LBX Food Robotics announced that its Bake Xpress hot food kiosk meets the stringent requirements for full Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) certification for U.S. markets and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification for Canadian locations.
With testing completed by TÜV Rhineland, Bake Xpress, a full-menu hot food vending solution, meets internationally recognized performance, safety and reliability standards. While the machine’s components are all individually certified, some locations such as government facilities, transportation hubs and hospitals require the full machine to be certified.
Bake Xpress opened its first U.S. airport and hospital locations this month.
Benoit Herve, founder and CEO of LBX Food Robotics, said in the announcement: “Our focus on quality sets us apart, from the high-end foods Bake Xpress delivers down to the components we designed into our machine. This has been true since our initial design phase and is well-validated by the four years that Bake Xpress machines have been in continuous operation. Receiving UL and CSA certification is an important milestone for LBX that will allow us to serve thousands of new high-volume locations.”
Herve added in the announcement that the company also anticipates full CE certification for European markets this month, as required for all electronic equipment deployed within the European Union.
The smart oven inside Bake Xpress uses a combination of infrared, convection and microwave to bake a full menu of meals, pastries and hearty snacks on demand. Because Bake Xpress bakes food, it is able to deliver restaurant-quality results such as pizza with crispy crusts and even heating and browning, pastries, pasta, sandwiches and more. LBX customers can choose to fully customize the machine and menu to extend their brand, leverage existing contracts and optimize the end user experience.
LBX was founded in 2015 as Le Bread Xpress and has installed UL- and CSA-certified Bake Xpress kiosks in universities, hotels, hospitals, retail centers, airports, factories and office parks worldwide, with machines in continuous operation since 2019.
