Case: Robotic arm with food contact in automated production<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"Robotarm<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Automation places new demands on food contact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several companies in the food industry today use robots to handle food \u2013 for example, for picking, dosing and packaging. When a robot arm is directly involved in food contact<\/strong>, there is often uncertainty about which rules apply and how to ensure correct documentation. Robotic arms with food contact therefore require a precise assessment of materials and contact zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robotic arm with food contact \u2013 the challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Danish food company needed to implement a robotic arm in an automated production line where the robot had direct contact with food. Although the robot as a machine was CE marked, there were doubts about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
