We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Food Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Invest in robotic handling and raise profits from
ICS Robotics and Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Should users of packaging and materials handling make an investment in handling robots, they will generally see a return on investment within 6-18 months, said ICS".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Automation company joins robotics supplier from
Automation Supplies: "A company that provides bespoke automated systems for different industries including the food industry and the cement and steel industries is now an ABB Robotics partner".
In November 2007, we covered the news from PIAB
concerning its COAX cartridges - vacuum operation
- take a look at Designing for environmental material handling
which says: "Saving energy at every step is possible with today's innovative vacuum technology for your consumer goods manufacturing says Hala El Sheemy from PIAB".
Take a look also at the news release from Roemheld UK, Vices provide accuracy for 5-axis machining,
as well as Subcontractor adds on 5-axis die machining from Kingsbury Machine Tools,
and Levelling feet include hygenic variants from Arnott Handling Equipment.
