Advantages of a dynamic cutting room
Today's food industry is constantly incorporating technical innovations to improve production, efficiency and safety. Dynamic cutting rooms have a high degree of automation and mechanisation of cutting processes thanks to the latest innovations. Small companies or companies that have only recently started their activity can benefit from the advantages of process automation from day one.
What is a dynamic cutting room?
A dynamic cutting room is a facility designed to optimise the processing of food for human consumption and to improve its productivity. Process automation plays a critical role in this. In a dynamic cutting room or line, the work on independent tables is replaced by processes in which the product is moved from one point to another by means of mechanical conveyors, belts, trays or boxes. This makes it possible to develop a process automation that becomes a differential, because it means drastic improvements in terms of efficiency, organisation and production volume.
Process automation as a differential point
In a dynamic cutting room or cutting line it is possible to automate processes, thereby reducing costs in terms of time and space, as well as making more efficient use of production equipment. Moreover, a dynamic cutting room can facilitate the implementation of continuous improvement processes as well as innovation by providing a flexible environment for changes in the manufacturing process. This flexibility of the different production equipment, as well as the mobility it allows for the operators working in it, stand out as other of its main features.
The automated use of devices allows for greater production in less time and precise control over the products, as well as considerable cost reduction. It also helps to maintain the necessary levels of quality and safety by avoiding human contact with the food. These elements facilitate the implementation of a wide variety of storage techniques and contribute significantly to productivity and efficiency in the food industry.
Production of other processed foods
One of the great advantages of a dynamic cutting room is its ability to improve throughput in the production of other processed foods, as it facilitates the utilisation of leftovers or fat from meat cuts to produce sausages, chorizo and other processed foods.
This allows companies to save on production costs, improve their profit margin and, in some cases, sell the leftovers or process other foods themselves to utilise the product. In addition, a dynamic cutting room reduces manual handling time, resulting in improved production efficiency.
Finally, a dynamic cutting room offers companies the possibility to comply with the latest food safety standards. This provides greater consumer peace of mind by ensuring that processed foods are produced in a safe and compliant manner.
More safety and hygiene
Today's dynamic cutting rooms are notable for their contribution to occupational safety, as the equipment and tools used in the room are highly regulated and controlled. This means that workers are at less risk of injury when performing any task. Improved cleanliness and hygiene also make the work areas better and safer for the operators. Optimised organisation and storage also allow quick access to products. Finally, dynamic cutting rooms make it easier for companies to reduce manufacturing costs because they increase efficiency and less time is required to perform each task, reducing the overhead costs associated with manufacturing. The translation of all this is that the highest quality products can be offered at more competitive prices.
