Future of egg processing: Intelligent automation

摘要

With falling costs for sensors and computing power, more practical systems are being developed that promise to fully automate more egg processing tasks.Relative to processing poultry carcasses, processing eggs has been easy to automate. When it comes to washing, inspecting, grading and packing shell eggs at an inline facility, the vast majority of the eggs can make it from the hen to the egg carton without being touched by a human. It is expected that automation will move into even more areas of egg processing in the not-so-distant future.
