2019 Manufacturing Innovation Award: Just Born
By installing integrated delta robots with end-effector tooling that can grip and package its single PEEPS Chicks marshmallow treats without damaging the delicate product, Just Born was able to automate its previously hand-packed PEEPS Chicks operation.
