New developments in robotics for fresh produce packaging at Fruit Logistica 2023

The market is unstable, but the fresh produce sector is resilient and versatile. This is an essential industry that is attracting a lot of investment in the current context. In addition, this industry is committed to digitalization and MAF RODA can add a lot of value since it offers a wide variety of solutions in digitalization and process automation. That's the kind of proposal that the company will present at this year's Fruit Logistica in Berlin.

Visitors will be able to see the great advances in robotics carried out by the MAF RODA Group innovation centers, especially in handling solutions. These solutions are capable of packing fruits in a specific position. Until now, this process could only be done manually, and now, thanks to the introduction of artificial vision, we can also automate it.

MAF RODA is specialized in robotics. Some time ago, the company bets on robotics, creating a specific department that has been working on high-impact R&D projects and has launched various products on the market, such as handling robots. These robots improve the performance and profitability of a packaging line since they are capable of fitting the fruit with a certain orientation. Therefore, these machines meet the requirements of growers to automate this process.

Currently, the MAF RODA Group has fruit-oriented packaging solutions for apples, kiwis, peaches, and nectarines. At Fruit Logistica, the company will showcase a great novelty for citrus fruits.

The full range of fruit-oriented packaging solutions will be exhibited at the MAF RODA booth (Hall 4.1, booth C10 D01). The MAF RODA Team will invite all visitors to check out the precision and performance of their packaging systems.

The company will showcase the Pack Master Kiwi K1, the Fast Pack Peach launched at Fruit Attraction 2022, the Line Pack 4R integrated with the Uniway calibrator and the G7 quality system, and the great launch of this edition for citrus, the Pack Master Citrus. Finally, the Pack Master Citrus will be the novelty in this year's Fruit Logistica.
