Application of Fuwei Intelligent Collaborative Robot in Food and Beverage

Fuwei intelligent collaborative robots are widely used in secondary processes such as packaging and machine tool management in the food and beverage supply chain.  Collaborative robots can work in humid environments such as greenhouses, refrigeration rooms, heating furnaces, etc., freeing employees from repetitive work and preventing harm to personnel from adverse environments.

For picking/packaging/stacking applications, Fuwei intelligent collaborative robots can meet a range of requirements for stretchability and payload capacity.  Through the built-in palletizing wizard program, collaborative robots can be easily deployed.

Collaborative robots excel in low contact processes and can work continuously 24/7.  Collaborative robots are an ideal choice when dealing with seasonal demand surges, as they can meet productivity needs and businesses do not need to recruit additional temporary workers.  Subsequently, flexible and easy to program collaborative robots can also be redeployed to new product lines or different processes.  Collaborative robots do not require protective barriers after risk assessment, and production or packaging lines based on collaborative robots can be easily reconfigured, creating value for enterprises even in small batches.

The advantages of collaborative robots

1 Having flexibility

The programming of the Fuwei intelligent collaborative robot is simple, allowing food and beverage manufacturers and packaging companies to quickly adapt to new products and delivery requirements.  Collaborative robotic arms can be reprogrammed, moved, and redeployed, allowing even small-scale factories to operate multiple production lines or transition from production tasks to packaging tasks in the same space.

2 High production efficiency

Collaborative robots in food and beverage applications can work 24/7 and even meet seasonal demand peaks.  The improvement of production efficiency does not come at the expense of quality, and precise and repeatable automated processes can reduce waste.  Collaborative robots have various plug and play fixtures, which means they can easily handle fine, irregularly shaped objects.

3 Safer and more hygienic

In the fine food and beverage processing, collaborative robots and employees can work safely side by side (after risk assessment).  Collaborative robots can also work independently to reduce the risk of contamination during low contact processes.  The shell design of the Fuwei intelligent collaborative robot can reduce dust accumulation.
