1. A foldable movable device for treatment of products, comprising
a structure comprising a base, a framework and panels, the framework being upwardly fixed to the base, the panels being mounted to the framework,
an automation comprising a robotic arm and a command unit of the robotic arm, the automation being fixed on the structure,
a tool suitable for gripping the products, said tool being fixed at a distal end of the robotic arm, wherein
the panels are articulately mounted on the framework, in order to be moved from a folded configuration of the device to a deployed configuration, and reversely, wherein
the panels comprise at least two side walls,
each of the side walls is independently mobile according to a translation direction, the translation direction orthogonally extending laterally relative to the framework, in order to manage a part of a working area of the robotic arm on each side of the base in the deployed configuration of the device; and wherein
in the deployed configuration, each part of the working area is dimensioned between the side walls and the base to receive a pallet.
