Food

Integrating robotic islands into the food industry not only increases productivity and quality, but also helps meet stringent health and hygiene regulations, improving product safety and traceability.

Our company is able to design and develop robotic islands and automation solutions for multiple uses in this wide sector:

Handling and packaging

Pick-and-Place: Robots are used to pick up and place food products, such as biscuits, candies, fruit or vegetables, in containers or on production lines. This reduces the risk of contamination and increases the speed of the process. They are designed for the insertion of food products in packages, such as envelopes, boxes or trays, or for secondary packaging, carried out by packaging primary units into larger boxes or on pallets for distribution.

Packaging and palletizing

Robotic islands are designed to package products in final packaging, such as boxes or shrink films. The robots are programmed to handle various package sizes and formats, and for palletising work by stacking boxes packed on pallets efficiently and stably, ready for shipment. Our systems can be programmed to optimize space use and stabilize loads.

Labelling and traceability

Robots and cobots are designed to apply labels on packages or individual products with precision, ensuring that each product is correctly identified; they can manage and monitor bar codes, QR code or other forms of identification to ensure the traceability of products throughout the production and distribution chain.

Inspection and Quality Control

By visual inspection, robots equipped with high-resolution cameras and machine vision systems inspect products for visual defects such as surface imperfections, packaging defects or missing labels. Cobots and robots using sensors and technologies such as X-rays or ultrasound can detect contaminants, foreign bodies or internal defects in food products, ensuring that only safe products are distributed.

Handling of fresh and delicate products

The robots are designed to handle fresh and delicate produce, such as fruit and vegetables, without damaging them. Specific gripping systems are used to minimise the pressure on products. Robots can be programmed to select and sort products according to specific criteria such as size, colour or visual quality.

Dosing and mixing

Robots and cobots are programmed to precisely dose food ingredients such as spices, liquids or powders, ensuring that each batch is uniform and in accordance with the recipes, and also mix ingredients in a homogeneous way, Ensuring that the recipes are followed accurately.

Application of Coatings and Decorations

We design robot and cobot islands that apply layers of frosting, chocolate or other coatings to confectionery products, ensuring uniform coverage and accurate decorations. The automated application of decorations on food products, such as cakes or biscuits, allows mass customization products effectively.
