From Frying Data to a New UCO Supply Network

Image
  We are building FryData™ — a data-driven frying operation platform . FryData captures and manages three critical elements of frying operations: Temperature · Cooking Time · Oil Condition (TPM) But we believe the opportunity goes beyond frying operations. Our business model is to work with franchise headquarters , providing FryData to headquarters and stores at a low initial cost. In return, we aim to establish a bulk used cooking oil (UCO) collection program across the participating franchise network . This creates a connected model: FryData ↓ Franchise Network ↓ UCO Collection ↓ Traceability If we can connect data such as where the oil was generated, when it was collected, and how it moved through the supply chain , UCO could become more than a commodity. It could become traceable feedstock . And this leads us to an important question for the UCO industry: Can traceable, data-backed UCO create greater economic value than conventional UCO? That value could potentially come throug...

FryData Official Website Is Now Live — A New Approach to Frying Oil Management

Image
  We are excited to announce the launch of the official FryData website: frydata.net . FryData is a smart frying oil monitoring solution developed by Jkors Robotech for the frying and foodservice industry. Frying oil plays an important role in the quality and consistency of fried foods such as chicken, French fries, and other popular foodservice products. Yet in many commercial kitchens, decisions about frying oil replacement are still based heavily on employee experience, visual inspection, or fixed replacement schedules. Questions such as: “Is the oil still good to use?” “Should we replace the oil today?” are often difficult to answer objectively. FryData was developed to help address this challenge. Moving from Experience-Based Frying to Data-Driven Management FryData is designed to monitor frying oil conditions and provide data that can support more consistent oil management. Our goal is not simply to provide another measurement device. We want to make frying oil management ea...

ROKINS Unmanned Chicken Robot Store: From “ROKENS” to ROKINS and Smart Frying Oil Monitoring

Image
  The brand of Jkors Robotech’s unmanned chicken robot store is ROKINS . But we recently had a small and rather funny incident during the store design process. Our designer accidentally printed the brand name as “ROKENS” instead of “ROKINS.” Since the store is still under development and construction, these things happen. For now, we are using AI to correct ROKENS → ROKINS before taking the actual store photos. But there is something else in the photo that is worth taking a closer look at. It is the Frying Oil Status Traffic Light at the entrance. Making Frying Oil Status Easy to Understand Frying oil management is an important part of operating a chicken restaurant. In an unmanned environment, relying only on an employee’s experience or visual judgment is not enough. ROKINS is developing a system that monitors frying oil conditions using data and presents the result through a simple traffic-light system. 🟢 Normal 🟡 Good 🔴 Replacement Soon Instead of requiring operators to in...

ROKINS Basket Loading System — Another Step Toward Automated Frying

Image
  The robot arm handles the frying. The smart refrigerator manages ingredients. But one important question remained: Where does the frying basket go after frying is finished? This turned out to be a much more important problem than we initially expected. The workflow between the robot arm and the smart refrigerator was gradually being organized, but we still needed a reliable way to handle and organize the baskets after frying. This made one thing clear: Automation is not completed by a robot arm alone. The entire process needs to be connected—from ingredient supply, to frying, to post-frying basket handling. That is why we are now manufacturing the ROKINS Basket Loading System . The system is designed to organize the baskets after frying and create a consistent handoff point for the next stage of the robotic workflow. In other words: Ingredient Supply → Frying → Basket Transfer → Basket Loading → Next Process The important part is not simply the basket holder itself. It is the fac...

From Fryer to SAF: Why UCO Traceability Should Start Before the Oil Leaves the Kitchen

Image
 From Fryer to SAF: Why UCO Traceability Should Start Before the Oil Leaves the Kitchen What if Used Cooking Oil could have a digital history before it even becomes waste? Frying oil is constantly changing. Every frying cycle introduces heat, moisture, food particles and other by-products. Oxidation continues at high temperatures, and the condition of the oil changes throughout its working life. Yet in many kitchens, oil quality is still checked periodically. Modern handheld frying-oil testers can measure parameters such as TPM and temperature and digitally document those measurements. But the fundamental workflow still requires someone to go to the fryer and perform the measurement. This creates a simple question: If frying oil changes continuously, why should we only understand it periodically? From Periodic Measurement to Continuous Frying Oil Monitoring This is the idea behind FryData™ . Instead of bringing a measuring device to the oil, we put the sensing capability into the f...

Collaboration with Food Traceability Services: Key Strategies FryData™ Is Preparing and Future Plans

Image
  Hello, this is the Jkors Robotech FryData™ team. The frying process, the final stage of the food supply chain, has long remained a “black box” in the food industry. While raw materials, processing, logistics, and distribution are increasingly tracked through digital systems, there has been very little real-time data available from the actual cooking stage, such as TPM, temperature profiles, and oil change events. FryData™ is an IoT platform designed to fill this gap for the first time through our SSO-2401 oil degradation sensor and smart fryer solutions. With the recent strengthening of food traceability regulations in Korea and abroad, including FSMA 204 (the U.S. FDA Food Traceability Rule, scheduled for enforcement on July 20, 2028 ), many food traceability platforms are seeking to strengthen transformation-stage data covering processing and cooking operations. In response, FryData™ is actively pursuing partnerships with domestic and global food traceability service prov...

Jkors Robotech's FryData™ service with 10 questions

 The frying industry is a massive global market, yet many processes still rely heavily on experience and intuition. From determining oil replacement timing to managing cooking quality and reducing variations across locations, critical decisions are often made based on human judgment rather than data. With increasing pressure from stricter food safety regulations, ESG requirements, and the need for operational efficiency, the frying process has reached a point where traditional, analog approaches are no longer sufficient. A new approach is required—one that goes beyond simple equipment or measurement and enables full process management through data. FryData™ was created in response to this shift. It is a data platform that collects real-time oil condition and cooking process data, and uses it to optimize operations across stores and production facilities. In this article, we will explore how FryData solves key industry challenges and transforms frying operations through 10 key quest...
