Pune: In a first across all Airports Authority of India (AAI) facilities in the country, the Lohegaon airport on Friday started a robot-assisted food dispensing machine and outlet for passengers.
“The state-of-the-art machine will enhance the customer experience,” said Pune airport director Ajay Kumar. TOI had first reported about the machine to be set up at the facility in early April.
Apart from the food dispensing machine, the solar power plant at the airport, which was delayed by nearly three weeks, was also inaugurated. Officials stated that the plant is capable of generating 300KW of power.
“AAI’s regional executive director Keshav Sharma inaugurated the food dispensing machine. He also inaugurated the solar power plant at the airport on Thursday. Food sourced from different city outlets will be available at the outlet. It is a modern machine that dispenses food once the customer makes a selection on an iPad connected to it and pays the amount through a debit/credit card or cash. A robotic arm delivers the food after heating it in the microwave oven,” Kumar said.
