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...
