Rio de Janeiro, London and Las Vegas are some of the tourist cities in the world which became references for the Ferris wheels. Now, Joinville – at the North of Santa Catarina – will also offer this attraction to the public. The Garten Shopping brought this attraction as another option of entertainment for the families. It will be active until February 26.
It is 22 meters in height with 15 gondolas and capacity for four people each – with accessibility for individuals with special needs – for the delight of children and adults. Another innovation is that the Ferris wheel, like all the enterprises of Almeida Junior, can receive small and medium sized pets in the company of their humans.
Aiming the integration between the public and the digital world, those posting a selfie in the social networks while in front of the Ferris wheel and tagging @gartenshopping will have a discount on the ticket price.
A high-tech ice cream maker, which prepares different flavors of sundaes and milkshakes just like the customer wants, will be an attraction starting in December at Garten Shopping in Joinville. Through a tablet, the customer personalizes their product, pays by credit or debit card and receives the product without any complication. One of the differentials is the experience of being served by a robotic arm, the Icebot, which will delight the kids and techies with its sympathy. Sundaes and milkshakes in various flavors will be available in the kiosk, all served in glasses and biodegradable straws.
The novelty is part of Industry 4.0, which integrates automation into people’s daily lives. According to the manufacturers, the robot reduces waste by 10-15% and increases productivity by up to 25%. Roboteria is a Joinville company, which emerged from the dream of three friends to bring a new concept to the market.
Intending to connect technology to people’s daily lives, engineers Caio Arantes, Guilherme Menegaço, and designer Roberto Homem de Mello came together to create an innovative operation that will be 100% conducted by a robotic arm. The idea came from one of the partners, who works in the industrial sector and saw a way to offer a new experience to the public with the product.
“This market has grown abroad, not only for its practicality, but also for its innovation and technology,” explains Mello. Installed at Garten in December, Roboteria will be the country’s first in this format. “We chose Garten because of the high flow of people who monthly pass by it,” says the businessman.
For Rafael Fiedler, Almeida Junior’s Marketing and Digital Director, the new operation will provide the customer with a unique experience involving technology. “The company has innovation in its DNA, which is spreading in all areas, including the commercial area, and Roboteria is a concrete example of this,” he says.
