To keep food and beverage processing and packaging plants running efficiently, managers need up-to-date data about equipment health so they can catch issues early, but collecting data on asset operation in these plants is challenging. Many plants are short staffed and these facilities are large, loud, messy, and often include spaces that are dangerous and difficult to access.

Autonomous robots can provide a fast, reliable way to collect data and identify anomalies, but to provide the optimal benefit they must operate reliably, navigate difficult, unpredictable terrain, and collect data accurately and consistently day in and day out.

In this white paper, we explore:

  • Barriers to frequent, repeatable inspections
  • Applications for automated inspection with Spot
  • Success stories from Food and Beverage customers deploying Spot today
