AUTEC, the nation's leading commercial sushi robot provider, designed the ASM895A sushi robot to double kitchen efficiency and elevate sushi menus with innovative dishes.

AUTEC, the nation’s leader in commercial Sushi robotics showcased its new labor-saving robotic sushi makers. Chef Kaz Mitsui from the famed restaurant Hog Salt Chicago crafted unique sushi dishes using AUTEC’s Maki Maker to portion, shape and cut sushi pieces to perfection.

AUTEC, a division of turntable maker Audio-Technica, opened up an automated sushi bar at the show featuring a series of machines that produce the rice sheets, create rice balls and cut rolls — essentially doing everything but shouting a greeting at customers when they enter. Xiaokai Shang, sales manager of AUTEC Canada, said the sushi robots, which cost between $17,000 and $22,500 each, depending on their role in the process, are consistent, precise and fast.
