HOBART UNVEILS AI-POWERED FLOW LINE FOR COMMERCIAL KITCHENS
HOBART has launched its new FLOW Line, an advanced warewashing solution designed to streamline kitchen operations with the help of AI and smart automation. At the core of the FLOW Line is SMART VISION CONTROL, which identifies items on the conveyor and automatically adjusts wash and rinse settings. Another key feature, ASR2 automatic soil removal, adapts cleaning cycles based on the level of soiling detected— improving efficiency, safety and resource use.
HOBART’ s FLOW Line was awarded the INTERNORGA Future Award in the " Technology & Equipment " category at Hamburg’ s INTERNOGA trade show. " We are proud of our latest innovation, and we are particularly pleased that the FLOW Line has already received such a prestigious award right upon its product launch. It seems as if the market has been waiting for AI to enter the dishwashing area," says Manfred Kohler, General Manager Warewash & Production.
