Chef's AI-enabled robots use shielded utensils and deep learning vision models to precisely place ingredients into small compartments and inserts within a meal tray.

Food manufacturers need specialized food processing equipment to prevent contamination, ensure batch consistency, maintain product quality, and comply with regulatory requirements. This guide covers essential food manufacturing equipment, including metal detectors, checkweighers, weighing scales, industrial mixers, homogenizers, blast chillers, and labeling systems from leading manufacturers.

AI-powered robotic assembly teams up with advanced packaging systems to transform fresh and frozen meal manufacturing

Piece-picking enables Chef robots to segment, lift, and place individual food items such as chicken breasts, burger patties, and sauce cups rather than portioning by weight or volume. This expands what food manufacturers can automate on their production lines.

A guide to leading food automation companies in the US and Canada. Compare equipment across denesting, conveying, meal assembly, tray sealing, and case packing. Learn which problems each type of equipment solves and how to choose the right automation partner for your production constraints.

Discover the Chef+ robot with doubled ingredient capacity, enhanced food safety design, three-camera vision, and self-leveling feet for automated meal assembly in food manufacturing facilities.

Chef’s pat-down capability helps food manufacturers automate the manual task of spreading and flattening ingredients inside prepared meal trays before sealing.

Chef Robotics and ILPRA are partnering to provide food manufacturers with a flexible, end-to-end automation solution for meal assembly and packaging.

The joint solution combines Chef’s AI focus and flexibility with Proseal’s robust, high-quality tray sealing machines and packaging solutions to provide food manufacturers with a flexible end-to-end solution for their meal assembly and packaging needs.

Multi-deposit gives a single Chef robot the ability to utilize two or three utensils at a time, providing an industry-first 1:1 worker equivalent.

We’re excited to announce that Chef robots can now serve very sticky ingredients like mac and cheese, peanut butter, cream cheese, beef birria, and chipotle chicken.

Chef’s latest modules feature feet that are adjustable with the touch of a button.

Marking the most recent addition to our ingredient lineup, Chef robots can now serve leafy greens such as romaine and iceberg lettuce, slaw, spinach, spring mix, and kale for fresh food manufacturers across the US and Canada.

This certification means that our robots are sanitary, easy to clean, and made of food-safe materials.

Food manufacturers can now use our robots to pick and place curries with saucy bases and chunks of protein during meal assembly.
