Safe Meat Processing Automation with ABB Robotics

When pro­cess­ing meat, it is impor­tant to con­sid­er safe­ty – both for the work­er and for the con­sumer. Meat pro­cess­ing uses saws and oth­er cut­ting tools that can be dan­ger­ous to work­ers, and human work­ers can con­t­a­m­i­nate meat if not processed quick­ly. The answer to both of these prob­lems is the same – ABB meat pro­cess­ing automa­tion. The meat is processed more quick­ly, and there is less human contact. 

Speed is impor­tant when pro­cess­ing meat, but safe­ty is more impor­tant. When com­pa­nies use man­u­al meat pro­cess­ing tech­niques, work­ers run the risk of los­ing a fin­ger, a hand or pos­si­bly even an arm to the razor sharp saws that are used to cut through tough meat and bone. When using ABB auto­mat­ed meat pro­cess­ing, these kind of injuries are no longer an issue. The work­er is able to oper­ate the meat pro­cess­ing ABB robot from a safe dis­tance, far from the tip of the blade.

How­ev­er, meat pro­cess­ing automa­tion from ABB also ben­e­fits the con­sumer. When robots are used to process meat, there is lim­it­ed human con­tact, which lim­its the amount of bac­te­ria and con­t­a­m­i­nates that come in con­tact with the meat. There are also robots that are able to use steam and vac­u­ums to remove soil, bac­te­ria and con­t­a­m­i­nates that may be left­over from the animal’s coat. This improves the qual­i­ty of the meat and pro­tects con­sumers when they buy it and serve it to their families.
