The AI-powered robot uses advanced sensors and real-time data collection to detect equipment and safety risks, helping keep operations running smoothly while protecting the people behind them.
Rob Dongoski, global lead, agriculture and food, for management consulting firm Kearney, discusses major drivers for change in the U.S. food system, including generational purchasing patterns, growing interest in health and sustainability, and implementing technology to harness consumer insights and improve efficiency.
The joint solution combines Chef's AI focus and flexibility with Proseal's tray sealing machines and packaging solutions to provide food manufacturers with an end-to-end solution for their meal assembly and packaging needs.
In addition to the robotic manufacturing operations, the campus will combine multiple Yaskawa Drives and Motion facilities into one location over the next three to eight years, eventually encompassing more than 800,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing, packaging and training space.
Though the technology doesn’t change that quickly, HPP capacities keep gradually increasing along with automation to do the heavy lifting and keep tabs on scheduling and maintenance.
For certain high-value products where extended shelf life and preservation of nutrients and vitamins are crucial, HPP offers a bacterial inactivation process that doesn’t interfere with the organoleptic nature of food and beverages.
Food manufacturers are increasingly turning to cobots and robots to alleviate labor shortages, increase efficiency and manage tight operational footprints.
