FOOD AND BEVERAGE ROBOTIC SYSTEM INTEGRATION MARKET FOR PICK AND PLACE APPLICATION ANALYSIS

Global Food and Beverage Robotic System Integration Market for Pick and Place Application - Insights

Robot system integration is a method of programming and supplying industrial robots for performing manufacturing tasks autonomously. The global food and beverage robotic system integration market for pick and place application is estimated to generate revenue of US$ 17.5 million in 2017 from US$ 15.8 million in 2016. The market is expected to generate revenue of US$ 40.1 million by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.91% over the forecast period.

The adoption for robotic system integrator in manufacturing and processing of food and beverages is increasing, owing to increased efficiency, reduced errors, no requirement for clean and contamination free production area, efficient process management, appropriate usage of raw materials, reduced waste, and depletion in production time offered by robotic integration. This in turn, results in enhanced levels of production. For instance, in 2003, a grading system was developed using robots, which segregates deciduous fruits such as peaches, pears, and apples. This system automatically segregates the fruits by inspecting all sides of the fruit and placing them in their respective crates for further process. In this grading system, robot’s maximum speed is 1 m/s and its stroke is around 1.2 m. Within 2.7 seconds, the robot can transfer 12 fruits to their respective trays and takes 0.4 seconds to move the product down to the conveyor line. The robotic arm returns back to its original place after releasing the fruit, within 1 second. The pick and place robots complete the entire operation in 4.25 seconds. As per this calculation, one set of pick and place robot can process around 10, 000 fruits per hour.
