Achieving nighttime automation with Volkmann's air transport system! ~Matcha factory edition~

I want to leave the processing of matcha to the machines overnight. During the day, I want to focus on tasks that involve human involvement, while utilizing the equipment effectively at night to advance the pre-processing. On the other hand, fine powders like matcha are materials that are prone to concerns such as "adhesion," "clogging," and "poor discharge." This time, we confirmed through a demonstration whether the transportation and discharge of matcha could be achieved under conditions assuming nighttime operation. The impetus for this test came from a request from a customer who wanted to "automatically transport matcha unmanned at night." In every industry, there is a growing need for mechanization and labor-saving processes against the backdrop of labor shortages. One of the requests is to complete pre-processing at night and focus on high-value-added tasks during the day. However, unmanned transportation of fine powders like matcha comes with its own unique concerns. Result: Transportation is problem-free. There is some adhesion to the equipment, but it can be addressed (e.g., with Gemini processing).
