When it comes to beverage operations, the incorporation of automation is laying the ground work to make a case for implementation of robotics.

Experts note that advanced robotics, AI technologies can transform warehouses, making beverage operations more dynamic, agile, responsive and safe.

Yaskawa Motoman unveiled the GP8L robot, featuring a versatile and extended reach. The six-axis robot was designed for extremely fast performance in a compact footprint, the company says.

A five-axis Delta robot is the latest innovation in ABB’s FlexPicker portfolio.

The latest addition to EndFlex’s lineup of case and tray packing machines is the PKR modular pick and place cell with delta robot. 

In beverage operations, where speed, agility and accuracy bring advantages, experts note that artificial intelligence (AI) is making the future of warehouses more dynamic.

Many warehouses are shifting toward the use of robotic lift trucks (RLTs), with recent industry surveys showing that the adoption of RLTs has increased 14% during the past year.

Automation is almost like a journey into space because there are so many broad terms to describe it. With the labor shortage continuing, the demand for industrial robots is expected to increase in the United States, China and Japan.

For an even wider range of manufacturing applications, ABB has expanded its OmniCore robot controller family with two new controllers: E10 and V250XT. 

ABB Robots and Zume partnered to automate production and provide a cost-effective alternative to single-use plastics.
