<![CDATA[This study evaluated Gyozenova, an integrated smart automated dumpling production system, for improving productivity, product consistency, hygiene processes, operator capability, and data visibility in an Indonesian food microenterprise. A pragmatic before-after field design assessed machine functionality, production efficiency, product standardization, hygiene compliance, training outcomes, technology acceptance, and operational economics. Stable capacity increased from 300 to 450 dumplings per hour, while batch time decreased from 120 to 80 minutes and labor productivity doubled from 75 to 150 dumplings per worker-hour. Product-weight coefficient of variation decreased from 9.8% to 3.7%, defects fell from 6.7% to 1.6%, and overall conformance reached 98.4%. Direct hand-contact points decreased by 64.3%, hygiene nonconformities by 70.0%, and sanitation-procedure compliance reached 94.0%. The findings showed that appropriately scaled automation was most effective when mechanical integration was combined with standardized procedures, operator training, sanitation discipline, preventive maintenance, and routine digital monitoring for resource-constrained food SMEs under real production conditions.]]>
