Description

Robotics in Consumer Goods, Packaging and Foodservice - Thematic Intelligence


Summary

This report investigates how robotics are improving the business operations of consumer goods, packaging, and foodservice companies.

There are well established use cases for robotics within the consumer goods and packaging industries. Both sectors have used caged industrial robots, industrial cobots, and logistics robots to automate production lines and logistics operations for some time now. Robotics do not fit as easily into the foodservice business model. Currently, simple food preparation tasks (such as burger flipping and wing frying) and meal delivery are the areas being explored by tech vendors.

Scope
  • Current robotics can add greater value to the consumer goods and packaging industries than they can to the foodservice industry. Developments in AI and cloud computing will enable robots to perform more complicated tasks (or the same tasks with greater precision).
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand which types of robots can add value to which areas of the consumer goods, packaging, and foodservice value chains. Identify the key tech vendors and the leading adopters of robotics within these sectors.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
