From sectioning to palletizing – KUKA offers automation solutions along the entire value chain in meat processing. As a full-portfolio supplier, we support slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities with intelligent robot systems.
The demands on the meat processing industry are increasing every year. Automation systems that cover the entire process chain in meat processing are a decisive factor when it comes to high food quality and hygiene standards, as well as a small CO2 footprint. This includes tasks such as cutting meat of all animal species, stamping, inspections, further processing steps such as marinating, and packaging and palletizing.
We equip companies in the industry with integrated automation solutions – ranging, as required, from the arrival of the animal to the preparation of the food and shipment of the pallets to the supermarkets.

Our robots in the Hygienic Oil (HO) version with tailor-made protective covers are ideally equipped for handling raw meat and other foods:
Integrated camera technology and image processing systems are used in the automated inspection of unpackaged meat products:

Cut meat products are often further processed by employees in meat processing plants. One process that is used is ultrasonic cutting. Some examples are:
?
Depending on the further processing step of the meat, different HO robots (Hygienic Oil) are used, as well as the KR AGILUS HM, a Hygienic Machine that can be used for the direct handling of raw foods.

In the final step, the boxes are sorted on pallets and prepared for transportation to butcher shops and supermarkets.
Pallets of the highly perishable food that have been made ready for transport can be temporarily stored in cold stores with the aid of the KR QUANTEC PA Arctic – and are thus immediately ready for delivery when a supermarket orders them at short notice.

High food quality requirements, rising production prices, a growing shortage of skilled workers – there are many challenges for meat processors and the industry is continuously having to respond to them in new ways. For this reason, rely on an automation partner with decades of experience in the food industry.
Our customers benefit from high productivity, low costs and increased food safety as a result of reproducible processes. Our worldwide presence and 24/7 service guarantee reliable support for all questions, including on site.
Every automation system is centered on robotics. Their performance, precision and speed determine efficiency in meat processing.?Our systems also bring decades of industrial expertise to the meat sector.
In this harsh environment, the robot technology primarily has to be able to withstand particular humidity, heat or cold, e.g. in cold storage rooms and damp rooms. All our products are designed for this purpose with a robust mechanical system and the necessary IP rating.
Our Hygienic Machines (HM) are ready for immediate use with raw food. All other robots will be equipped with tailor-made protective covers.
No matter what animal is being processed in the meat production facility or what workflows are envisaged – our industrial robots intelligently automate almost every process step, making the processing operation faster and more accurate:
