Robot Pizza Company Zume Can Create 372 Pizzas Per Hour Using ‘Dough Bots’ And Deliver It In 4 Minutes

Silicon Valley start-up Zume Pizza has nearly fully automated the process of making fresh, made-to-order pizza by using robots and AI.

A great pizza dough flipper probably can’t turn out one perfectly shaped pizza dough every nine seconds, but California company’s robotic pizza dough press can make a great pie at that whiplash-inducing rate.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: We live in an age that is advancing so fast technologically that we have kinda stopped paying attention to all the changes. After hundred of billions of dollars spent by Amazon, Google and others to advance robot technology, like it or not, we are about to share this planet and our daily lives with bots of all kinds. Siri from Apple got the ball rolling with getting humans to address a machine as a person, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana have followed suit. Tesla has been quietly waging revolution with the self-driving car, followed by every other auto manufacturer on Earth. In short, robots have arrived to help us, and soon they will be in charge.

Silicon Valley start-up Zume Pizza has nearly fully automated the process of making fresh, made-to-order pizza — and it’s streamlined the delivery process, too. If you live in Mountain View, Calif., and you order a pizza, it could be at your door as quickly as four minutes later.

While other pizzas — especially the bake-at-home kind you buy at the grocery store — are also made by machine, Zume is noteworthy because it makes fresh, customizable delivery pizza with high-quality ingredients, which it considers to be artisanal even though it is not made by hand. Zume co-founder Julia Collins already has Pepe and Giorgio, two robots, squirting pizza sauce onto the dough, and Marta, another robot, spreading the sauce. Bruno, a robotic arm, lifts the pizza into the oven. The dough is still made by humans. But now that Zume has the doughbot, as they’re calling it, it means that the only part of the pizza assembly process that requires a human touch is the toppings.

Zume delivers made-to-order pizza with robots:

Human beings are great at that step,” Collins said. “When we think of the end-of-arm tools that we would need to pick up a cherry tomato and then a nugget of sausage, it’s hard to find tools that manage that much variety. We don’t have any intention of limiting variety to serve the robots.”

With this technological upgrade, the company can now make and deliver 372 pizzas an hour.

That efficiency comes from dramatically reimagining the way pizza can be delivered. Zume is the first company to reduce “dwell time” — a.k.a the 20 minutes your piping-hot pizza spends sliding around in the back of a Honda Accord. They have custom delivery trucks that can bake en route, so pizza will arrive fresh out of the oven. Through analyzing their customer data and using artificial intelligence, they’re also able to predict which pizzas will be popular in certain neighborhoods during certain times, so the truck can be preloaded and ready to serve.

“We’ve already guessed that you’ve wanted asparagus and ricotta pizza at 12:30,” Collins said.

Zume is now adding scooters to its delivery fleet, which will use the baking trucks as a hub. If someone wants a pizza that isn’t in the truck’s preloaded orders, it can take up to 45 minutes from when the order is placed to when the pizza arrives at your door. But if you order a basic pepperoni pizza and the truck is already circling your neighborhood, it could be at your door as quickly as four minutes later.

The food delivery industry is growing rapidly: Consulting firm McKinsey expects that the market for new delivery will reach more than 20 billion euros — $22.7 billion — by 2025. Other tech companies are working on transforming delivery, as well: Starship Technologies, an Estonian company, is using D.C. sidewalks for its robot delivery pilot program. The rolling robots — they’re almost cute, like WALL-E — deliver food for Postmates, and eventually, the company hopes they will be able to make other courier deliveries for $1 a trip.

For now, Zume Pizza is only available in Silicon Valley.

Collins says the company will expand up to Menlo Park, and down to San Jose, before moving to other cities. They also are considering eventually leasing space in their trucks to other food companies that also want to bake en route. Susan Alban, a former general manager of UberEats, has joined the company to work on its expansion. source

Chaplain At The Highly Controversial California City ICE Immigration Detention Facility Tells Us Requests For Spanish Bibles Have Become ‘Overwhelming’

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The controversial California City ICE Immigration Detention Facility needs King James Bibles in Spanish due to ‘overwhelming’ requests from inmates

The California City Detention Facility in Kern County is set to become the largest immigration detention center in the state, with a capacity of 2,560 beds. It’s part of the Trump administration’s push for a massive expansion of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention nationally. Now we hear they need God’s preserved word in Spanish, and are overwhelmed with requests for it. Chaplain Ron wrote to say “since the time i started here in September requests for Spanish bibles have been overwhelmingly great. I am requesting as many as we can obtain, thank you!” That’s our cue.

