FoodPro 2026 is the country’s premier event for food manufacturing, processing and packaging, bringing together the latest technologies, suppliers and industry experts under one roof. As Aussie food and beverage manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, reduce labour shortages, and build more resilient operations this is the perfect time to see how robotics can be designed to best fit real world production lines.
This year, we are out and about with Freelance Robotics, exhibiting alongside Robotiq, showcasing one of the world’s most advanced collaborative palletising solutions – the PE20 Palletiser.
If you’re looking to automate end-of-line palletising, improve throughput or simply understand what collaborative robotics can do for your business, Stand AJ49 is a must-visit.
FoodPro is much more than a trade show—it’s an opportunity to see the latest manufacturing technologies working in real production environments.
By attending you’ll be able to:
- Discover the latest automation technologies for food and beverage manufacturing
- Speak directly with robotics and automation specialists
- Compare solutions from leading international suppliers
- Learn practical ways to improve productivity and reduce labour dependency
- See equipment operating live before making investment decisions
- Network with manufacturers facing similar operational challenges
Whether you’re responsible for production, engineering, operations or business improvement, FoodPro offers valuable insights into the future of manufacturing.
See the Robotiq PE20 Live
The highlight of our stand will be the Robotiq PE20 Collaborative Palletiser, demonstrated throughout the exhibition.
Fast Deployment
The PE20 is a complete turnkey palletising solution that can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to production.
Collaborative Operation
Built around Universal Robots technology, the PE20 safely works alongside people without the complexity of traditional industrial palletising cells.
Handles Real Production
The PE20 is engineered for continuous industrial operation while remaining simple enough for operators to use every day.
Intelligent Software
Robotiq’s intuitive palletising software allows new pallet patterns to be created in minutes rather than hours.
Compact Footprint
Ideal for manufacturers where factory floor space is at a premium.
Flexible for Changing Products
Perfect for businesses producing multiple products or packaging formats that require frequent changeovers.
Experience the IQ Platform
At FoodPro 2026, you’ll also have the opportunity to learn about Robotiq IQ – the company’s brand new AI-enabled platform that is changing how palletising projects are designed, evaluated and deployed.
Traditionally, evaluating an automation project could involve weeks of meetings, engineering reviews, site visits and manual calculations before determining whether a solution was even feasible. IQ transforms that process by providing a structured, data-driven approach from the very first conversation.
What is Robotiq IQ?
IQ is an intelligent project platform that helps manufacturers and integrators design the right palletising solution faster and with greater confidence. Drawing on the experience of more than 1,000 Robotiq palletising deployments, IQ captures your operational requirements, analyses your production environment and generates a validated workcell design before equipment is installed.
Rather than relying on assumptions, IQ provides a structured assessment that reduces engineering effort and helps de-risk automation projects from the outset. For manufacturers considering automation, IQ helps answer the questions that matter most:
- Is collaborative palletising the right fit for my production line?
- What throughput can I realistically achieve?
- What return on investment can I expect?
- How much floor space will I need?
- How quickly can the system be deployed?
The IQ platform includes a range of powerful tools that support every stage of an automation project, including:
- 5-minute Fit Check to quickly determine whether palletising is suitable for your application.
- Project Control Centre that keeps manufacturers, integrators and stakeholders aligned throughout the project.
- Voice and File Capture, allowing drawings, PDFs, conversations and site information to be converted into actionable project data.
- 3D Factory Scanning to accurately capture your available floor space.
- Digital Workcell Simulation, validating robot reach, cycle times, payloads and pallet configurations before installation begins.
See What’s Next for Automation
As a Robotiq partner, Industrial Robotics can demonstrate how IQ complements the PE20 palletiser by making automation projects faster to scope, easier to justify and more predictable to deploy.
If you’re considering palletising automation – whether for one production line or an entire facility – visit Stand AJ49 to see how the combination of the PE20 Palletiser and the Robotiq IQ Platform is helping manufacturers move from concept to production with greater speed and confidence.Stand AJ49?
