About Wootzano
Avarai combines robotic arms, machine vision and Wootzano’s electronic skin to identify, grasp and pack individual pieces of produce. The tactile layer measures contact force across the gripper surface, allowing the system to handle soft or irregular fruit and recognise conditions such as an attached stem without relying solely on camera geometry.
The cell estimates product weight and selects packing positions to meet tray or carton requirements while reducing bruising and manual handling. Its footprint is designed to replace a packing position within an existing line, with installation, integration and continuing support provided by Wootzano. Commercial deployments cover fresh-produce operations in several countries and are offered without a large upfront equipment purchase.