“And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah 7:10 (KJB)

One of the most controversial government agencies is ICE, Immigrant Customs Enforcement, and rightly so when you consider the careless manner in which the now-deposed former DHS head Kristi Noem ran that agency. As an American, I agree that illegal immigration is a serious problem, and people here illegally need to either get legal or go. But as a Christian who very much wants to see lost people get saved, the opportunity to get Bibles into a high-level ICE detention center is a rare and exciting opportunity. We’ve done it before in Texas, and now the opportunity to do the same in California stands before us. Throw your politics out the window, Christian, the Lord is giving us an end times harvest, and I would love to see a minimum of 500 King James Bibles in Spanish, the RVG, be sent out as soon as possible. But we can only do it with your help. Sending out 500 Bibles is $2,275.00 and 1,000 Bibles $4,550.00. Come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Jared Kushner Becomes The Most Powerful Man In The Middle East As He’s Now Tasked With Bringing Peace To Iran War

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

From Abraham Accords To Gaza Peace Board To Iran War: Is Jared Kushner Quietly Assembling A Regional Covenant?

Jared Kushner has already laid the groundwork in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, proving he can do what few others have done—bring Arab nations and Israel into agreement. Then he was given billions of dollars from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to start his wealth management fund, Affinity Partners. Next  he was appointed as the ‘Special Envoy of Peace’ that has taken control of the ruins formally known as Gaza. Now, President Trump has tasked Kushner with implementing his 15 Point Peace Plan to end the war in Iran.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, now here’s the part most people ignore, but NTEB doesn’t. Kushner is not just a diplomat—he is backed by billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia and Gulf state sovereign wealth funds. Let that sink in. The very nations that must be part of any Middle East peace agreement are also financially tied to the man brokering deals in that same region. That is not coincidence. That is alignment of money, influence, and geopolitical power. In one man, Jared Kushner, you now have a man with access to Israel, a man accepted by Arab nations, and a man connected to massive financial backing That is a trifecta you almost never see in one individual. No, we are not declaring Jared Kushner to be the biblical Antichrist. But if you’re looking for the type of man the Bible describes, you’re looking for someone who checks boxes exactly like these. And for the first time in a long time…you can actually see what that might look like. Today we venture into the belly of the Beast and show you everything that the Central Casting Antichrist Jared Kushner has been up to.

As Iran Tensions Explode, USS Tripoli Strike Group With A Full Marine Expeditionary Unit Arriving To Reinforce 50,000 U.S. Troops Already Deployed In Region

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Strait Of Hormuz Becomes Flashpoint As USS Tripoli And Combat Marines Enter Region Backed By Tens Of Thousands Of U.S. Forces

The USS Tripoli is not a symbol. It is not a diplomatic gesture. It is a fully operational, forward-deployed invasion platform. A Marine Expeditionary Unit is specifically designed for one thing: to hit fast, hit hard, and establish a foothold before the enemy can react. On Friday it will arrive to reopen the Strait of Hormuz replete with 2,200 US Marines who will be joining the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit of 2,500 Marines that’s due to arrive mid-April. And you think this war is winding down? Guess again.

“Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.” Joshua 11:18 (KJB)

The Strait of Hormuz is the economic jugular vein of the planet, where a massive portion of the world’s oil supply flows every single day. Whoever controls that chokepoint holds leverage over global markets, economies, and stability itself. Right now, Iran has their fingers on the controls, something that President Donald Trump would love dearly to see come to a sooner rather than later end. The USS Tripoli is not just a ship, it is a floating strike platform, a fully armed and operational war machine positioned at sea. On board are F-35B stealth fighter jets, MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, attack and transport helicopters, and ground combat Marines trained and ready for amphibious assault. This is not a slow, piecemeal military buildup taking shape over time; this is a complete, self-contained invasion force, already assembled and capable of launching operations the very moment the order is given. And it doesn’t stand alone. Moving with it is the USS New Orleans, an amphibious transport dock, carrying roughly 2,200 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Together, this is Day One war capability — not theoretical, not preparatory, but active and deployed. Everything needed for immediate combat operations is already in place, already in position, and ready to be unleashed.

Please pray for our amazing US Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen as they get ready to, hopefully, take control of the Strait of Hormuz and bring this war to an end. Semper Fi.
