Machines are much better at producing uniform things than humans. Not sure what "magic" you think that humans can bring to a baking process.
- spamizbad 5y agoYes but changes in the baking process or recipe will impact flavor. So for automation to replace the humans your automation has to be compatible with the existing recipe. If it's not, and requires a recipe adjustment, you're likely going to see a change in flavor that consumers will probably reject. Products developed with automation from day-one do not have that problem, but Kellogg's value is locked into existing products. Automation is not "Do the exact same thing the exact same way a person would do it, but with a machine." You adapt your product to facilitate the manufacturing process. That's how stuff gets automated.
