for the FUTURE
THE MEATPACKING INDUSTRY
is undergoing significant changes, driven by a
range of stakeholders-including consumers,
regulatory bodies, government agencies,
advocacy groups, processors, and equipment
manufacturers-who are striving to improve
every aspect of production. The future of the
industry is being shaped by sustainability,
efficiency, automation, artificial intelligence,
and the seamless integration of advanced
technologies across the entire value chain.
Sustainability as a
Long-Term Focus
Sustainability has been a key priority for meat
and poultry processors for over two decades.
It is not just about ensuring the long-term
viability of the industry but also about carefully
managing the earth's resources through waste
reduction and conservation efforts.
Automation and technological integration
are now seen by almost all processors as the
leading solutions to address labor shortages.
The industry is already embracing automation,
and newer facilities are prioritizing cuttingedge
automation technologies from the
ground up.
" We will see a lot more automation than
what we have today-and I already consider
what we have to be significant, " said Rick
Sappington, Vice President and General
Manager at Seaboard Foods, Guymon, Okla.
