Opportunities: Increasing functionality of robots

Traditionally, the functionality and use of robots was limited to heavy payload in transportation equipment manufacturing. However, with the increasing functionality of robots more industries, such as the food processing industry are adopting automation with mainly low payload robots. Sections such as dairy and bakery in the food & beverage industry are minimizing human contact in the production process in order to comply with health authority standards. There is an opportunity for the food robotics market to grow with the increase in functionality of robots to include packaging, repackaging, and palletizing.

Challenges: High installation cost of robotic system

Most food manufacturers are reluctant to adopt automated processes due to the installation cost over and above the price of the robot. The added cost to turn the individual robots into a comprehensive robotic system, peripheral equipment such as safety barriers, sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLC), human machine interface (HMI), and safety systems is a challenge for market growth. Additionally there are engineering costs for programming, installation, and commissioning. These additional costs pose a challenge for the growth of the food robotics market. Small- and medium-scale manufacturers are reluctant to incur high initial costs of installation as it could extend the period to achieve the break-even point.
