About this listen

The robots are coming! Well, in food and beverage processing, robotics and automation are already here, sure — but what we see today pales in comparison to what the future may hold. Berk Pehlivanoglu and Ozan Ozaskinli of Value Gene Consulting Group join the Food For Thought podcast to talk about an in-depth report their firm released in January, titled “How Humanoids Will Reshape Food Manufacturing.”

Ozaskinli and Pehlivanoglu talk about the humanoid robots currently in development, the shortcomings of the technology at the moment, the projected total cost of ownership of humanoids for food processors, and the technological advancement still needed to reach reliable use in food processing. And, they say, food processors should begin to think about how to capitalize on this innovation now — because implementation of humanoids in food and beverage processing isn’t as far away as some might think.
