Front of Line Automation
Optimise your value chain right from the very start of the production process using FANUC front-of-line automation. Whether it's depalletising, loading, line charging or even thermo forming your packaging with an injection moulding machine, any number of tasks can easily be automated to help you improve your food manufacturing processes and lower your costs.
Depalletising
Industrial robots provide an incredibly efficient way of handling goods at different stages of the production process.
Line Charging
No matter what you process, the sheer versatility of automated solutions means getting your raw materials onto the production line is easier than you might think.
Packaging Production
FANUC ROBOSHOT is a versatile CNC injection moulding machine that can be used to produce packaging onsite.
Automating Handling, Processing and Picking
Food and beverage producers need to keep up with current trends. Automating pick, place, handling, processing 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.
Picking
FANUC's robots and cobots are built with maximum repeatability for more precise, efficient, and sustainable automated picking solutions.
Handling
Safely handle secondary or primary food with dedicated food and clean room robots equipped with food-grade grease and special coatings.
Processing
Gain more flexibility automating your food processing applications with FANUC robots and cobots.
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.
Packing
Enhance efficiency, precision, and hygiene, ensuring faster, consistent, and contaminant-free packaging processes with FANUC.
Palletising
FANUC offers the industry's most complete range of palletising robots and cobots designed and built to deliver high duty and the world’s fastest cycle times.

Elsa Group is Top of the Food Chain With FANUC Service
Specifying and acquiring an industrial robot is often a company’s first step on its journey to an automated future based on higher productivity and repeatability. However, partnering with a robot vendor that is able to offer the highest levels of customer support is paramount in order to achieve complete project success, from commissioning and training to machine service and maintenance.
FANUC Robot Raises Palletising Capacity at Flour Plant
Taking the strain in heavy lifting operations is a classic application for industrial robots. However, implementing robots in lifting tasks not only provides physical relief to workers, it also has the potential to boost throughput, even where space is limited. Flour manufacturer Lindmühle is a case in point, where FANUC simulation software highlighted the optimal robot for the available working envelope.
FANUC Relieves the Heat for In-store Bakeries
With the FANUC cobot-based system, in-store bakeries can elevate their productivity in a safe and reliable way. The automated system provides an effective way to increase productivity and reduce costs in repetitive product handling applications.
Trio of FANUC Robots Boost Packing Efficiency at Inoverde
In a fast-moving fresh-food distribution plant, efficiency through automated packing operations is paramount to keep pace with demand. As a by-product of this approach, robot adopters also gain from less physical strain for employees, gentler handling of delicate produce like fruit and vegetables, and more a uniform and repeatable process. Among the latest factories to benefit from all this added value is the Bätterkinden, Switzerland facility of major food distributor Inoverde, where carrot filling, packing and palletising operations are benefiting from the introduction of three FANUC industrial robots.
Cake Cutting With Ultrasonic Precision
Bottlenecks in production are often caused by time-consuming manual precision activities. In such cases, an innovative but simple automation step can multiply the production volume.
