SmartBake NEXT is a next-generation, AI-driven continuous baking line designed for high-throughput, multi-product bakeries.
It orchestrates dough handling, proofing interfaces, tunnel baking, steam/airflow profiles, and outfeed cooling with autonomous decisioning.
Its reinforcement learning models continuously analyze production data to optimize bake curves, energy use, and product quality—automatically adapting
to new recipes, flour lots, ambient conditions, and market demands.
Key capabilities:
-
Autonomous optimization: Learns from each batch to reduce scrap, stabilize color and moisture,
and cut energy up to 25% via heat-recovery and predictive profile tuning.
-
Rapid recipe onboarding: Import, simulate, and deploy new SKUs in hours with digital twins and
guard-railed constraints for QA.
-
Deep connectivity: Native OPC UA/MQTT/REST APIs for MES/ERP, inline QA cameras, and upstream mixers
and downstream slicers/packers.
-
Hygienic, CIP-ready design: Washdown zones with IP65 enclosures, tool-less change parts, and optional
CleanSteam CIP Module.
-
Safety and traceability: E-stop zoning, eLock maintenance gates, batch genealogy, and audit-ready export.
Typical applications include rolls, buns, artisan loaves, laminated pastries, gluten-free lines, and specialty SKUs.
Variations are available by belt width, oven length, and throughput class to fit plant layouts and capacity targets.
Note: Values shown are for the mid configuration (1000 mm belt, 18 m oven).
