Collaborative and industrial robots in the food and beverage sector
Cobots are widely used in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, where you can use them for various additional tasks such as packaging and palletizing. Collaborative robots are made of stainless steel and can therefore function in a variety of conditions, ranging from working in ice-cold storage areas to working with hot ovens. Thus, your workers are less burdened by repeatedly performing the same type of tasks in risky environments and reduce the risk of injury. Also, cobots increase the productivity of your food processing business, because when necessary, you deploy them 24 hours a day.
Why deploy cobots?
Cobots have a number of advantages (in any industry, but also in the food industry), namely:
You reduce and prevent staff shortages;
You catch peaks in production;
You reduce the burden on your employees;
You reduce the internal travel time of order pickers;
You always deliver high quality; You can use cobots to handle CBL fust crates (recyclable crates).
What are the benefits of cobotizing in the food industry?
Flexibility
Thanks to the easy programming capabilities of cobots, manufacturers in the food and beverage industry respond quickly to new products and delivery requirements. In addition, you effortlessly reset and move collaborative robotic arms with ease, allowing even smaller companies to run multiple production lines and seamlessly switch between manufacturing and packaging on the same floor space.
Productivity
Cobots are capable of working 24 hours a day, meeting even the highest seasonal peaks without sacrificing quality. They offer precise automation, which minimizes waste.
Safety
Collaborative robots prevent contamination risks from human intervention during food production. Olmia’s robotic arms can be used for sterile, precise operations and take over tasks in loud and vibrating environments, making the production process safer for your employees as well. Your employees can focus on higher-value tasks and spend less time washing hands and putting on sterile clothing.
Why cobots for the food and meat industry?
Certain goods – such as meat, dairy products and fruit – need to reach stores as fresh as possible and at a competitive price. Cobots can work 24 hours a day without breaks and require few direct human interactions. So you always process produce as quickly as possible, even during seasonal peaks. In addition, you never have to use temporary workers.
Choose a collaborative robot for tasks in the food industry
For tasks such as picking, packing and palletizing, our cobots meet all of the
range and payload requirements. The cobots are highly suitable for
all kinds of tasks, even in the case of specific customer requirements for labeling in the
food industry. Because cobots are suitable for working with people, there is no need
to install safety gates.
