To celebrate World Vegan Day, meet our client: Linseed 🌾 Linseed, Finnish flaxseed product manufacturer, turned to Kometos to help them streamline and optimize their production. Their needs and objectives were clear: ✅ The dosing and packaging line should be operated only by one person. ✅ The line should be compatible with Linseed’s current bag-type packaging. ✅ Space in the production plant was tight so a custom solution was a must. The end solution is an efficient dosing and packaging line that utilizes robotics to automate repetitive tasks. Manual labour is reduced to a minimum, and the small team's skills can be put to better use. 💪 If you want to learn more about new innovations and developments in the food industry, follow us or contact our experts 📬 #foodindustry #foodtech #foodinnovation

🌶 Savoring Success with Robotics in Salsa Production 🌶 El Pinto Foods, a well-established restaurant and manufacturer, has taken a significant leap forward in efficiency by integrating robotics into their production process. Known for their diverse range of products—salsas, sauces, marinades, and more—El Pinto Foods needed a solution that could handle the complexity of their packaging formats, including glass jars, plastic bottles, and single-serve cups. New Mexico Sales Engineer, Annalise Hildebrand, worked closely with the El Pinto Foods team to implement the new system. By integrating a Universal Robots Robot and a custom pneumatic gripper, with support from our friends at COVAL Vacuum Technology, we were able to streamline a labor-intensive task that once required 3-4 employees down to just 2. The success of this initiative not only addressed their immediate operational challenges but also inspired confidence in the broader potential of robotic integration throughout their processes. The future of salsa production is here, and it's being driven by innovation and automation! Curious to learn more about how robotics is revolutionizing salsa production?

🤖A new robot will palletize our cans for any of the European standards: a great technology leap to facilitate the work of Scandinavian and all European customers. At NOMOQ, we're always enhancing every aspect of our production process, from design to delivery. One recent development is adjusting our pallet sizing to meet the needs of our customers in Scandinavia, who use larger pallets compared to other European markets.  While some of our Scandinavian clients have adapted to our previous pallet sizes, we knew we could do more to make the process smoother and safer for all producers. That’s where our new high-tech robot comes in. This cutting-edge technology allows us to adapt pallet sizes to any European standard, ensuring a perfect fit for our Scandinavian customers.  To officially launch our new offering and meet with incredible craft brewers from across the Scandinavian beverage market, the NOMOQ team are excited to attend this year's Great Swedish Beer Festival taking place on the 13-14 of September.    With our new solution, we can now guarantee a safer and more efficient de-palletizing process for everyone, while continuing to deliver the high-quality cans that NOMOQ is known for.  So come and visit us at the Great Swedish Beer Festival, we can’t wait to see you there and discuss all things can design, production and of course pallet sizing.   Dig into the topic by reading the article in our story section https://lnkd.in/dHtvgHST #innovation #scandinavianmarket #beverageindustry #robotics #beerfestival #NOMOQ
