The International Standards Organisation (ISO) defines a robot as “an automatically controlled, re-programmable, multipurpose, manipulative machine with several degrees of freedom, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications.” Working in uncomfortable or severe circumstances, continuous operation, airless operation, and uniformity in operation make them a preferred candidate for adoption in industries over manual labours.
Over the past few decades, the use of robotics in the food processing industry has grown significantly. For example, in the United States, the use of robots in food processing has increased by over 50% since 2010. In 2018, the global food robotics market was valued at approximately $1.5 billion and is projected to reach $3.1 billion by 2025.
One example of robotic intervention in the food processing industry is the use of automated systems for packaging and sorting. These systems can quickly and accurately sort and package products, reducing the need for manual labour and increasing production efficiency. Another example is the use of robotic arms in meat processing plants, which can quickly and accurately cut and process meat, reducing the risk of injury to workers and improving food safety. In addition to increasing efficiency and safety, robotic intervention in the food processing industry can also help reduce food waste. By using sensors and other technologies to monitor food quality and freshness, robots can help ensure that only high-quality products are packaged and sold, reducing the amount of food that goes to waste.
