Will COVID-19 drive greater adoption of robot automation in the food sector?
With the UK food and beverage sector considered to be slow at adopting robot automation when compared to many of its European counterparts, an expert panel ZOOM’d in to discuss the barriers and challenges facing the sector, and what needs to be done to bring about positive change?
You can now watch a highlights video from the BARA Roundtable, which features some of the salient points from the webinar. A media summary is also available, along with a separate Qs&As page.
