Will tech trump tradition at bakers and biscuit makers?
At Tunnock's factory near Glasgow, a delicate balance is maintained between tradition and technology in biscuit production. While most of the factory is automated, certain tasks - like caramel spreading - still require skilled human workers. Similarly, at The Bread Factory in London, the art of bread making relies on human hands for precision and flexibility in the production process. Introducing new technology, like the robot arm designed to decorate cakes, aims to bridge the gap between efficiency and tradition in the baking industry.
