Earlier this month, Chipotle announced that they are testing a new avocado processing device called theAutocado.

Partnering with Vebu to create the collaborative robot, or “cobot”, the Autocado cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand-mashed to create the restaurant’s signature guacamole.

This year, Chipotle is expecting to use roughly 4.5 million cases of avocados. With Autocado, the company aims to increase avocado fruit yield, which in turn, can lead to millions of dollars in annual food cost savings.
