Research & Development
The MAF RODA Group devotes an average of 3% of its annual turnover to technological innovation.
This continuous investment in research has led to the MAF RODA Group holding numerous patents for different technological developments that enable it to offer its customers the most cutting-edge tools that best meet the requirements of their markets.
We have several research and development centres, the main ones being located at our sites in France, Spain and the United States. Each of them leads different projects, depending on the type of fruit or the nature of the project itself, such as electronic systems, software, robotics or automation.
Our 6 research areas
provide solutions tailored to the needs of our customers and we classify them as follows:
Mechanical Engineering
Traceability
Electronics
Automation
Electricity
Robotics
Mechanical Engineering
We have many years of experience in the field of mechanical engineering, analysing and developing machines, equipment and installations capable of automating the entire post-harvest process. This branch requires a high level of demand and a firm commitment to innovation. This is why we dedicate a large part of our work to the study and analysis of mechanics, as well as to its R&D policy, which allows us to convert our equipments into cutting-edge technology and to stay leaders in the industry.
Traceability
A very important part for our customers is the traceability and real-time process costs. The use of automation solutions such as electronic systems, calibrators, AGVs, palletisers, etc. allow the tracking and tracing of all information. With our traceability software, we guarantee the perfect tracking of batches and their transformation into orders.
Electronics
MAF RODA uses advanced programming and spectrometry to develop scanners and electronic sensors that assess fruit quality. It integrates artificial intelligence and algorithm development to refine cutting-edge technology materials, providing global solutions for food handling, treatment, sorting, pre-calibration, calibration and palletizing.
Automation
Post-harvest automation optimizes the processing of fruits and vegetables, reducing manual labor and errors. As a leading group in post-harvest automation technology, MAF RODA develops self-sufficient systems that reduce labour and production costs, make processes more efficient and, above all, increase production capacity and improve system performance.
Electricity
In a horticultural machinery facility, electricity powers automation and control systems, crucial for efficiency and precision in processing. Investing in this area remains vital to maintain operations, enhance production, and reduce costs.
Robotics
Developing robotic products in the post-harvest sector is crucial for automating processes, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. Robotics enhances the handling and sorting of fruits and vegetables, increasing precision and speed in processing.
