Automating Small Cutting Rooms
For years, the mantra was repeated: “Automation is only for large industrial plants.”
But like so many myths in the meat industry, that one’s crumbling too.
Because automation is no longer a luxury. It’s a strategic decision.
And yes: it’s also a real, profitable, and scalable option for small cutting rooms.
Why automate if your facility isn’t a massive operation?
Because you’re facing this:
- You’ve got workload peaks that can’t be handled manually.
- You waste valuable time moving boxes or offal from one place to another.
- There are repetitive tasks that wear out your team.
- You want to meet hygiene and safety regulations—without doubling your costs.
And the solution isn’t growing your team.
It’s making it smarter and more agile.
Real solutions, designed for small-scale cutting rooms.
At Tecnoincar Toledo, we’ve spent years listening to small and medium-sized facilities that thought automation wasn’t for them.
And we’ve turned that into real solutions like these:
- Modular conveyor belts: custom-designed, they fit the available space without major renovations.
- Light-load overhead rails: streamline product movement without taking up workspace.
- Custom pneumatic platforms: perfect for adapting to different working heights—safely and effortlessly.
- Sorting systems by weight or type of piece: compact, efficient, and easy to clean.
All built with hygienic structures, durable materials, and simplified maintenance.
And what about ROI?
With a contained investment, many of these upgrades pay for themselves in less than a year—just from reduced downtime, fewer injuries, and higher productivity.
Plus, you’ll be one step closer to meeting international quality and safety standards. And in a market that demands traceability and professionalism, that puts you ahead of the game.
Automation doesn’t mean “going industrial.”
It means working smarter, thinking long-term.
It doesn’t matter if you have a large plant or a five-person team.
