Ovine automation: robotic brisket cutting

Ovine automation: robotic brisket cutting Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide details on implementation of inexpensive and accurate automation solution for performing brisket cutting while the sheep/lamb is hanging by forelegs. Design/methodology/approach – The system developed uses 6 Degree of freedom (DOF) industrial manipulator, custom build tool, sterilizer, and other off the shelf products to create a machine, all the parameters in the system are designed to ensure that the highest levels of safety and hygiene standards are met. The primary system has been developed for sheep/lamb. Findings – It is shown that the system developed enhanced both the productivity and quality of the process, while adhering to the hygiene standard in the meat processing plants. Research limitations/implications – The process of precise brisket can be very challenging; the system designed uses customised tools to provide a good model for the trajectory planning. Originality/value – The system developed uses statistical tools to calculate the correct trajectories. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Industrial Robot: An International Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide details on implementation of inexpensive and accurate automation solution for performing brisket cutting while the sheep/lamb is hanging by forelegs. Design/methodology/approach – The system developed uses 6 Degree of freedom (DOF) industrial manipulator, custom build tool, sterilizer, and other off the shelf products to create a machine, all the parameters in the system are designed to ensure that the highest levels of safety and hygiene standards are met. The primary system has been developed for sheep/lamb. Findings – It is shown that the system developed enhanced both the productivity and quality of the process, while adhering to the hygiene standard in the meat processing plants. Research limitations/implications – The process of precise brisket can be very challenging; the system designed uses customised tools to provide a good model for the trajectory planning. Originality/value – The system developed uses statistical tools to calculate the correct trajectories.
