The present invention relates to a system for monitoring utensils (100) in slaughterhouses, comprising: at least one utensil (100) comprising at least one readable medium (110) identifying the at least one utensil (100); at least one reading device (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280) in at least one specific location of the slaughterhouse, reading the at least one readable medium (110) of at least one utensil (100) for collecting at least one data relative to said utensil (100); wherein the data collected by the reading device (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280) is stored in at least one of a hardware and a cloud database.

A conveyor belt support system for a conveyor having a belt movable along a frame includes a plurality of support slats each extending substantially along a longitudinal axis of the belt. The plurality of support slats is adjustable in position relative to the belt.

A processing machine for scanning and portioning a workpiece includes a scanning station configured to scan a workpiece to ascertain at least one physical parameter of the workpiece, a portioning station configured to portion the scanned workpiece, a conveyor for moving the workpiece beneath the scanning station and the portioning station that includes a belt with an open form moveable along a frame, and the conveyor belt support system located beneath at least the scanning station.

An RFID tag manufacturing system is provided that includes a conveyance device that conveys a base sheet provided with a plurality of antenna patterns to each of which an RFIC module is fixed. The system includes a laminating device that attaches a cover seal on the base sheet to cover the antenna patterns and a punching device that produces RFID tags by punching the cover seal and the base sheet with a punching blade that includes a frame-shaped cutting edge surrounding the antenna patterns to form a frame-shaped cut. The base sheet includes alignment mark in a non-attachment part of the cover seal. The punching device specifies the position of each of the antenna patterns covered with the cover seal based on the alignment mark, and punches the cover seal and the base sheet based on the specified position of the antenna pattern.

A machine tool, in particular a sawing machine, with a tool for metal cutting, in particular a saw band or saw blade, a drive device for driving and/or moving the tool, a controller for the drive device in order to control and/or regulate the drive device with a process dataset, as well as a communication device for data exchange between the controller and an external data memory and/or an external computer. The controller includes a detector for identifying the tool. A system for optimized operation of such a machine tool which additionally includes an external data memory and/or external computer is also provided.

A slicing machine for slicing meat strands that have a cross section that varies over a longitudinal extension in large numbers and as quickly as possible into weight precise slices. In one embodiment, two meat strands are received adjacent to each other in a respective form tube and pushed against a respective separately adjustable stop plate independently from each other by a controlled longitudinal press plunger and compressed in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a cross section of the form tubes may be reduced in a first transversal direction jointly and in a second transversal direction independently from each other and thus the respective meat strand is transversally compressed to a constant cross section prior to slicing.

An image forming device includes: an image former that forms an image for determining a cutting position, on a printing sheet; an image reader that reads the image formed on the printing sheet to acquire image data; and a controller that outputs data for determining a cutting position for a cutting batch which is a stack of at least two printing sheets. The controller obtains a position of the image according to the image data, calculates a representative value from the positions obtained respectively from a plurality of printing sheets in the cutting batch, and outputs data for determining the cutting position for the cutting batch according to the representative value.
