The optimal module configuration for the Multi-automation Module Industrial Robot Smart Arm in the
food and beverage industry for sorting and palletizing is as follows:
Core Module Selection
End-effector Module: Select the gripper type based on food packaging characteristics. For convenience
foods with standardized carton sizes and weight <25 kg, a claw-type gripper is recommended. For dairy
products, beverages, and other products with diverse packaging, a plate-type gripper or vacuum suction
cup is suggested to ensure grasping flexibility and stability.
Vision & Sensing Module: integrate a 3D vision system for dynamic sorting and precise positioning,
with a carton recognition accuracy rate of ≥99.8%. Force control sensors ensure even palletizing pressur
e to avoid package damage.
Industry-specific Solutions
Food & Beverage Industry: optimize module configurations for different sub-sectors:
Convenience Foods: primarily use claw-type grippers paired with high-speed sorting robotic arms for
efficient palletizing.
Dairy/Beverages: utilize vacuum suction cups or plate-type grippers combined with vision guidance syst
ems to handle diverse packaging formats.
Pet Food: pilot collaborative palletizing robots with compatibility for various packaging specifications.
Safety & Hygiene: modules must comply with food contact grade standards (e.g., FDA certification), with
materials being non-toxic, heat-resistant, and acid-alkali resistant to ensure production safety.
Technical Advantages
Flexible Deployment: No safety fencing required, reducing footprint by 40% compared to traditional ind
ustrial robots, and can be directly integrated into existing production lines.
Ease of Operation: Supports graphical programming, enabling zero-baseline workers to complete task
setup in just 30 minutes.
Load Capacity: Mainstream models offer load coverage from 5-40 kg, meeting the palletizing needs from
light to heavy packaging.
Real-world Applications
Starbucks Project: employs collaborative palletizing robots to complete the automation of coffee produ
ct intake, refrigeration, sorting, palletizing, and storage.
Leading Beverage Manufacturer Project: Enhances logistics distribution efficiency through automated
conveying, sorting, and palletizing systems.
Through these module configurations, the Multi-automation Module Industrial Robot Smart Arm signific
antly improves sorting and palletizing efficiency and flexibility in the food and beverage industry while
meeting hygiene and safety requirements.
