Hold on – what’s a cobot?
In case you didn’t read the blog, a cobot is a robot designed for direct human-and-robot collaboration, with robots and humans working together in a shared space.
Cobots in F&B
In the food industry specifically, there are numerous applications for cobots – and more and more companies are integrating them into their operations.
Uses include…
- Packing and palletising
- Machine monitoring
- Choosing and arranging
- Process chores
- Quality checking
- Assembling, pouring, spraying, or dipping
…and more.
Increasingly, cobots are thought to improve employee happiness – with Gen Zworkers particularly open to experimenting with robot collaboration as a way to create a more fulfilling, more creative, and less repetitive work environment.
And as robotics tech develops, and more systems utilise the power of AI and machine learning, the potential for human-robot collaborations is growing.
Do you use cobots in your F&B business? We’d love to hear your experiences.
