DESCRIZIONE
The invention relates to an apparatus for automatically monitoring an apparatus for processing meat products, in particular fish, comprising a prediction unit for determining a yield-relevant prediction variable, the prediction unit being connected to input sensors for acquiring geometric and/or weight data of the meat product fed to the apparatus for meat processing, a yield determining unit for determining at least one yield-relevant yield variable, the yield determining unit being connected to the output sensors for acquiring geometric and/or weight data of the meat product processed by the apparatus for meat processing, and a difference unit for calculating a difference variable from the difference between one of the prediction variables and the at least one corresponding yield variable, the difference unit in each case being connected to the prediction unit and the yield determining unit. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for automatically monitoring the apparatus.
