Notes

The Robotic Potato
The Robotic Potato has a number of advantages over its manual counterpart. Firstly, the automated process eliminates damage to the potatoes, thereby reducing returns. Secondly, it uses a gentle placement technique to place the bags into the MU at a maximum drop height of 25 mm. A human worker would simply not have the time to handle potatoes with the same level of care during a full shift. The robotic process also ensures that the stillages are angled at 5 degrees from horizontal to prevent tumbling, and helps the stillages build a neat stack during transportation. Finally, when the stillages are full, they are automatically indexed into a filling station and despatched.

Telescopic slipsheet depositor

Telescopic slipsheet depositors are ideal for many palletizing applications, including robotic and pick and place applications. They eliminate bumps and other imperfections on potatoes, while ensuring the highest food safety and quality standards. In addition, slip sheet handling equipment saves valuable packing space and makes labor-intensive tasks simpler and faster.

UniPaker robotic pick-and-place cell

The UniPaker robotic pick-and place cell is a high-speed pick-and-place robot that can pack multiple packages at once. It runs at a speed of 100 parts per minute (ppm) and is equipped with multiple end-effectors. The UniPaker's vacuum head helps to gently handle the products it packs. It can also be adapted for a variety of materials.

Originally designed to pack apples and potatoes, the UniPAKer robotic pick-and-place cell has proven to be an effective solution for packing fresh produce and vegetables. Its unique design features four arms and a suction end-effector that can detect and orient packs in a manner similar to human workers.

The UniPaker robotic pick-and place cell can load a variety of potato bags at a rate of 75 packs per minute. It has the ability to load two different potato bags at the same time and loads them into crates with precision. The cell is part of an overall investment in warehouse efficiency and has already helped Morrisons cut labour costs by up to 90%. Its dual high-payload Omron Delta robots load and unload packs in a pre-set pattern.

The UniPAKer robotic pick-and-place cell has a compact footprint that enables the system to handle multiple applications and maintain a minimal capital outlay. Its flexible design allows for multiple robots to work in tandem and achieve desired crate presentation in a much faster time than a single robot can. Because the robots share the same infeed and outfeed, operations are simplified and capital outlay is reduced. The UniPAKer robots are capable of handling a wide range of products, including produce, fruit, and veg without a tray.

Challenger Big Potato

Big Potato is a robot from the city of Boston in the United States. It was one of the contestants in This is Fighting Robots Season 1.5. Learn More entered the competition as a challenger and did not make it past the challenger round. The potato is an excellent choice for French fries and chips. It has the advantages of being easy to clean, low in fat, durable, and resistant to disease and pests. In addition, its golden colour makes for perfect fry colour.

The Challenger potato has a long growing season, a 90 to 100-day harvest period, and a yield of about 43 tons per hectare. Despite the high yields, this variety is very difficult to grow. Challenger tubers are light yellow, with rough skin and shallow eyes. It is not recommended for sandy soils.
