Robotics That Work Alongside Your Team.
AutoOp® robotic cells eliminate manual transfer points, reduce line injuries, and maintain pick accuracy across every shift — without requiring a safety cage or an automation engineer on staff.
150+ AutoOp cells deployed across North America
60 sec
Format changeover between SKUs via touchscreen pendant — no engineer required
The manual line's biggest problems. Automated away.
Purpose-built for bakery — not a generic robot with a bakery brochure.
Eliminating Manual Transfer Points
Every hand-off between slicer, bagger, and palletizer is a pinch point for injury, contamination, and inconsistency. AutoOp robotic cells remove human touchpoints from your most repetitive and hazardous line segments.
Handling Every SKU Without a Crew Change
Switching from sandwich to sub roll to artisan round typically means stopping the line and repositioning staff. AutoOp's vision-guided grippers reprogram between formats in under 60 seconds via the touchscreen pendant.
Consistent Pick Accuracy at Full Speed
Human fatigue degrades placement accuracy after the first hour. AutoOp maintains sub-millimeter repeatability across an entire shift — every pick, every pack, every pallet.
Safe Collaboration with Existing Staff
AutoOp cells are designed for collaborative deployment — not isolation cages. Integrated force-sensing and proximity detection allow safe operation alongside your crew without sacrificing throughput.
The AutoOp Advantage
“Sub-millimeter accuracy. Every pick. Every shift.”
Pick the cell your line needs.

What AutoOp customers say.
“We removed three manual transfer positions from our sandwich line. AutoOp paid for itself in seven months and our injury rate dropped to zero.”
Tom R.
Prairie Gold Baking, Kansas City MO
“The format changeover used to take 45 minutes and two supervisors. Now the line operator does it in under a minute from the pendant.”

Designed for food — not adapted from automotive.
AutoOp grippers use food-grade silicone contact surfaces and IP67-rated electronics. Every joint and surface is designed for daily washdown — no covers to remove, no cavities for contamination.
- Food-grade silicone gripper surfaces, NSF certified
- IP67 waterproof — full washdown without covers
- Collaborative force-sensing, no safety cage required
- Pre-built bakery task library — teach new SKUs in minutes
- EtherNet/IP and PROFINET native integration
What bakeries ask about AutoOp.
Does AutoOp require a safety cage?
No. AutoOp cells use collaborative robot technology with integrated force-torque sensing and ISO 10218-2 compliant proximity detection, allowing open deployment alongside staff.
How long does installation take?
The R1 cell installs in a standard 4-hour planned maintenance window. The R3 and Flex systems require a 1–2 day commissioning window depending on line complexity.
What programming experience is needed?
None. AutoOp uses a guided teach pendant with pre-built bakery task libraries. Your line operators can add new product profiles without calling an engineer.
Can it integrate with my existing PLC?
Yes. AutoOp exposes EtherNet/IP and PROFINET interfaces and integrates natively with Allen-Bradley and Siemens S7 control systems.
