Automation Canada - Automation in 2021 - 24

TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU MANUFACTURE
Adapt to changing environments with an integrated robotic solution.
Laura Studwell Omron's Industry Marketing
Manager for Food, Beverage, Packaging/Life
Sciences will walk us through the general
industry, application and environmental
needs. They will then address how robotics
are being employed in the Food & Beverage
industry and how Omron can walk alongside
the client from initial conception regarding the
use of robots right through to the point where
the client can see the value of their concept in
action on the facility floor. Marc points out that
" This process is not just about a robot or it's
automation components, it's about
developing a full solution that is integrated,
intelligent and interactive. " Here we will walk
you through the Omron journey so you can
realize how the industrial automation
company brings a concept to reality.
Robotic implementation is becoming more
prevalent in the Food & Beverage industry,
especially in our current climate. And when
focusing specifically on primary food handling

utilization of robotics to maintain the hygienic
demands of raw food handling.
In this regard, Omron presents a varied and
layered approach to meeting rigorous food
safety demands that are dictated by the food
and beverage industry. In this article, Panel

Omron's robotic offerings and takes an
in-depth look at how Omron works alongside
clients to understand and implement solutions
to meet their needs and achieve their goals.

And what steps are needed in the journey to
full robotic integration.
To answer these questions Marc Sansour,
Robotic Sales Specialist for Omron
Automation, Yannick Bertrand, Robotic
Applications Engineering Supervisor, and
WHY ARE ROBOTS BEING SO HEAVILY
USED AND WHAT ROBOTS ARE BEING
IMPLEMENTED IN F&B?
When considering the rapid rise in the use of
robots in Food & Beverage Laura noted that
" There are two main reasons we are seeing a
focus on automation solutions in the F&B
industry. The first, which has been unfolding
for the past 5 years, is newer, more stringent
regulations regarding food safety. 1/8
Canadians and 1/6 Americans are impacted
by foodborne illness each year. Depending on
