Picks, Places, and Loads Bakery Products
The COOKIEBOT from Royal Houdijk revolutionizes bakery production with its vision-guided, flexible robotic Pick & Place system. Uniquely designed for the bakery sector, it efficiently handles a variety of baked goods, including cookies, croissants, and doughnuts. This system features a multi-robot setup, each equipped to operate in three axes for precise positioning, with grippers customizable for vacuum or mechanical handling. It supports high-speed continuous operations by employing an advanced vision system for accurate product inspection and sorting, ensuring only qualified items proceed to packaging. Tailored for seamless integration with existing packaging lines, COOKIEBOT reduces downtime with effortless tool-less changeovers between product types and sizes. Built to withstand 24/7 bakery environments, it emphasizes maintainability and cleanability, offering CIP options to ensure hygiene standards are met. The system’s modular design allows adaptation to specific production needs, enhancing throughput and efficiency, making it a vital component for food processing companies and confectionery manufacturers aiming to optimize their packaging lines.
