Middleby Acquires Proxaut, Innovator of Industry-Leading Automation Solutions
Proxaut AGV technology is used by industry leading manufacturers in a variety of capacities, primarily to move materials and products safely and operate alongside people. Proxaut automation decreases repetitive movements from traditional labor and ergonomically improves workflows.
“We are leading the trend for Industry 4.0 in food processing. Our recent strategic investments in automation are coming to fruition, as we see order demands for this technology,” said
“Proxaut highly complements our existing automation investments, including Vemac (www.vemacautomazioni.it/en) which was acquired in 2018. Vemac has grown quickly since joining Middleby and Proxaut further extends the Middleby portfolio of automated solutions,”
Proxaut technology utilizes laser-guided, inertial-guided, and/or wire-guided technologies for autonomous movement. The two vehicle types provide customized solutions for moving heavy payloads from one point to another, avoiding non-value added and risky repetitive tasks in workplaces, or lifting materials traditionally handled by a forklift.
