Wootzano Avarai is a dexterous AI-powered robotic packing system for fresh produce, developed by Newcastle, UK-based Wootzano using proprietary Wootzkin nanowire electronic skin to handle delicate items such as tomatoes and grapes without bruising. The system integrates into existing packing lines, occupying the same floor space as a human worker, and can reduce packing-line labour requirements by up to 60%. Avarai has been commercially deployed in the UK and expanded to Malaysia and the US market.

### Who makes Avarai?

Avarai is made by Wootzano, based in Sedgefield, UK, founded in 2018.

### Where is Avarai deployed?
