Collaborative Robots Revolutionize the Food and Beverage Supply Chain for Increased Efficiency and Safety
Rainbow cobots are utilized in various secondary processes, such as packaging and machine tending, across the food and beverage supply chain. These cobots can work in unfavorable environments ranging from humid greenhouses to refrigerated rooms to hot ovens, which frees employees from repetitive tasks that may cause injury. The cobots can work continuously without breaks, which is especially beneficial for seasonal production surges, as they can meet the production requirements without the need for additional temporary workers.
The patented and certified safety system in Rainbow cobots allows for complete flexibility, enabling factories to redeploy them to new product lines or different processes as production volumes change. The cobots can stop or slow down when operators are present, ensuring safe and collaborative work environments. For pick/pack/pal applications, RB-series cobot models are equipped to meet a range of reach and payload requirements, and built-in palletizing wizards make deployment easy, even for specific customer needs for pallet patterns and labeling that are often required for food and beverage distribution.
