Increasing Demand in Applications
- Due to the inherent advantages of quality control, durability, hygiene and storage, these systems are widely used in a variety of products, including bakery, confectionery, meat, marine of food, poultry, dairy and cereal end-use industries especially in Asia Pacific, where rising domestic production and consumer incomes are driving innovation in this segment.
Restraints
Lack of Skilled Labor in Developing Countries
- Adoption and use of food robots require skilled personnel. There is a shortage of people with electrical, embedded, software, mechanical, etc. skills needed to install and maintain robots Furthermore, highly qualified workers with the specific skills needed to build robots high value mixed with advanced technology is rare. Countries with great potential to grow the food and beverage industry, such as China, India and Brazil, lack skills in this area. Because it takes a background in four or five technical skills to become an expert in the field, and because there are not enough qualified teachers to teach the disciplines, there are few branches of engineering that focus on robotics. This is a direct restraint for the food robot market as there can be enough skilled manpower only in the long term.
High Cost of Building Robotic Systems
- Most food manufacturers are reluctant to adopt automated methods because the cost of installation exceeds the cost of the robot. Additional costs for converting individual robots into complete robotic systems, peripherals such as safety barriers, sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLC), human-machine interface (HMI), and safety systems posing a challenge for market growth. In addition, there are technical costs for design, installation, and commissioning. These additional costs pose a challenge to the growth of the global market. Small and medium-sized businesses do not want to incur a high upfront installation cost as this can extend the time to reach the breakeven point.
