The driving forces for automation adoption in any production/manufacturing environment are constantly changing, but the metric is usually bottom-line cost.
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) recently completed the second year of a three-year project to rebuild their Intelligent Cutting and Deboning System
Companies that supply equipment for the cutting and deboning process are always trying to improve their automated lines and the sharpness of the blades they are using in their systems.
Butterball’s Mount Olive, N.C., facility revamped its entire deboning process, and one year later it has reaped the benefits in terms of employee turnover and training, product quality, and operational efficiency.
