sorting robotics, an industrial company of AI technologies and computer vision focused on cannabis, launched Jiko. Jiko is the first automated pre-roll infusion robot in the cannabis industry.
Approximately 70% of all cannabis production is still done by hand and will involve a manufacturing labor cost of about $ 2 billion in 2022, which will significantly affect the results of operators. With Jiko’s infusion capacity of up to 800 pre-rolls per hour i reduce waste and spills by approximately 20% to 30%Jiko is designed to help traders increase margins, scale and achieve profitability.
Companies that use Jiko have reported that they can do this scale production of 10,000 to 40,000 pre-rolls infusions per monthand saving more than $ 20,000 in labor and spill costs during the first month of use.
“I want a world where all repetitive manual tasks are done autonomously; then people can focus on helping others and be creative, ”he said Nohtal Partansky, co-founder and CEO of Sorting Robotics. “Most people think robots are bad. I see it completely different. In the cannabis value chain, effectively automating repetitive manual tasks improves margins and allows operators to reinvest more in innovation and creative problem solving.
Nohtal, a former NASA-JPL engineer assigned to the MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) project, co-founded Sorting Robotics to break the toughest bottlenecks of cannabis brands and processors through a combination of analysis real-time production data. modern IoT hardware and precision automation.
