Applications of robotics in the food industry
Product packaging and palletising
Once the product has achieved a sustained and effective quality control, it can be packaged. At this stage, robots are used to pack and place products in suitable containers for delivery. This has helped to improve productivity and cut labour costs.
Meat Processing
The use of robots in meat processing, such as cutting, sorting and packaging, is rapidly increasing. Working in freezers and coolers is unsuitable for humans, but robots can work non-stop in these conditions. In addition, carcass cutting and trimming are extremely dangerous tasks for humans, but robots can perform these tasks safely, accurately and repeatedly.
Product decoration
Robotic applications in the food industry can consistently deliver personalised products in terms of proper decoration and labelling. Such decorations include pizza preparation, cooking and toppings, cake detailing or pastry markings. During this product process, the robot has expanded its range of motion, enabling a more efficient and improved ability to create and manufacture high quality products consistently.
Decontaminate food product areas
Another advantage of robots in the food industry is that they can be used to clean and decontaminate surfaces, especially food processing areas. Specially designed robots can be used to reduce the risk of contamination in the food industry.
