environment
to create a job plan in order to save resources and taking into
account various constraints. Concerning the topic of waste
reduction the prevention of waste from overproduction by
producing individual ordered meals and the consequent waste
of energy plays an essential role. For demonstration purposes
two steamers, a prototypically implemented portioning
machine as well as a transport system based on autonomous
robots were implemented. The plant allows the support of a
commercial kitchen with full automation capabilities in the
food preparation process as well as a planning platform for
individual quality issues of any customer.
