Test results show that double cycle refrigeration system’s cake cabinet can control refrigerated compartment temperature error to within ±0.5 ° C, maintain humidity in the gold zone of 75%-85%RH, and reduce the total number of rotten colonies of cream cake by 92% while extending shelf life from 48 h in the ordinary refrigerator to 72 h. For instance, a global chain bakery brand, whose shops were renovated entirely to intelligent temperature and humidity cake cabinets, reduced its raw material loss rate from 14.7% to 5.3% daily, and the cost savings annually exceeded 2.3 million yuan.
Research results showed that 78% of consumers believe the preservation effect of the cake cabinet will have direct impact on their purchase decision, a European brand with the usage of nano silver ion antibacterial layer (bacterial rate: 99.99%) cake cabinet, for Valentine’s Day market test, customized mouse cakes sales increased 67%, customer complaint rate generated by hygiene problems decreased 83%. The technology has achieved EU EFSA food safety certification, the vacuum insulation layer (thermal conductivity ≤0.018W/m·K) is used by the cabinet, and the power off and cooling time is up to 12 hours.
Supply chain data analysis shows that the modular design of the cake cabinet can improve space utilization by 30% through flexible layer arrangement. The adjustable partition system provided by a baking device manufacturer makes 6-level standard cabinet conversion into 3-level special-shaped cabinets in 3 minutes possible, and an Internet celebrity store achieved 200% of themed cake display volume growth and 45% of improved floor efficiency for Halloween activities. Its frequency conversion compressor technology can save 28% of energy compared to traditional fixed frequency equipment, and won the “Green baking Equipment Innovation Award in 2023”.
Market studies of consumer behavior showed that LED atmosphere lighting cake cabinets can increase product visual appeal by 73%, and one of the luxury brands introduced a “gradual light effect” window display plan through an RGB lighting programming system during Christmas, increasing window flow by 41% and unit price of customers by 29%. The gear is equipped with IoT sensors to monitor temperature and humidity fluctuations in real-time and automatically trigger alarm signals whenever values deviate from set parameters, reducing quality issues caused by human errors by 68%.
From the cost-benefit perspective, one hotel chain installed a cake cabinet with AI predictive algorithm to dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the refrigerator by determining past sales trends and weather patterns, conserving 34% of off-season energy consumption and the percentage of raw material scraps by 19% in peak season. Its cloud-based management system supports cross-store inventory allocation, reducing restocking response time to less than four hours in regional distribution centers and enhancing inventory turnover by 52%.
According to the market monitoring report, the size of the global smart cake cabinet (cake cabinet) market in 2023 increased 39% year on year, and products with UV-C ultraviolet disinfection function occupied 43%. The Chinese company’s ozone + ultraviolet composite purification system can complete the air sterilization in the cabinet within 15 minutes, such that the cake mold breeding rate in the open display area is zero, and the corresponding technical solution has been applied by Disney theme parks and utilized to its 28 dessert stations worldwide.
Finally, the LEED platinum-certified cake cabinet achieved 10% electricity independence through photovoltaic energy storage system, and a green bakery brand saved $110,000 per annum in electricity expenditure under California’s solar energy policy, while reducing the carbon footprint of its products by 47% through the use of recycled materials. Brand ESG scores climbed to the top 10% of the sector.
