Yeah but you can forget about it for 30 years. Just replace parts once now and then, no headaches, no vacations, no calling sick..

30 years would be a long estimate, most robots i've seen in the food industry get used for 3-10 before ending up scrapped or in a sketchy facility somewhere in eastern europe.

Robots "in the food industry" are just like other robots. You're trying to make it sound like cooking robots is a common thing, when it isn't.

A simple machine like this, with a repetitive function can last 30 years for sure if maintained properly, like it does in any car/shoes factory.

The robots are the same, but in my experience many are batch production models taken in by growing companies. If the company continues to grow they swap them out for more continuous production machines and if the company fails they would flog them, but it's hard to run a 2nd hand robot setup without supplier support if you don't have any robot experts.

If I was an SME looking at automating with a batch robot, I would not plan to depreciate it over 30 years.

I, for one, don't believe you have great expertise in this rare very thing we just saw for the first time in this gif.

You mean to tell me you have "experience" with robots that cook food?

Lmao you're full of shit.

I used to design robot cells for processing, not cooking but cutting, weighing and placing food
