Robotics solutions at Agroprodmash 2025

The Russian Association of Robotics (RAR) and EXPOCENTRE hold the Conference on Robots in the Food Industry within the conference programme of Agroprodmash 2025.

The introduction of robotic solutions for the food industry market is not only a key factor in increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises, but is also a real solution to the problem of personnel shortage as it allows enterprises to maintain and increase production volumes even in conditions of shortage of specialists.

Today, the food industry is actively exploring the capabilities of robotics, taking one of the first places in terms of the number of robots used.

Speaking about trends in the robotization of food production, Anna Shavaleeva, a representative of Meridian Automation, a designer and manufacturer of robotic systems, outlined the main difficulties of robotization.

"This is a lack of own funds, since the introduction of robotics requires high initial investments. Outdated and unfitted premises. Lack of qualified professionals for maintenance. And the lack of a clear plan for the implementation of robotic solutions on the part of the customer,” said Anna Shavalleva.

The conference participants talked about the automation of current means of production, the prospects for robotization of food production, discussed some real cases, and analyzed the economic benefits of the introduction of robotic units.

The conference was attended by digitalization and robotics managers of different enterprises, and technologists and technical specialists of companies whose activities are related to food production, automation and robotics of the food processing industry.
