Low cost and fully integrated Robotic fruit & vegetable handling & packing line for distributors

英国的消费者经常会在货架上的盒子和空架子上寻找食物。在田地里，新鲜的水果和蔬菜被浪费了。农业严重依赖季节性海外工人带来作物，但随着英国脱欧，随后全国范围内的封锁，工人稀缺。由于COVID-19在全球范围内已感染100多万人，而且看不到尽头，因此需要采取长期措施，确保饥饿不会增加国家的担忧。迎接挑战的是人工智能领域的工程师。虽然对该行业来说并不新鲜，但人工智能从收集分析数据、卫生、包装和运输等方面提高了作物的产量。这使得农民可以用更少的钱做更多的事。在这一不确定时期，由于劳动力短缺，需要快速发展以确保维持粮食安全。英国的水果和蔬菜包装设施正在苦苦挣扎，答案在于机器人系统的快速整合，以采摘和包装新鲜农产品。在Wootzano，在相对较短的时间内取得了巨大的进步。通过使用我们新的创新的Wootzkin技术，水果和蔬菜包装设施可以减少他们对手工劳动的依赖，做灵巧的工作，可以有更持久和可靠的机器人系统为他们做这项工作。这些公司每年花费数百万英镑来招聘临时工，即使这样，他们也很难满足需求。使用Wootzkin，机器人可以像人类一样用自己的皮肤感受和感知。一个机器人系统可以潜在地取代至少一个人类工人，考虑到提高的生产率和更可靠的包装，预期的投资回报率约为1年。尽管缺乏工人，但企业不仅能够满足需求，而且还能适应疫情带来的更大压力。

UK consumers can be found scavenging amongst the boxes and empty shelves of the produce aisle. In the fields, fresh fruit and veg lay to waste. The agriculture industry heavily relied on seasonal overseas workers to bring in the crops but with Brexit, followed by a nationwide lockdown, workers are scarce.As COVID-19 reaches over 1 million worldwide with no foreseeable end, long term measures need to be taken to ensure hunger doesn't add to the nation's concerns. Rising to the challenge are engineers in the field of Artificial Intelligence.Although not new to the industry, AI has enhanced the production of crops from collecting analytical data, sanitation, packaging and delivery. This allows farmers to do a lot more with a lot less. With labour shortages during these uncertain times, rapid development is needed to ensure the food security is maintained.British fruit and vegetable packaging facilities are struggling and the answer lies in the rapid integration of robotic systems to pick and package fresh produce. At Wootzano, huge strides have been taken in a relatively short space of time. With the use of our new innovative Wootzkin technology, fruit and vegetable packaging facilities can reduce their reliance on manual human labour to do the dexterous jobs and can have more sustained and reliable robotic systems doing the job for them.Millions of pounds are spent each year by these companies just to recruit temporary labour and even then they struggle to meet the demand. Using Wootzkin, a robot can feel and sense like humans do with their own skin. One robotic system can potentially replace at least 1 human worker and an expected ROI is around 1 year taking into account the increased productivity and more reliable packaging.Despite the lack of workers, companies are not only able to meet demands, but also adjust to the increased pressure brought on the epidemic.
