What food and beverage asks of a line
Sanitation as a design input
Washdown and cleaning routines shape the choice of robot, gripper and guarding from the start.
High line speeds
Packing and end-of-line cells often run fast, so every robot has to keep pace with the line.
Frequent product and pack changeovers
Seasonal products, new pack sizes and promotions mean the line changes often.
End-of-line labor
Case packing and palletizing are heavy, repetitive tasks that are hard to staff on every shift.
