Stäubli Robotics: focus on process reliability and hygiene

  • 07 April 2026

Stäubli Robotics and Qing Food Automation are presenting a new demo at the exhibition, specifically developed for Interpack (Düsseldorf) and Food Tech Event (Den Bosch). The demo highlights the successful collaboration between both companies, which in recent years has resulted in strong projects such as a fully automated quality inspection system for rusk at the well-known Dutch brand Bolletje.

Production processes must become continuously faster, more efficient and more sustainable, while maintaining consistent quality. In the food industry, product diversity adds an extra layer of complexity. Innovation and smart automation therefore offer clear advantages. To address this, QING has developed the AI-driven STAQ platform. This system combines vision AI, a Stäubli robot and advanced software, enabling it to handle variation and the fragility of food products effectively.

Be sure to visit the joint booth of Stäubli Robotics and Qing Food Automation to see the STAQ system in operation. Find out what this technology package can offer your business, whether you are an integrator, machine builder or end user.

In the food industry, hygiene and food safety are essential. A key aspect of this is hygienic design, where smart machine and robot design is crucial for thorough cleaning. A well-designed hygienic setup reduces the risk of bacterial contamination within production. Stäubli’s food-grade robots are a strong example of hygienic design in practice. These robots are specifically designed for hygienic and humid environments, with every aspect focused on minimising contamination risks. Stäubli’s food-grade robots follow the guidelines of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), widely recognised as the industry standard.

During the event, you can see the TS2-80 HE (Humid Environment) SCARA robot in operation. This robot offers a reach of 800 mm, a payload of 8.4 kg and repeatability up to ±0.015 mm.
