Palletising plays a crucial role in tertiary packaging and supply chain logistics for the food industry. It involves grouping and stacking food products on a pallet to facilitate their safe and efficient storage, handling, and transport as a unit load.
With the food and beverage industry subject to more stringent quality and safety standards, food processing companies are increasingly looking for optimised, custom-built robotic palletising solutions to ensure supply quality, reduce labour costs, increase production capacity to meet high-volume demands and stay competitive in the changing business landscape.

Applications of robotics in the food industry
The use of food robotics and automation is gaining momentum in the food processing industry, which is characterised by a wider variety of products, packaging types and handling methods.
Food companies are increasingly adopting innovative robotic solutions in different food manufacturing, processing, and packaging applications to achieve quality control, increase productivity and supply chain efficiency, cut labour costs, improve product and workforce safety, maintain brand reputation, and maximise profitability.
Apart from packaging and palletising, robotics has many applications in the food industry, ranging from cutting meat and vegetables to collecting milk, stirring curd, and slicing cheese, and from cleaning, sorting, and blending raw materials to food preparation, product sorting, defect removal, decoration, and labelling.
