See you at EATS Chicago!
Meet us at EATS Chicago this week
We’re teaming up with ILPRA at EATS Chicago showcase a Chef robot and ILPRA tray sealer in action. Visit us at booth #1709 from October 28–30 to see a live demo of our joint solution and chat with our team about flexible meal assembly automation and packaging. Want to plan ahead? Schedule a meeting with us via our website.
Why we’re partnering with ILPRA
Along with our collaboration at EATS, we’re excited to announce a partnership with ILPRA. Our joint solution allows food manufacturers to automate more of their production process for fresh and frozen ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-heat (RTH) meals. Chef robots automate meal assembly by portioning and depositing different food ingredients into trays, while ILPRA tray sealers package the meals.
“This partnership combines Chef’s AI focus and flexibility with ILPRA’s packaging expertise to help food manufacturers automate more of their production process,” said Rajat Bhageria, Founder and CEO of Chef Robotics. “Together, we can help our customers increase worker productivity, maximize throughput, and reduce giveaway—all while maintaining the consistency consumers expect.”
