At Tcho's chocolate factory, the iPhone is the company's modern-day Oompa Loompa. Childs worked with FX Palo Alto Laboratory, a high-tech research lab in Silicon Valley, to develop an iPhone application to control the factory's and lab's machines.

The mixers and grinders can be switched on and off and temperatures can be adjusted with a simple flick of the finger on the iPhone. This way, the factory can run any time of day and remotely.
