Pre-rolls are a top seller in American and Canadian markets. They’re convenient to smoke, affordable, and often a great way for retailers to move bulk flower at a higher margin. 

They’re also becoming a hot sector for innovation because filling cones by hand is laborious, slow, and inconsistent.

Cannabis has a lot of gaps both on the technology side and on the operator side. Still, Sorting Robotics is committed to creating a more sophisticated industry by providing robust technology.

Sorting Robotics, an industrial cannabis-focused AI and computer vision technologies company, launched Jiko, the cannabis industry’s first automated pre-roll infusion robot, in June 2022.

The evolution of the cannabis market has seen a number of B2B trade shows and conferences pop up throughout the country. The vast majority offer a fairly standard mix of panels, exhibits, and cocktail hours targeted at professionals across the board.
