Norwegian Seafood Industry: Increased degree of automation

For the Norwegian industry to be competitive also in fish processing, a higher degree of automation is required.

This applies to all parts of the fishing industry, in the whitefish industry, in the fleet, in the stockfish and stockfish industry. Therefore, FHF has made a great and extensive effort in automation for several years, which has contributed to improving the profitability in processing. However, since the effort is so broad and extensive, it can be difficult to get a simple overview of the effort. That is why we have compiled it here: The fishing industry; The fleet ; The dried and salted fish industry and the dried fish industry.

Automation in the white fish industry

Automation and robotics are important for the profitable production of seafood in Norway. Calculations made by SINTEF show that, with automated production, an overall increase in yield of around two percent and five percent more loins is expected. Full automation of the filleting industry will have a positive impact on settlements and commercial activity along the coast and will ensure further value creation in Norway. The fishing industry also handles a higher proportion of residual raw material during production in Norway, and extensive R&D is being carried out by both the research environment and the marine ingredients industry to increase the value of residual raw material. .

For several years, FHF has focused on developing automated solutions for whitefish fillet production processes. The objective is to find automated solutions for the reception, classification, quality control, production, packaging and palletizing of fillets. To take advantage of the new technology, it is also important to have a high and stable quality of the raw material. FHF has had a central role in the ongoing R&D work, with funds set aside above the regular budget for the individual sector, in addition to a separate strategic investment to achieve the goal of automation.
