Robotic cell for automated cutting frozen fish; FroFish: Cutting frozen fish into pieces
Development of a system able to replace the traditional way of cutting frozen fish in food industry. Thanks to different technologies related to robotics and machinery vision like 3D Model Recognition is possible to automate the frozen fish cutting. Increasing human safety and the efficiency of the process, by an adaptive system which maximizes the use of the product, are the key aspects of this initiative.
DGH Robótica, Automatización y Mantenimiento Industrial
DGH has been designing, implementing and commissioning integrated projects and services in industrial settings for more than 40 years, with an extensive national and international coverage. We started out in the automotive industry, one of the most complex and demanding sectors, and thereafter extended our activities to sectors such as food, aeronautics, construction and new technologies, inter alia. At this time, we employ a staff of more than 250 professionals with skills and competitive experience in industrial engineering (design, development and commissioning of projects and facilities), integrated industrial maintenance and process consultancy.
