RoboBatcher Flex Breast Fillets

Trendsetting in poultry batching

Take your poultry processing into the future with robotics and intelligent software. RoboBatcher Flex is unrivaled in poultry processing. With innovative batching technology and automated processing, your business can reach new levels of optimization and efficiency. 

Increase yield, eliminate giveaway

Innovation robotic technology combined with state-of-the-art batching software to pack trays to a fixed-weight virtually eliminating giveaway.  Fillets, drumsticks, inners/tenders, or whole legs are scanned and weighed entering the RoboBatcher Flex. Robotic arms select pieces using these precise measurements to pack each tray to the pre-programmed fixed-weight and style. Any pieces out of spec can be by-passed, improving quality control and yield.

Unrivaled speed and accuracy

With a minimum of two robotic arms working in tandem, the RoboBatcher Flex simultaneously packs multiple trays on single or dual tray lines with unprecedented speed and accuracy, processing up to 300 pieces of bone-in or boneless poultry every minute.

Improving food safety through automation

The system minimizes manual handling from the packing processes, so you can provide optimal hygiene and food safety while significantly improving processing times to maximize product shelf life.

Intelligent software for ultimate optimization 

Innova intelligent software gives real-time reporting for single-skill equipment or full-line solutions. You can make data-driven decisions for optimized processing, increased yield and reduced giveaway. With unparalleled traceability built into every step of the production process, Innova can trace every product back to its source and processors can act quickly to minimize product recall.

Full-line integration

The RoboBatcher Flex can be seamlessly integrated with Marel portioning and grading systems for full-line product utilization and increased profitability. When interacting with the I-Cut 122 portion cutter, it forms ‘a Robot with a Knife’, cleverly deciding which fillet weights best match the order requirements. Instead of cutting all fillets to one ideal average, this concept only cuts what is really needed.

Benefits of Innova for RoboBatchers

• Real-time monitoring and control reduces giveaway
• Data collection gives insight to optimize processing
• Integration with full line optimizes OEE
• Enhances batch traceability and quality assurance 

Monitor and control batching

The Innova module for RoboBatchers lets you monitor and control your batching operation in real time. The software provides live dashboards showing data for key performance indicators such as giveaway and throughput. They give you a clear overview of actual production and highlight where improvements can be made or whether any corrective action needs to be taken to ensure production is running optimally. Remote program management allows you to control the RoboBatchers settings directly from the office.

Get operational insight

Information about all batches produced is collected and stored in the Innova database. Standard reports can then be created giving you an insight into operational performance on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This statistical analysis takes away the guesswork and allows you to make data-driven decisions to optimize your batching.

Connect your business

Innova software can be implemented stand-alone with your RoboBatcher or it can be integrated with other Marel processing equipment across a full-line solution. This gives you central control over production, leading to optimized processing, higher yields and complete traceability for each and every batch produced.
