The food industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by the need to improve production efficiency and ensure the highest safety standards for workers. Automation plays a crucial role in this evolution, allowing companies to optimize workflows while reducing human intervention in physically demanding and repetitive tasks.
In this context, Verinox, a leader for over 50 years in the design and production of thermal processing systems for food products, introduces Vox, the innovative robot for loading and unloading in food processing plants. This new solution will be showcased at IFFA, the leading international trade fair for the meat and alternative protein industry, in Frankfurt.
Uncompromising automation
Traditional loading and unloading methods in food processing plants often involve physically demanding work, which can lead to fatigue, workplace injuries, and inconsistencies in the production cycle.
Vox was created with a clear goal: to overcome the limitations of manual loading and unloading, ensuring a safer, faster, and more efficient process. Seamlessly integrating into existing production layouts, Vox eliminates the issues associated with repetitive and strenuous tasks, improving working conditions for operators and increasing overall productivity.
With Vox, Verinox offers a high-performance alternative that not only enhances workflow continuity but also ensures a safer working environment by reducing human exposure to strenuous tasks.
Efficiency and versatility without limits
Unlike traditional solutions, Vox operates continuously, without the limitations imposed by human labor or conventional automation constraints.
The robot is designed to handle loading and unloading without restrictions on:
•Weight: It can move loads of any size, eliminating the risk of excessive strain on operators.
• Heights: It operates at various heights without requiring manual intervention.
• Time: It works 24/7 without interruptions, optimizing production times.
• Temperatures: It withstands and operates in extreme temperatures, typical of cooking and pasteurization processes.
• Distances: It covers long distances within the facility, ensuring smooth and efficient product movement.
Smart integration with cooking and pasteurization systems
One of the most remarkable aspects of Vox is its integration with continuous thermal processing systems, such as cooking and pasteurization units.
The robot is engineered to manage the loading and unloading of products—including pre-packaged food items—at critical entry points, ensuring a streamlined production process.
By minimizing direct human contact with food products, Vox significantly reduces the risk of contamination, ensuring compliance with strict hygiene and safety regulations.
This level of automation not only enhances food safety but also improves overall consistency in product quality. By automating these crucial steps, Verinox enables food processing companies to maintain a high standard of production while adhering to industry best practices.
Smart control for a connected production process
Vox is not just a handling robot; it is an intelligent system fully integrated with production management software. Its operation is controlled via a centralized control panel, allowing real-time monitoring and optimization of workflow.
This integration helps reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and ensure maximum traceability of processes.
