From Processing Floor to
Retail Case, Fully
Automated.
Chandler Automation designs complete meat and poultry packaging lines — portioning, weighing, and vacuum or MAP packaging — engineered around USDA compliance and full washdown sanitary requirements.
Every Stage of Meat & Poultry
Packaging, Covered.
Meat and poultry packaging runs on food-safety non-negotiables — full washdown sanitation, USDA-compliant equipment design, and cold-chain integrity from the cut line to the case.
-
Portioning & Weight Grading
Automated portioning and weight-check systems ensure consistent cut weights across every package, a key margin driver in meat processing.
-
Foreign Material & Bone Fragment Detection
X-ray inspection detects bone fragments and metal contamination that standard metal detectors alone can miss in meat product.
-
Checkweighing & Label Verification
Automated checkweighers verify net weight compliance while print-and-apply labeling ensures accurate date coding and traceability.
-
Vacuum & MAP Packaging
Vacuum sealing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) systems extend shelf life and maintain product color for retail cases.
-
Tray Sealing & Case Packing
Tray sealing lines and case packers handle retail-ready trays and bulk foodservice cases without breaking the cold chain.
-
Robotic Palletizing & Autonomous Hauling
Modular palletizing cells plus Cyngn autonomous tuggers and forklifts for complete facility material movement.
Your Meat & Poultry Line, Automated
Full facility — one team, one project manager
Best-in-Class Technology,
Built to USDA Standards.
Meat and poultry packaging carries some of the strictest food-safety and sanitary design requirements in food manufacturing. We partner with equipment built specifically to meet them.
Optical Sorting — 3U Vision Fenix
4K multi-spectral optical sorting supports inspection of meat and poultry inclusions and ingredient components for foreign material and defects.
Metal Detection & X-Ray — Cassel Inspection
Cassel Inspection's X-ray systems detect bone fragments and dense foreign material in meat and poultry product that standard metal detectors alone can miss — USDA and HACCP compliant.
Packaging Machinery — PFM
PFM Group's tray sealing, vacuum, and MAP packaging systems extend shelf life and preserve product color for retail meat and poultry cases.
Robotic Palletizing — Focus Integration
CARBON and CUBE robotic palletizing systems handle meat and poultry cases with washdown-rated, custom tooling built for cold, wet production floors.
Vacuum & MAP Packaging Systems
Vacuum sealing and modified atmosphere packaging systems engineered to extend shelf life and preserve retail-critical product color and appearance.
End-of-Line — OK International
Case erectors and case sealers built to operate reliably on wet, cold, USDA-inspected production floors.
Autonomous Vehicles — Cyngn DriveMod
AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts that eliminate repetitive hauling labor across your meat & poultry facility — indoors and out, no infrastructure changes required. Customers average a 33% productivity increase and 64% reduction in hauling labor costs.
Custom Fabrication — GWI
Ghazarian Welding Inc. designs fully sanitary, washdown-rated conveying and processing systems built to USDA equipment standards.
Bag Closing — Union Special
Union Special's bag closing systems support bulk export and foodservice formats for meat and poultry product moving in multiwall bags.
The Numbers That
Change Everything.
When your monthly equipment payment is less than what you save in labor, the system pays for itself from day one. Automation isn't a cost — it's a compounding investment.
"USDA inspection doesn't forgive shortcuts on sanitary design. Getting equipment engineered specifically for our environment solved compliance headaches we used to manage manually."

Handling, Built In.
Every Chandler Automation project can include Cyngn's AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts — eliminating repetitive hauling labor across your meat & poultry facility, indoors and out, with no infrastructure changes required.
Deploy a fully autonomous tugger train to automate repetitive meat & poultry hauling across your facility — from processing through packaging to the outbound dock. Travels inside and outside. No magnetic strips or special infrastructure required.
- Fully electric — AC brushless motor, regenerative braking
- Auto-unhitch feature — no human needed to release carts
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no infrastructure changes
- Remote fleet management via DriveMod FMS dashboard
- Manual override mode — human can take control anytime
- Multi-layer collision avoidance and Virtual Bumper safety
Autonomously lift and haul heavy meat & poultry bags, bins, or pallets — including non-standard pallet sizes common in ag operations. AI and computer vision analyze pallet dimensions in real time, enabling precise lifts without human intervention.
- AI computer vision detects non-standard & custom pallet sizes
- Intelligent load stability — no sudden jerks or balance disruption
- Multi-layer safety: deep learning + collision avoidance
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no magnetic strips or floor tape
- Remote monitoring and mission dispatch via Fleet Management System
- Manual mode switchover — human takes control instantly
Both DriveMod vehicles are managed through Cyngn's Enterprise Autonomy Suite — a unified fleet management platform that lets you monitor, dispatch, and optimize your autonomous vehicles from anywhere in your facility. Chandler Automation handles the full integration into your meat & poultry workflow.
