Robotic systems used in direct and indirect food handling are designed to withstand many washdowns. The robot must be built to withstand a large amount of water being sprayed from a high-pressure, high-volume hose. To improve the flow rate of product spills and cleaning solutions, surfaces should be convex, rounded or sloped. Robots used in
Logistics centres don’t send pallets of single items, but shipments of mixed items. Huge trucks deliver items to the logistics centre and someone must unload the truck. During the unloading of the truck, each item must be registered and then stored. For this purpose Universal Robots and Mujin Corp created an automated system. With the
