Points to Consider
• Automation is not always about Equipment• What are the Automation Megatrends?
– Look to the OEM for clues– Yes, new equipment and conveyance, but– Connectivity functionality, built in…Why?
• Remote Monitoring and Services, and Use and Service
• Integrating the entire Value Chain, i.e. Business Processes

Progressive View of Automation
• Simplify the complexity of the manufacturing process
• Integrate value chain, equipment and process attributes into common platform
• Create operational transparency• Increase real time responsiveness

Future of Robotics and Automation
![Page 16: Process Automation: Better, faster, cheaper ─ Can you have all three?](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103015/551a80d4550346761a8b505e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Where Has Robotics and Automation Been Most Successful?
• Automotive• Electronics• Food
– Packaged product– Baked goods
![Page 17: Process Automation: Better, faster, cheaper ─ Can you have all three?](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103015/551a80d4550346761a8b505e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Makes Food Processing So Difficult?
• Product is not physically well defined• Product is slippery• Product is deformable• Speed of tasks• People think in terms of labor replacement• Wash-down
![Page 18: Process Automation: Better, faster, cheaper ─ Can you have all three?](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103015/551a80d4550346761a8b505e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Goal of Robotics and Automation• Lot size of one
– Every product is customized– Process is adapted to each product – not the product
must adapt to the process– Data collection is key
• New Processes• Equipment design
– Food safety designed into every piece of equipment– Wash-down
![Page 19: Process Automation: Better, faster, cheaper ─ Can you have all three?](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103015/551a80d4550346761a8b505e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Imagine a Future Where:• Each product’s key parameters are measured
are input• Based on current market parameters, process
is optimized for each individual product• Process is optimized for sustainability (energy
and water), food safety, yield, labor, floor space and animal welfare
