Project details<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nThe Challenge<\/h2><\/div>Fine pastries. High expectations. Limited resources.<\/h3><\/div>The goal was to automate the filling and decorating of small pastries with cream or fillings \u2013 directly on the baking tray. A task that consumes many hours each day and requires consistent precision.<\/p>\n
As production volumes grow, this repetitive process quickly becomes a bottleneck.<\/p>\n
The technical challenges were clear: pastries rarely lie perfectly aligned on the trays. Shape, spacing and position vary. To ensure accurate finishing, the system must first read each tray reliably<\/strong> before any filling is applied.<\/p>\nAt the same time, strict hygiene standards apply in bakery production. The system comes into direct contact with cream and fillings and must therefore be easily accessible, simple to clean and suitable for continuous multi-shift operation.<\/p>\n
Timing is another key factor. The dosing and filling equipment provided by Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s had to be integrated precisely. If movement and dosing are not perfectly synchronized, the result becomes immediately visible.<\/p>\n
Finally, quality issues must be detected immediately. After finishing, defective products must be identified and removed automatically before entering the next production step.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Filling and decorating small pastries with cream or fillings is craftsmanship \u2013 and at the same time a major challenge in everyday production. It requires experience, precision and a steady hand to ensure that every product is finished evenly \u2013 tray after tray, shift after shift.<\/p>\n
Quality can vary depending on staff experience or daily workload. And as production volumes increase, manual finishing quickly becomes a bottleneck.<\/p>\n
At Sch\u00e4fer’s Backwaren GmbH in Berlin, robomotion automates exactly this step. The result: consistent quality across every batch. Schneeb\u00e4lle, cream puffs and \u00e9clairs are finished with the same precision every time.<\/p>\n
To achieve this, robomotion developed a solution that seamlessly combines machine vision, dosing technology and quality inspection<\/strong> \u2013 scalable for both medium-sized bakery chains and large industrial bakeries.<\/p>\n<\/div> Bakery industry \/ fine bakery products<\/p>\n<\/div> Sch\u00e4fer’s Backwaren GmbH<\/p>\n<\/div> The robomotion solution combines quality assurance and automation in a single continuous process. For us, the key factor was flexibility \u2013 the system can easily adapt to different products.<\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/i> Dr. Knut K\u00f6hler, Managing Director, Sch\u00e4fer\u00b4s Produktionsgesellschaft mbH<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n The goal was to automate the filling and decorating of small pastries with cream or fillings \u2013 directly on the baking tray. A task that consumes many hours each day and requires consistent precision.<\/p>\n As production volumes grow, this repetitive process quickly becomes a bottleneck.<\/p>\n The technical challenges were clear: pastries rarely lie perfectly aligned on the trays. Shape, spacing and position vary. To ensure accurate finishing, the system must first read each tray reliably<\/strong> before any filling is applied.<\/p>\n At the same time, strict hygiene standards apply in bakery production. The system comes into direct contact with cream and fillings and must therefore be easily accessible, simple to clean and suitable for continuous multi-shift operation.<\/p>\n Timing is another key factor. The dosing and filling equipment provided by Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s had to be integrated precisely. If movement and dosing are not perfectly synchronized, the result becomes immediately visible.<\/p>\n Finally, quality issues must be detected immediately. After finishing, defective products must be identified and removed automatically before entering the next production step.<\/p>\n<\/div> robomotion automated one of the most time-critical steps in Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s bakery production: precise filling and finishing of pastries with cream or fillings.

The Challenge<\/h2><\/div>
Fine pastries. High expectations. Limited resources.<\/h3><\/div>
The Solution<\/h2><\/div>
See. Dose. Inspect.
\nA clean and reproducible process \u2013 technically and hygienically.<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
\nThe system uses two ABB IRB 360 Delta robots<\/strong> with camera-guided positioning. The dosing and filling technology itself was provided by Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s and integrated by robomotion into the automated process.<\/p>\n
\nA camera detects the exact position of each pastry on the incoming trays. Based on this information, the robot movements are calculated precisely \u2013 even when products are positioned differently.<\/p>\n
\nThe start and stop of the customer-supplied dosing and filling system are triggered individually for each product and synchronized precisely with the robot motion.
\n\u2022 Schneeb\u00e4lle are filled using a needle
\n\u2022 Cream puffs and \u00e9clairs are finished from the bottom side
\n\u2022 For \u00e9clairs, the robot moves along a defined path during dosing to ensure even filling<\/p>\n
\nAfter finishing, a second camera inspects each tray. Deviations are detected automatically and faulty trays are removed before entering the next production stage.
\nCurrently, trays are manually loaded and unloaded. However, a fully automated unloading system from rack trolleys (Stikkenwagens) and automatic return of finished trays is already planned.<\/p>\n
\nThe system is designed for easy accessibility and regular wet cleaning \u2013 food-safe, hygienic and compliant with audit requirements.<\/p>\n
\nThe base machine is designed as a flexible platform. Thanks to tray-based product supply and the adaptable robot technology, additional processes can also be implemented \u2013 such as dosing, filling, decorating, depositing, topping, marking or handling and quality control tasks.<\/p>\n

\nHow can cream finishing become predictable?
\nrobomotion automates the filling and decoration of pastries at Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s by combining machine vision, robotics and the customer\u2019s dosing technology in one coordinated process \u2013 ensuring consistent results, tray after tray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":9151,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[45,47],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9228","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-all-references","portfolio_category-food"],"yoast_head":"\n
