A trim optimization system may include a first cutting assembly configured to generate workpiece trim and trimmed workpieces, a sensor assembly configured to generate at least one of trimmed workpiece and trim sensor data, and a sorting assembly configured to divert trim from the first cutting assembly to a trim use assembly. The trim optimization system may include memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device of the workpiece processing optimization system to: process input data including at least one of trimmed workpiece sensor data, trim sensor data, trim demand for the trim use assembly, workpiece supply data, and workpiece processing requirements; and, output a trim optimization plan including at least one of: a trim designation location in the trim use assembly for an amount of trim; and instructions for adjusting settings to change an amount of workpiece trim generated by the first cutting assembly.

Systems and methods for providing food intervention, pumping up, and tenderization are discussed. While such systems can include any suitable component, in some cases, they include a needleless spray nozzle head that injects injectate into food without requiring the head to contact the food. In some cases, the head comprises an elongated needleless spray bar that defines multiple internal fluid channels that extend from a first end to a second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the head comprises a manifold system with a first manifold portion at the first end and a second manifold portion at the second end of the spray bar. In some cases, the first manifold portion directs the injectate towards the second end, and the second manifold portion directs the injectate towards the first end of the elongated needleless spray bar. Other implementations are described.
