OverviewViscon introduces the SwiftPick™ avocado solution: a dedicated pick & place machine developed specifically for packing avocados. The solution automates tray unstacking, dual avocado placement and infeed loading to packing machines, delivering high capacity within a compact footprint.
Key features- 4x as much handling per m²
- Dual avocado placement (pairs)
- Flexible integration into existing packing lines
Maximum efficiency within a minimal footprintThanks to its compact design, the SwiftPick™ machine performs up to four times as many handling actions per m² compared to traditional Delta robots, optimising production space and reducing capital and operational costs.
Optimized dual packaging for avocados- Efficient tray unstacking designed for secure and stable handling of avocados
- SwiftPick™ pick & place robotics accurately positions avocados in pairs to ensure perfect alignment
- Seamless flow packing: selects fruits and places them on the infeed of the packing machine while maintaining high capacity
Benefits for the avocado industryBy automating both unstacking and positioning, the solution reduces reliance on manual labour and helps address absenteeism and labour variability. The modular design enables straightforward incorporation into existing production lines and adaptability to changing production demands. The machine targets improved efficiency, consistent quality and sustainability while minimising resource use.
