The Growing Use of Robotics in the Food Industry

• The Growing Use of Robotics in the Food Industry
• Over the last two decades, advances in different
  technological fields have turned fictional
  robots into reality. The field of robotics falls
  under the umbrella of industrial automation. Due
  to the pressing need for increased efficiency,
  robots have been deployed to simplify activities.
  Robots are also becoming an essential component
  in many sectors. Previously, the application of
  robotics in the food industry was limited to
  food processing and palletizing in dairy, drinks,
  chocolates, and food tins. With the advancement
  compared to traditional methods, food
  manufacturing, and processing plants are using
  cost-effective automation solutions to increase
  production volume. Since relying on manual labor
  is now considered a classic principle, robotized
  handling/manufacturing installations are becoming
  more common. Picking, putting, packing, and
  palletizing are all examples of popular
  applications.
• Food industries are shifting towards automation
  to reduce food processing costs while increasing
  food quality and security. In this background,
  industries are implementing a systemic use of
  automation and robotic systems and fully
  automated digitized process management to improve
  food manufacturing productivity while
  dramatically lowering production costs.
• Ways Robotics is Changing the Food Industry
• The food industry has been reluctant to embrace
  robotics for various reasons. Experts believe
  that food industry robots are evolving, and
  companies that do not adopt modern technologies
  risk falling behind. Food demand continues to
  rise as the worlds population grows to over 7.5
  billion. Consumers are searching for more than
  just better-quality, organic food at their
  fingertips. Robotics and automation are critical
  components of the approach. The food processing
  industry has been reluctant to adopt robotics
  compared to other sectors.
• However, on the other hand, Robotics has made
  inroads into nearly every aspect of the food
  industry in recent years, from the farm to the
  kitchen. The following are some aspects in which
  the industry is evolving
• Agriculture Farming is the start of the food
  chain. The agricultural precision industry is
  estimated to cost 7.87 billion by 2022. Robotics
  plays a significant role in this. By the same
  year, the value of agricultural drones is
  expected to be 3.9 billion dollars. Seedlings,
  recognition, and sorting are some of the robotic
  uses.
• Food Processing Autonomous food processing can
  hold the key to meeting growing food demand. The
  global food automation market is predicted to
  double in size within
• the next five years, reaching 2.5 billion dollars
  in 2022. Because of the popularity of
  ready-to-eat foods, the Asia-Pacific market is a
  major driver in this region. In food production,
  secondary processing includes combining the
  ingredients to form new food

• products. Since the food is more standardized by
  then, robotics applications are best suited to
  secondary production. However, we see an increase
  in the number of main processing robots.
• Food Packaging Robots for food packaging have
  been used in the food supply chain for a long
  time. However, the most recent change is that the
  whole packaging process can now be automated.
  Robotic packaging is expected to be one of the
  essential applications in the food industry.
• Food Safety Even though labor costs drive
  interest in robot technologies, more businesses
  focus on food safety. In 2019, the use of robot
  materials in the food industry had increased by
  29, owing to safe and non-contaminating
  processing areas. According to the CDC,
  foodborne disease affects 48 million Americans (1
  in 6) per year, resulting in 128,000
  hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. By reducing
  human interaction with foodstuffs, robots
  minimize the chance of contamination and
  foodborne diseases.
