KIVI Region Gelderland will visit Agro Food on Wednesday 23 November 2022.

Host: Erik Pekkeriet.

Within the Agri & Food sector, robots and unmanned systems are taking an increasingly important place. Think of drones, unmanned agricultural vehicles, automatic packaging machines, picking robots, and robots are also increasingly used in the logistics and handling of food products. What does this mean for our society? To what extent will and are we as humans increasingly willing to hand over our activities to robots? Erik Pekkeriet will show us how the various robots can do their work.

The programme is as follows:

18.00 h Reception with a sandwich
