The upgrade introduces smart devices, including a dish recycling conveyor, an automatic high-temperature dishwasher, and AI-powered robots for delivery and cleaning, enhancing the dining experience for students and staff by providing a safer, cleaner and more convenient environment.<\/p><p class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><br \/>The dish recycling conveyor streamlines operations by transporting used utensils to the washing area, where the automatic high-temperature dishwasher cleans and sanitises them, reducing manual labour and ensuring hygiene. AI-powered robots further elevate service efficiency by handling delivery and cleaning tasks. Additionally, the installation of a food waste decomposer minimises landfill waste, aligning with HSUHK\u2019s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.<\/p><p class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><br \/>HSUHK is committed to fostering a multicultural learning environment and advancing social inclusion. The University has introduced Halal food and beverage vending machines, and is pursuing Halal Certification for the M Canteen, to meet diverse dietary needs and enhance inclusivity for students and staff.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
