No. 01Your world

Food and beverage plants buy or lease AMRs, cobots, and floor-cleaning robots from Service Robot Co. AMRs move ingredients and finished goods between lines and storage, cobots handle repetitive packing, and scrubbers keep floors audit-ready. We deploy every unit, and RoboCare™ backs it with regional service engineers in every state we service.

No. 02The shift

A shift in your plant

From first shift to sanitation window, here is where the repetitive work automates.

  1. Stage 01

    First shift start

    Ingredients stage out from coolers and storage to the lines.

    What the robot takes

    AMRs run the ingredient moves so the line starts full.

  2. Stage 02

    Line feed

    Material keeps moving between lines, coolers, and docks all shift.

    What the robot takes

    The robots carry the repeat routes; people handle the changeovers.

  3. Stage 03

    End of line

    Cases get packed and pallets get stacked, hour after hour.

    What the robot takes

    A palletizing cobot takes the heavy, repetitive stacking.

  4. Stage 04

    Sanitation window

    Floors have to come back to audit standard before the next run.

    What the robot takes

    A scrubber runs a consistent mechanical pass instead of a rushed manual one.

  5. Stage 05

    Audit day

    The floor gets judged against the standard, unannounced.

    What the robot takes

    The same mapped pass every night keeps the floor inspection-ready.

No. 04The site survey

What decides whether it works.

The things we check on a walkthrough, before anyone talks about robots.

  1. 01

    The dock and staging floor

    Ingredients land at the dock and stage out to the lines. The floor between takes constant traffic, and a sweeper holds it between shifts.

  2. 02

    The line rate

    A cobot has to keep pace with the line. We confirm cycle rates on site before you commit.

  3. 03

    The sanitation window

    Floors come back to audit standard between runs. The mechanical pass has to fit the window.

The work that eats the week

The repetitive, physical, hard-to-staff ground in food & beverage manufacturing. This is what a robot takes.

  • Ingredient and finished-goods moves between lines, coolers, and docks eat labor every shift.
  • End-of-line packing and palletizing are repetitive jobs that strain a crew and suit an arm.
  • Floors face daily audits, and consistent mechanical scrubbing beats a rushed manual pass.
