Contributing to solving labor shortages at food processing sites and issues in data collection
In the food industry and food processing factories, which are Mayekawa's main customer base, are faced with chronic labor shortages, and labor saving and improvement of production efficiency are elements that are always in demand.
"Due to the labor shortage caused by the Covid pandemic, there is a growing trend in the food industry and meat processing facilities to consider automation (implementation of machines) in the production process. Particularly in the poultry processing industry, chicken deboning requires skilled techniques, so the introduction of automatic deboning and bone removal equipment can significantly alleviate the labor shortage.
However, SMEs often do not have sufficient funds to make capital investments, and it is Mayekawa's future challenge to search for solutions that meet demand based on such circumstances.
It is important to have the opportunity to meet directly with our customers who use our machines on a daily basis to hear their opinions. At this exhibition, we were able to sense a further increase in demand for the implementation of food processing machinery and production line improvements," said Mr. Kitti, sales manager.
