This report investigates how robotics are improving the business operations of consumer goods, packaging, and foodservice companies.
There are well established use cases for robotics within the consumer goods and packaging industries. Both sectors have used caged industrial robots, industrial cobots, and logistics robots to automate production lines and logistics operations for some time now. Robotics do not fit as easily into the foodservice business model. Currently, simple food preparation tasks (such as burger flipping and wing frying) and meal delivery are the areas being explored by tech vendors.

Scope
- Current robotics can add greater value to the consumer goods and packaging industries than they can to the foodservice industry. Developments in AI and cloud computing will enable robots to perform more complicated tasks (or the same tasks with greater precision).
Reasons to Buy
- Understand which types of robots can add value to which areas of the consumer goods, packaging, and foodservice value chains. Identify the key tech vendors and the leading adopters of robotics within these sectors.
