二十年前，想像一个机器人为您准备早餐或制作一杯美味的咖啡以唤醒您并不容易。不过，我们在这里，高级技术通过帮助人类而不是更换人类的人类和机器人世界的边界。

Read furtheron how cobots are used in food processing and food manufacturing and challenges on the way to its automation.

食品制造和食品加工方面的挑战

尽管最近的食品和饮料自动化迅速发展，但机器人配件生态系统的机器人臂已经经历了多个挑战.

1.A缺乏标准化的生态系统解决方案

食品加工中的各种形状和物体都需要丰富的生态系统标准。部署协作机器人需要开发的多个握把和其他配件的系统。

2.Inconsistency of a cooking process

A cooking process should have its particular order; otherwise, it will be troublesome to pursue and change the programming algorithm.

3.The stock keeping unit is limited

随着消费者需求的增加，食品和饮料制造商不断提供多种口味和风味。它导致SKU complexity并需要库存这种口味的多样性。

在食品制造中提供自动化解决方案有不同的障碍。但是，为了克服这些制造挑战，我们应该深入研究该行业的机器人应用。

Top 5 robotic applications infoodprocessing

主要处理和次要处理不同。Primary processingrefers to raw food products such as meat, vegetables, and fruits to be sorted, cleaned, and mixed, while次要处理is focused on creating new food, such as cooking or baking.

Applications in primary processing:

• fruit pick & place

One of the fastest-growing robotic applications is fruit & vegetable pick and place. Cobots accurately accomplish the simple task of pick and place, including不规则形状的物体，例如水果和蔬菜。

DOBOT开发了一种自动解决方案采摘葡萄. DOBOT CR5 robotic arm with an integrated AGV has a precise vision system. A built-in automatic vision helps identify grapes. Afterward,Dobot CR5picks fruits and places them into the box.

• cutting/slicing

Collaborative robots provide an innovative solution in cutting and slicing technology.食品制造业is a complicated process requiring massive manual work, and cutting or slicing is a significant part of the cumbersome process. It is sometimes overwhelming and even dangerous for human workers to cut or slice so that collaborative robots can remove these production bottlenecks.

Applications in secondary processing:

• cake decorating

Although cake decoration is about having a design taste, a robotic alternative to a manual decoration is also worth innovating. Decorating a cake is a frontier of robotic automation because it节省时间and accelerates the efficiency in the long run of food manufacturing.

• pick and place

Picking and placing as a robotic application in food manufacturing has different options, including both picking raw products (mentioned above) and other food, such as传统的中国饺子, as an example.

MG400：真的是烹饪的好助手

After boiling Siu Mai dumplings, chefs have to pick them and place them on a plate. As they are hot enough, it is better not to use manual work. That is why deploying DOBOT collaborative robots is much more efficient than employing a human for the same task. AndDOBOT MG400夜班不需要额外的薪水。

• packaging

Food packaging is a stack of robotic automation, as there is always a need for wrapping food.
