FANUC Robots Improve the Food Processing Industry
FANUC robots are drastically reducing employee injury and improving production efficiency in the food processing industry. FANUC is making the food processing industry safer and more productive with USDA-compliant robots engineered to complete the repetitive, difficult tasks known to cause worker injuries and accelerate the handling of food products during production.
FANUC Robots Reduce Contamination & Food Borne Illnesses
FANUC robots are being utilized in each step of the food production process not only to improve procedure, but effectively reduce food contamination. FANUC robots have been proven to greatly reduce the chance of food contamination during production. Compared to human production workers whom are susceptible to illness or don’t adhere to strict cleanliness standards, FANUC robots deliver a consistent sanitary process. The most common cause of food recalls today is due to product mislabeling for certain food allergens. The integration of FANUC robots increases accuracy to significantly diminish these human errors. Today, FANUC robots are changing the food processing industry bringing a more accurate production process while providing consumers with a healthier, safer product.
FANUC Robots Reduce Employee Injury
The food processing industry features various bending, stooping and twisting activities costing companies millions in employee injuries annually. USDA-compliant FANUC robots are ideal for performing the repetitive, difficult tasks leading to common and re-occurring employee injuries. For example, FANUC robots in the farming industry are improving worker safety by replacing the traditional back-breaking hand-milking process. FANUC robots offer the mobility to perform the uncomfortable, repetitive bending and crouching tasks associated with milking cows. FANUC robots reduce worker injuries associated with manual milking, offer increased control and sanitation of the milking process and protect the animal and farmer from injury. The farming industry is just one example of how FANUC robots are reducing worker injury in food processing environments.
FANUC Robots Improve Production
USDA-compliant FANUC robots are improving the food processing industry by moving products faster than manual labor and providing more consistent loading accuracy. For example, the chicken and fish processing industry benefits from high speed FANUC robots in the packaging process. FANUC robots’ iRVision is a great asset to the food packaging industry. FANUC robots feature vision sensors emulating the hand-eye coordination of humans improving the packaging process by eliminating human error and fatigue associated with manual hand-packaging. Innovative gripping technology allows FANUC robots to handle thin and thick-sliced meat portions and other chicken and fish pieces with human precision. The gripping technology features weighing capabilities allowing the FANUC robot to place the correct amount of food product into the package.
