Icelandic seafood company FISK Seafood is continuing to invest in its processing and automation, inking a €600,000 ($646,000) contract with equipment producer Valka for automated batching and packaging systems for light salted frozen fillets.
“This investment shows that we at FISK Seafood are forward-looking in our decisions," FISK Land-based Production Manager Asmundur Baldvinsson said.
The company will gain efficiencies with both its precision and on labor costs. The system automatically weighs, and then batches and packs based on a "game theory" algorithm.
The agreement was made virtually due to coronavirus-related travel restrictions.
