McDonald's ice cream machines are famous for breaking down constantly. Now, the fast food franchise is saying a new device has been developed that might help staff better manage their irksome ice cream machines, according to Business Insider.

Kytch, a software company that created fully automated soft serve machines, has created a device that can be added to the "billions and billions served" burger-maker's machines. These devices can correct any minor malfunctions and let workers know when machines are breaking down.



One major cause of issues in McDonald's ice cream machines is an intensive automated cleaning cycle, which can take up to four ice-creamless hours to finish. The Kytch device collects data to make sure this cleaning is happening when it should, and prevent human-caused error.

The new device comes just in time for the McDonald's Shamrock Shake, which returns February 19th.
