Australian automation company provides first hybrid dosing robot to Firmenich’s Taste and Beyond

Australian-based automation company Accurate Dosing Systems (ADS) has landed a key contract with the world's largest privately-owned fragrance and taste company, Firmenich, to supply and service a purpose-built robot for its creation lab in Belgium.

The high-tech robot will automate the process of accurately measuring out hundreds of flavouring solutions, which go on to determine the taste profile of food and beverages such as soups, coffee, yogurt and breakfast cereals.

Products developed by Firmenich, which is headquartered in Switzerland, reach more than four billion consumers a day, in more than 100 markets globally, across both its Perfumery and Taste & Beyond business divisions.

The Tonsley Innovation District-built robot will include hybrid technology, combining two different methods of dosing that ultimately achieve faster speeds and a higher automation rate.

ADS co-founder and Managing Director Masoud Bahmai said his business was one of just five companies in the world offering the specialised dosing technology, allowing scent and flavour formulas to be compounded on the machine in minutes instead of hours – a game changer for the $24 billion (USD) industry.

“The hybrid technology will be the first dosing robot in Taste & Beyond - Firmenich's flavour division,” Mr Bahmai said. “Usually our competitors do either gravimetric or volumetric dosing but by offering an optimised combination we can now meet the demands of mid-to-large-size operations that often need speed [of processing] and high automation rates.”

The hybrid robot - scheduled to be shipped to Belgium later this year - is also expected to reduce Firmenich’s use of plastic pipettes during its trial and testing phase.

“As a part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and ambitious ESG commitments on nature and climate, we are constantly striving for ways to reduce our environmental impact. We are dedicated to deriving the best from nature sustainably”, Annemarie Steffl VP Eurotech Taste & Beyond at Firmenich said. “This new digitalized dosing system will allow us to achieve an even greater level of precision, efficiency and speed, while eliminating raw materials waste and enhance our ability to provide precise value chain data to our customers.”

Mr Bahmai said a shift in acceptance around remote servicing and connectivity since the pandemic was playing to ADS’s advantage.

“Companies were sometimes concerned they couldn’t receive the service support required from Australia but now, the whole paradigm has changed. Three of our last four sales have been to clients in Europe,” Mr Bahmai said. “It's getting easier for Australian businesses to export and provide services from here, so I think we’re going to see a lot more, low volume, high value-added manufacturing coming out of Australia.”

Accurate Dosing System’s Tonsley factory has the capacity to manufacture dozens of robots a year. Moving forward, Mr Bahmai said he hoped to provide his products and services to hundreds of flavour and fragrance factories and creation laboratories across the globe.

“Ultimately, we want to provide a really good service model to work very closely with our clients and make sure that we take good care of them,” he said.
