A Robot Makes 300 Pizzas An Hour…And Other Small Business Tech News This Week

Here are five things in technology that happened this past week and how they affect your business. Picnic--a Seattle startup, --announced this past week that it has created an assembly platform that can make 300, 12-inch pizzas per hour (and 180 18-inch pizzas per hour), making this robot a first-of-its-kind. When a pizza is ordered, the order goes into a digital queue, prompting the robot to begin making the pie the moment that the dough is placed in the appropriate spot in the machine. Data is then sent back to Picnic through the internet in order for developers to help the robot to improve upon any errors made. The A.I. driven pizza platform is currently being used at 3 different establishments in Seattle.
