In
the food and beverage industry various factors that are driving the use of
automation over human labor are, hygienic and contamination free production
areas, improved speed and efficiency, reduced product damage and the changing
sales patterns. Increased productivity and optimized end product are also the
key drivers in the use of industrial robots. It also helps in offsetting the
associated labor costs related with production, and are a necessity in the
market where the competition has intensified, government regulations are
becoming stringent and the retailer demands are ever increasing.

Food and beverages industry has many uses for the industrial robotics including but not limited to packaging, processing and ‘pick and place’. Retail packaging and palletizing are the most sought after uses of robotics of which, the food and beverage industry leads in the retail packaging industry globally. The associated initial investment cost in installment and maintenance, smooth adoption and social concern around use of robots over humans may act as a hindrance to quick adoption of industrial robotics.
The
food and beverage industrial robotics market is segmented by application in
Palletizing, ‘Packaging and Repacking’, ‘Picking and Placing’ and ‘Production
and Processing’. Of these, the palletizing robotics segment holds the largest
section of market with almost two of every three applications based on
palletizing capability and is expected to grow even further. This is largely
made possible by the easy handling of objects and the consistency with which it
operates. The Packaging and Repacking segment follows the Palletizing segment
in terms of applications and volume it caters to.
On
the basis of product, the robotics market is segmented into following segments,
Articulated robots, SCARA robots, Delta robots and Cartesian robots. The
Articulated robots find most wide spread use amongst others and are expected to
maintain their dominance in market share. Articulated robots offer a higher
degree of flexibility, and hence are useful in packaging, picking and
palletizing and are predicted to maintain their growth at the highest rate.
Segmentation
of industrial robotics market based on region is done in five major zones,
namely, North America, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, Middle East and Africa
(MEA), and Latin America. In terms of annual revenue and sales volume the Asia
Pacific region leads others and is followed by European region and North
American region. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow strongest owing to
the growing market potential of South Asian countries.
The
industrial robotics market in food and beverage industry is well diversified
with international, regional and local players, yet the majority of market
share is held by a few key players. The global key players in industrial
robotics market are, ABB Ltd, FANUC Corp., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., KUKA
AG and YASKAWA Electric Corp. There are some other prominent vendors too like,
Adept Technology, Dento Robotics, Epson Robotics, Nachi Fujikoshi Robotics
Systems Inc., Pari Technology, Staubli Robotics, and Yamaha Robotics.
Intense
competition in the market and growing demand is leading vendors to explore new
avenues in the industrial robotics market. They are looking for new
opportunities and differentiating products from their competitors and increase
competitiveness by heavily depending upon R&D. Development of collaborative
robots, application specific robots and increased penetration in SMEs maybe the
key market drivers in the coming years.
In
2014, FANUC launched Green Collaborative Robot CR-35iA, which does not require
a safety fence. These robots can work with human operators and stops when it
comes in contact with humans. They are equipped with R-30iB controllers which
provide intelligence and networking functions for versatile applications.
In
May 2016, TM Robotics and Toshiba Machine Robotics have announced their
partnership with M.A.P. services. This will give MAP access to wide range of
solutions for its manufacturing and production customers. Toshiba Machine
Industrial Robots offer Cartesian, 6-Axis and SCARA robots and they plan to
sell top notch robots in Australia.
