Automation is the application of equipment and technology to produce products with the goal of reducing the amount of human intervention, improving the process, and increasing productivity.
Automation of food production processes that are typically performed by people can benefit a food plant in many ways: reduced labour, higher throughput, higher quality, greater product consistency, and improvement in food safety. As with all choices, there are trade-offs when weighing up the level of automation needed.
