MEIKO Group Taps Fizyr and Yaskawa Europe For Automated Dishwashing

DELFT, Netherlands, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fizyr, providing the world's most capable vision AI, and Yaskawa Europe, one of the world's leading manufacturers in the fields of drive technology, industrial automation and robotics, recently partnered with MEIKO Group, a global technology and service company that develops professional warewashing, cleaning and disinfection technology as well as sustainable food waste treatment systems, to develop an automated dish sorting and washing solution for commercial kitchens.

Demoed by Yaskawa at Automatica 2025 in Munich, the solution combines the expertise of the three companies to accurately detect, pick and place dishes into a dishwasher for cleaning and sanitation. Fizyr's advanced vision AI identifies the objects and tells the Yaskawa robotic arms what to pick, how to pick it and where to place it. A suction module removes food residues for a cleaner and more efficient wash cycle.

"This is another example of automation that goes beyond hype to address real-world needs," said Ken Fleming, CEO of Fizyr. "Many industries face significant labor shortages, including commercial kitchens, and this automated dish sorting and washing solution eases those pressures and relieves bottlenecks to keep kitchens moving."
