COBOTS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY
Cobots (collaborative robots) from Productive Robotics offer numerous uses in the food and beverage industry — automating tasks; supporting workers; and increasing efficiency, productivity, accuracy and safety. From food product handling to packaging and more, cobots in food industry applications provide numerous benefits in myriad areas and processes throughout the facility.
OB7 cobots are among the most simple, flexile, cost-effective cobots. OB7 eliminates efficiency issues, improves safety and worker satisfaction, and provides immediate ROI. With seven-axes movement, “no-programming” and a small, mobile footprint, OB7 robots seamlessly integrate into your production to automate tasks such as:
-
Packaging processed foods, containers, or boxes
-
Picking products from storage and palletizing them
-
Labeling, part marking, and scanning barcodes
-
Sorting and packaging product for fulfillment
ROBOTIC AUTOMATION IN FOODSERVICE AND COMMERICAL KITCHENS
In partnership with investor, Middleby Corporation, the world's largest provider of commercial kitchen, beverage and technology solutions for foodservice, Productive Robotics' OB7 cobot automates repetitive kitchen tasks for commercial restaurants and institutions. In collaboration with Lab2Fab, part of the Middleby family of brands, we introduce the FryBot™ and PizzaBot™ to optimize labor efficiency, minimize ingredient waste, and improve food quality.

BENEFITS OF ROBOTICS IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
OB7 robotic automation in food industry applications offer a wide range of benefits in simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency. These benefits are delivered through:
-
Consistency and accuracy: The most repetitive tasks in food and beverage manufacturing are undesirable, susceptible to distraction and prone to error. Collaborative robotics in the food industry fulfill these tasks, providing the same level of quality and repeatability every time, without breaks, sick days or vacation time — and enabling around-the-clock operation.
-
Simple setup and operation — With "no programming", anyone can teach OB7 a job. OB7 is “taught,” rather than programmed, by simply moving the arm into place and showing it what to do. Using an intuitive touchscreen, graphics-based interface, you can adjust the robot's job.
-
Handling dull and dangerous tasks: In the food industry, collaborative robots work in very high or low temperatures, or in specialized environments required for certain types of food and beverage handling and packaging. Rather than subjecting human workers to these conditions, robots can complete these tasks safely and quickly.
-
Enabling workers to focus on higher-value tasks: With cobots in the food industry, your employees can apply their expertise and innovation to higher-value tasks and problem solving.
