Given the globally growing shortage of skilled labor, it’s no more than logical for Marel Poultry to look for ways to intensify the automation level in a poultry processing plant. One striking example of such an automated process is Q-Wing. Marel Poultry has developed this unique chicken wing part grading and distribution solution in response to demand from the market for higher wing yields and less manual labor.
Chicken wing parts are very popular as snacks; Super Bowl Sunday in the USA alone accounts for consumption of 1.39 billion chicken wings. To provide such quantities to the market, processors need to have a focused wing cutting, batching and distribution process that produces both higher volumes and more consistent quality, with the least cost and hassle.
