“While many applications within the food manufacturing space have been successfully automated, some gaps exist when it comes to high-mix automation, including the handling of prepared sandwiches, salads, and other meals. By augmenting robots with advanced AI, automation can be scaled to all parts of the food supply chain, starting with manufacturing.”

In the automation of food manufacturing, certain challenges are inherent to the industry, particularly when it comes to handling a highly variable mix of organic and delicate items. Rajat Bhageria, president of the AI-enabled robotics company Chef Robotics, sought to tackle this challenge head-on when he founded the company in 2019. In this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, Bhageria joins TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss Chef’s solutions for the food industry and how they can be used for difficult applications, whether it’s handling leafy greens and chicken breasts for fresh prepared meals or dealing with sticky foods like mac and cheese or peanut butter. Additional topics include the role of AI in paving the way for new automated tasks, conquering food industry automation challenges, and real-word examples of how Chef Robotics is automating food manufacturing.
