The history of human civilization is a history of devising more and more efficient ways to get more results with less labor which has been achieved through two interconnected endeavors: establishing and determining laws of nature (both through experimentation and theoretical thinking) and creating tools to help us cope with and be in control of reality. The later underwent an astonishing evolution from simple sticks to pick fruit from trees, to our ability to literally create black holes in laboratory settings. 

To get more closer to our topic, the same principles that brought us from forests and savannas to the outer space and allowed us to have means of communication with people no matter where they may be on the planet, are also applicable to more mundane but at times unfortunately so time-consuming and cumbersome tasks as peeling eggs.

Peeling a couple of eggs now and then may not seem like a task requiring creating special tools to automate the process, but what if you need, or would like, to peel many hundreds of them per day, like many food businesses across the world have to?

Truth to be told, egg shell peeling machines have long been available starting from hand-operated consumer-grade peelers to large scale factory lines.

But there is a catch – the only type of eggs they can process is the hard-boiled one.

Which may not necessarily be enough if you have soft-boiled eggs on your menu – or would have had them if only you could peel enough of them!

Yamato is always laser-focused on finding solutions that can help our customers to be more efficient and successful. This includes our main line of products – noodle machines, that have more production capacity, and boast incomparably better quality than household “pasta-makers” yet require far less space to install and operate than large factory lines – something that a stand-along restaurant, restaurant chain, or a small-scale production business might be interested in.

But considering the general advancement of modern technology, to come up with something that is both new and useful one needs, no matter how cliched it may sound, think out of the box – which in addition to the proverbial “box” requires exceptionally large amount of thinking as well.

And so we thought. Though a lot. Experimented. Thought more. Brainstormed, improved, adjusted, tweaked and tinkered, and of course, at the same time never stopped thinking. 

So, a long story short, just as the Nobel physics laureate Richard Feynman was famous for “fixing radios” by thinking, so it can be said that Yamato too managed to crack (pun intended!) the long existing challenge of creating a tool to automate the task of peeling soft-boiled eggs by and through thinking as well.
