Efficiency is a key focus of meat and poultry producers. The ability to derive the maximum amount of meat from a carcass in the quickest time is a recipe for generating solid revenues.
The drive for optimal productivity is making automation increasingly important, and newer robotic technologies are among the machines set to play larger roles in plant operations. The devices — intended to match or exceed the speed, precision and reliability of human workers — have the advantage of being able to operate around the clock without performance lapses from fatigue, injury or motivation.
