Food & Beverage
Cobots (collaborative robots) from Productive Robotics offer numerous uses in the food and beverage industry — automating tasks, supporting workers and increasing efficiency, productivity, accuracy and safety. From food product handling to packaging and more, cobots in food industry applications provide numerous benefits in myriad areas and processes throughout the facility.
OB7 cobots are exceptionally simple to use, flexible and cost-effective. OB7 eliminates efficiency issues, improves safety, worker satisfaction and with 7-axis freedom of movement, zero programming and small footprint, staff can easily set up automation runs and redeploy as needs change.

Advantages of cobot automation
Consistency and accuracy: The most repetitive tasks in food and beverage manufacturing are undesirable, susceptible to distraction and prone to error. Collaborative robotics in the food industry fulfill these tasks, providing the same level of quality consistently and enabling around-the-clock operation.
Simple setup and operation: With "no programming", anyone can teach OB7 a job. OB7 is “taught,” rather than programmed, by simply moving the arm into place and showing it what to do. Using an intuitive touchscreen, graphics-based interface, you can adjust the robot's job.
Handling dull and dangerous tasks: In the food industry, collaborative robots work in very high or low temperatures, or in specialized environments required for certain types of food and beverage handling and packaging. Rather than subjecting human workers to these conditions, robots can complete these tasks safely and quickly.
Enabling workers to focus on higher-value tasks: With cobots in the food industry, your employees can apply their expertise and innovation to higher-value tasks and problem solving.
Automate with confidence. It's easy to get started.
