CHEAPER AND SAFER:

These robots will replace workers at meat-packing factories, and not a moment too soon.

In order to automate the processing of the meat, JBS has invested in a New Zealand robot company called Scott Technology. According to a recent NPR program, automating production would trim the $100 million that JBS pays to its employees every year.
