Roboarte Supplies Frying Robot to Pohang Forest Association

Food tech robot specialist company Roboarte successfully supplied its frying robot 'ROBERT-E' to Pohang City Forest Cooperative, signaling its entry into the public sector market. This case is expected to be an important milestone announcing Roboarte's expansion into B2G (business-to-government agency) business, as it marks the first step where a local government-affiliated institution directly invested budget to introduce an advanced food tech robot. At the recent 'Advanced Food Tech Device Introduction Commemorative Event' held in front of the Pohang City Forest Cooperative, a live cooking demonstration of ROBERT-E took place, clearly showcasing the efficacy and on-site applicability of automation technology to Pohang City officials and foodservice industry representatives in attendance. Pohang City Forest Cooperative is actively supporting local foodservice businesses in their business transformation and strengthening competitiveness through this robot, and expects a 'triple benefit' effect of promoting the consumption of local agricultural and livestock products, and improving hygiene and cooking speed through cooking automation. Kang Ji-young, CEO of Roboarte, emphasized that this supply is an exemplary case of building a practical commercialization model with a local government, and expressed her ambition to play a key role in creating a domestic food tech industry ecosystem by providing customized automation solutions to government and local authorities in the future. Roboarte, which has been developing solutions optimized for various environments based on its proprietary operating system 'ROBERT OS', plans to further expand its food tech partnerships in the public sector and global markets, using this B2G success as a stepping stone. Meanwhile, Pohang City is promoting the 'Food Tech Industry Ecosystem Creation Project' and, in connection with Gyeongsangbuk-do's projects, is leading innovation in the foodservice industry based on advanced technology through kitchen automation, digital transformation, and on-site customized demonstrations.
