How we help you
-
Custom automation
Automated lines that optimise every stage of the process while respecting product fragility: quick-change grippers for different formats, filling and layering of ready meals, and trolleys, pallets and bins moved by AGVs.
-
Quality with machine vision
Real-time inspection of the shape, colour, size, texture and integrity of fresh, aged, dried and baked products; label and code verification and laser, ink-jet or UV marking for traceability.
-
Flexible robotics
Robots for delicate, irregular, wet or frozen products, for depositing, depanning and cutting, and for end-of-line tasks. HE versions for wet environments and aggressive washdown, with grippers designed around your product.
Applications in the food industry
Every system starts from the customer's product and process: here are some of the applications we build most often in this industry.
-
Pasta and ready meals
Handling of lasagne, cannelloni, tortellini and ravioli, filling and layering of ready meals with sauces and fresh pasta, and inspection of fresh and dried products.
-
Bakery products
Bread, biscuits, breadsticks and croissants: robotic depositing, scoring, dough ball shaping and depanning, plus trolleys moved by AGVs.
-
Industrial pastry
From cream dosing to handling cakes, single portions and biscuits, with robotic cutting and depanning and pastry trolleys moved without an operator.
-
Fresh and aged cheeses
Large whole wheels, portions and packaged products: quick-change grippers for every format and robots suited to the wet environments of the dairy.
-
Meat and plant-based alternatives
Irregularly shaped, wet or frozen pre-formed products: systems that adapt in real time to size and shape, with colour and texture inspection.
-
Bulk products
Dry and wet products, even in dusty environments: in-line quality control and handling from packs of just a few grams up to sacks and big bags.
-
Beverages
Alcoholic and soft drinks: product and label inspection, ink-free laser marking of glass and plastic bottles, even at high speed.
-
Bottled and preserved foods
High-speed lines with fragile products: inspection for foreign matter and non-conformities, labelling verification and palletizing of finished products.

Reference regulations and standards
We design and build our systems in line with safety regulations and industry standards, to support your certifications and audits.
- ISO 10218 – robot safety
- ISO 13849 – functional safety
- Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and CE marking
How we work
From the first visit to your plant to support after start-up: six phases in which every solution is designed, verified and built together with you.
-
01
Needs analysis
We start from your production goals, critical issues and workflows, with plant visits and analysis of the available data.
-
02
Feasibility and concept
We assess feasibility and define an automation concept tailored to your technical and operational requirements.
-
03
Simulation and validation
Using 3D and CAD models, we simulate and validate every solution together with you before moving on to construction.
-
04
Design and construction
We design and assemble the lines, integrating robotics and vision; the software is developed in-house, tailored to you.
-
05
Installation and integration
We install the system and connect it to your ERP and MES, integrating it with your existing processes and machines.
-
06
Training and support
We train your staff, provide the documentation and stay at your side over time with support and optimisation.
