ADOPTION OF NEXT-GEN TECHNOLOGIES IN RETAIL AND CONSUMER GOODS INDUSTRY
Food Automation and Robotics
The systematic implementation and incorporation of automation and robotic systems will significantly enhance food manufacturing efficiency during unsustainable economic pressures. Food manufacturing has evolved as a vastly complex process, where it covers preparing, cooking, sorting, packaging, and palletizing. To increase production at the facilities, industrial robots are widely adopted to save time, space, cleanliness, and safety.
In the food manufacturing units, the robots are usually used in the process of dispensing, feed placement, cutting, packaging, or casing of food, pick-and-placing products into sorting and containers. The advanced developments in food robots result in the remote order of food for picking and sorting to save employees' energy by automatically filling that specific order.
Considering the food items' packaging, where consistency, speed, or repetitive productions are concerned, the food robots win over humans in operational and productional efficiency. Automation and robots are installed with great care, such as robots primarily equipped with intelligent vision systems, allowing them to take care of precise product placement on a sorting belt with the highest accuracy. These vision system robots can also be utilized to sort in terms of color, shape, or size.

- Clean Room Robots
Covid-19 Impact on the Food Automation and Robotics
The current automation trend has witnessed the new technology developments capable of providing end-to-end automation production of diversified processed foods. Reducing worker presence across the manufacturing process could help minimize potential rapid contamination and help companies reduce costs in terms of safety and other measures for personnel.
The food industry has emerged as an essential aspect in the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, which is primarily driven by various factors, including safety and hygiene, which have resulted in growing discussions concerning the element of automation across food manufacturing.

Food Delivery
Recently, robotic food delivery is in the limelight across the globe. In 2020, Dominos Pizza declared that it would incorporate autonomous ground vehicles for food delivery after their initial successful drone delivery in late 2019.
Although autonomous food supply may sound similar to "the latest fad," this meets a growing market trend. Over the last few years, home-grown ready-to-eat food and demand for restaurant-quality, has grown enormously. It is doubtful whether or not autonomous delivery will become widespread, but the food industry's taste changes.
Therefore, the food industry trends and outbreat of COVID-19 has definatly changed the supply chain and create awarenss for food safety and hygiene, which is further estimated to make the opportunistic scope for automation and robotics in the global market in the coming two years.
