      With the great support of Dongguan Municipal Government, the design of central kitchen Machong was initiated in February 2020. It is expected to be put into use in this December, becoming a traditional food processing factory that has the shortest time duration between the date of construction and the date of production in Dongguan.  

      Currently, with automatic production line, multiple types of catering robotics have entered the mass production stage. In addition, with the investment and construction of the central kitchen project in Machong, the popularity of catering robots and robot restaurants will be rapidly improved in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (the Greater Bay Area).
