ROBOTICS
Robotic solutions, such as Syntegon’s RPP platform, can help address the need for more efficiency, safety and flexibility.
key to act fast on new trends and stay ahead of the competition. Thanks to the addition of vision systems, robots are also
able to help increase product quality because they are able to detect defective products during ongoing production and eject them from the line before they can make their way to the consumer.
Robots can also increase quality during production by reducing the risk of contamination. Once packaging processes have been programmed, integrated robots can perform the task reliably without the need for any human interference, reducing the number of contacts between production personnel and product. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, manufacturers have doubled down on their efforts to ensure both a safe production environment as well as a save product – by relying more on robotic solutions.
The factory of the future We must expect to see production lines becoming increasingly automated in the future. However, no matter how much the level of automation will rise, the interplay between machine and personnel will continue to be a key factor for success. To remain ahead of the competition in such a competitive industry sector, it will be key for confectionery manufacturers to recognise the right opportunities for robotic integration and this can be achieved best by having a partner by their side who understands the requirements of the confectionery industry and has a great deal of robotic expertise under their belt, to help realise the full potential of robotic technology.
“Robots with the right EoA tool can handle even delicate products such as cookies, bars, or baked goods during primary and secondary packaging processes.”
