Recently, at the 2018 World Robotics Conference, the expert committee released here "robot Ten Emerging Applications research report", including the food industry subdivision application areas including warehousing and logistics, consumer goods processing and manufacturing, building and indoor distribution.
With the rapid development of robotics and artificial intelligence technology, we ushered in a new era, robots are driving the food industry in many areas of transformation and upgrading.
Top ten emerging application areas to announce robot boost food industry transformation and upgrade
Warehousing and Logistics: Open Global Intelligence logistics The storage robot can use artificial intelligence algorithm and large data to perform various tasks.
On the one hand, the area that takes a long time to arrive or inaccessible area, the UAV has the advantage not to be affected by the road condition, also will successfully get through the city and the remote mountainous area logistics route. Recently, 2018 of the most innovative black technology TOP20, a well-known logistics enterprises in the unmanned warehouse, the distribution of robots both into the list. It is understood that the unmanned warehouse realized from the warehousing, storage, packaging, sorting the entire flow of the system of intelligent and unmanned.
In addition, the distribution robot in 618 this year also took the lead in completing the world's first social road scene distribution, this marks the independent research and development of China's logistics unmanned Warehouse intelligent control system, is opening up the future of global intelligent logistics, and unmanned distribution robot with the courier to match, greatly enhance the ' last kilometer ' operational efficiency.
Consumer goods processing and manufacturing: Realizing the automation of food industry, intelligent operation Robots can play the role of production transformation, promote food, clothing and other consumer goods will be around the miniaturization, light and precision development, and gradually realize the process of manufacturing automation, intelligent operation.
It is reported that China Aerospace Technology group developed a space manipulator to become a ' milk tea robot ', 1-2 minutes to produce a cup of personalized tea, not only improve the production efficiency of milk tea, but also save labor costs for enterprises. We know that in food production and processing there will be a number of processes, such as sorting, packaging, testing, handling, palletizing and so on, which requires collaboration with the robot.
In the World Robot Exhibition, a company independent research and Development of light cooperative robot, with industrial texture and technology dynamic perfect combination of design, known as the design industry ' Oscar ', the German Red Dot award 2018 evaluation of the fore.
According to the relevant personnel introduced, its collaboration ability is particularly strong, has the operation Security, saves the space and so on the characteristic, simultaneously its uses four joints, six degrees of freedom design, may the nimble completion handling, the sorting, the packing, the quality inspection and so on process, satisfies the small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprise or the food processing enterprise many varieties, the small
Building and indoor distribution: improving delivery speed saves time and effort Relying on map construction, trajectory planning and machine vision, robots can provide trans-floor logistics and distribution. Some sites can be introduced into mobile robots, to provide users with point-to-point distribution services. It is reported that Hangzhou, Zhejiang province Yuhang Dream Town to use the UAV ' takeout brother ' to send coffee, around the purchase of freight 3 yuan, 10 minutes delivery.
In addition, the unmanned drone of the ant from this January began to send coffee take-away, has been flying more than 150 times, the average distribution time of 7 minutes, these have achieved across the floor, point-to-point food delivery, improve the delivery speed, save time and manpower.
Small series concluding remarks The development and application of robots will have a profound impact on the production patterns and lifestyles of human society. "China Robot Industry Development Report 2018" shows that the global robotics industry in 2017, the scale of more than 25 billion U.S. dollars, is expected to reach nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars in 2018.
Among them, industrial robot industry scale is bigger and the market grows faster, the speed has reached more than 30%. In many fields of food industry, robot application not only satisfies the needs of enterprise transformation and upgrade, improves production efficiency, saves labor cost, but also guarantees product quality safety.
