Future proof? DATA-DRIVEN AUTOMATION IMPROVES YIELD, QUALITY, TRACEABILITY AND CUTS LABOR COSTS

摘要

THE ADOPTION OF AUTOMATION and robots in the food processing sector is happening at a rapid pace. This shouldn't come as a surprise, though, since automation provides a variety of benefits, including higher yields, lower labor costs, better quality and improved traceability.Dutch food processing solutions provider FTNON has developed a unique robotic solution for de-coring iceberg lettuce and cabbage that does just that. FTNON's director at its Delft, Netherlands facility, Richard van der Linde, explains how data-driven automation helps future proof food processing businesses, i.e. <5,xatds them against obsolescence. He spoke at this year's Fruit Logistica trade fair, held earlier this year in Berlin, Germany.
