What this machine does is, normally, when you fillet fish, the first part of the process is you take the two sides of the fish off; the second part of the process is you skin the fish; the third part of the process is with those fillets you take you the dorsal bones out of the fillet and then you have the classic fillet that your used to.
So, what this does is the last part of the process it automates that.
From a health and safety perspective, people were getting RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury), really repetitive motion. So the people that used to stand here, they’re in other parts of the factory.
There was, I guess, a concern that people would see it as a threat to their jobs. Without this machine now, with the way the labour market is, the hours would be longer, so the people would have to work harder. They don’t mind it at all.
The needs of people have changed, so they really don’t want to be working massive hours anymore. Quality of life and home time is really important now for people.
As we go on, there is more and more things we can do with it, so it will continue to evolve with us.
