Omron - Meet your new co-workers: how robotics is helping UK manufacturers overcome workforce challenges

Recording of FDF webinar hosted on  20/10/21


The FDF Podcast is sponsored by Clarke Energy

Human workers have been fundamental to the continued growth of British Food Production.  However, after the perfect storm of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, UK Industry is faced with, potentially, it’s biggest challenge yet: a massive shortfall in workers needed to keep the wheels in motion. 

Robotics, however, offer an increasingly attractive way out for producers across the supply chain.  From inbound ingredient handling to outbound logistics (and everything in between), the plethora of opportunities to fill gaps left by unfilled vacancies on your shop floor is boundless.
