Industrial robotics has become a key player in modern industry, leading to a true transformation in factories. This change is particularly visible in the Food & Beverage and pharmaceutical sectors, where the demand for innovative and safe solutions is continuously growing. D.C.M., through its solid experience and commitment to excellence, has responded to this need with cutting-edge solutions that combine robotics and automation to optimize production processes, increase efficiency, and ensure high safety standards.
The Importance of Safety and Hygiene in Food Production
In the Food & Beverage sector, food safety is a top priority. The hygienic design of machines and plants, especially for primary packaging, plays a crucial role in protecting food products.
Alessandro Casiraghi, President of D.C.M., emphasizes how the proper design of machinery is essential to avoid the accumulation of product residues and detergents. “Our customers, ranging from coffee to chocolate to bakery products, require high hygienic standards. For this reason, the ease of cleaning materials and surfaces is essential.”
The Hygienic Design robotic solutions offered by D.C.M., under the autonox Robotics brand, are designed to comply with the strictest safety and hygiene protocols, thanks to the use of food-compliant materials and protection up to IP69K.
These robots feature an advanced cleaning system with pressure washers capable of reaching 28 bar, ensuring rapid and efficient cleaning even under the most challenging conditions.
D.C.M.’s offering is not limited to primary packaging. The range of industrial robots under the autonox Robotics brand includes highly performing models such as Duo-pods, 3 to 5-axis Delta robots, Articulated robots, and Scara robots, which meet the needs of various stages of the production process.
A particularly appreciated aspect by customers is the independence of the controller. “Our customers are free to choose the controller they prefer without having to learn new programming languages,” explains Casiraghi. This autonomy allows for easy integration of robots into existing lines without the need for complicated interfacing processes.
Sustainability and Innovation with Kraus
D.C.M. is not limited to robotics. The company is also the exclusive distributor in Italy of Kraus solutions for packaging and labeling, particularly in the Food & Beverage sector. Kraus machines, designed to operate at industrial speeds, have evolved to meet the growing demands for sustainability.
The machines are now capable of handling products made with recyclable materials, such as disposable cutlery, trays, containers, and single-dose packets, which are efficiently singled out and dispensed.
Continuous innovation is also reflected in the Labeljack labeling system. This system is particularly appreciated for its high cycle speed and precise label placement, allowing for high customizations that meet the needs of an increasingly demanding market.
A Commitment to Productivity and Customization
D.C.M.’s approach is clear: to ensure an increase in productivity and continuous improvement of its customers’ production processes. “Our goal is to provide ever more innovative and customized solutions, carefully listening to the customer’s needs,” concludes Casiraghi.
With a range of solutions spanning from robotics for primary and secondary packaging to dispensing and labeling systems, D.C.M. continues to respond to the challenges of a rapidly evolving market, with a strong focus on quality, safety, and sustainability.
