Automated lamb boning - video

I am forced to consider how many well-paying jobs were created to engineer, build, and maintain this equipment.

Yes Jon, I even can't figure out how they find a "return on invest" ratio on such an investment.
Cost of R&D, capex, cost of maintenance, sanitary risks of so much machine/meat contacts, and cost of cleanup (where you will need a lot of humans here).
And I don't see neither the mass production effect in meat producing ...

I agree, this is a nice playground for the engineers, I would love to work at designing such machines, but at the end of the day, I prefer to eat meat merely once a week, I purchase my meat to a craftsman butcher who purchases his carcasses to a small farmer, who works in a sustainable way, organic if possible.
I do believe that the only future is in a sustainable production chain, at all stages, especially if we want to feed the full planet, instead of willing to spread across the world the western, absolutely not sustainable according to me, way of eating.

You are absolutely right. How many years will a company be able to pay a team of butchers To do this? And then by the time the system needs a major overhaul I just can’t imagine this being cost effective.
