Automating delicate processes

The handling of primary and secondary foods and products clearly represents the most delicate stage in the food processing chain. Whether it is slicing, punching, cutting or filling, FANUC’s tailor-made solutions make it possible to automate almost any conceivable handling operation in food manufacturing. As simple as they are cost-effective, FANUC solutions comply fully with food standard and hygiene regulations.

"If you can combine robots with traditional craftsmanship, yet still produce a truely unique product, then there are compelling reasons to automate" says Suteria's Manfred Suter. Discover the full story.

Automating handling and picking

Food and beverage producers need to keep up with current trends. Automating pick, place or sorting tasks, not only enables you to optimise your production processes but also to react flexibly to new developments, thus staying ahead of the competition. This can be further enhanced by the use of smart visual recognition technology and sensor systems.

"Our international operators of the palletising cell found that some employees where having problems navigating the touchscreen menu, so at very short notice Robotec developed a modified control panel for the FANUC robot that restricted the menu to key steps and dispensed with unnecassary options. This worked beautifully, and our employees now find it very easy to use." (Rudolf Roth, Head of Production, Hero AG , Switzerland)

End of line automation

Automating the end of your production line increases your flexibility, enabling you to react quickly to the trends and challenges involved in providing intelligent and secure good-quality packing, storage and logistics. Wrapping, labelling, packing and palletising all involve strenuous and repetitive manual work – something that can easily be done by automated systems for optimised, cost-effective results.
