The fish processing industry applies a small number of automation technologies compared to other industries. Their number should be increased despite automated food processing problems and hygiene requirements. Automation and implementation of robots can reduce production costs and improve product quality. The issues of designing automation systems for the fishing industry are analyzed. Automatic control systems can control quality of fish and fish products. Automated systems receive, freeze, sort, cut, wash, salt, dry, smoke, press, cool, package and store fish and fish products. Modern technological tools are equipped with automatic control systems. Some of them include specialized automation and robotic units equipped with microprocessor control systems. Application and implementation of automation systems for processing fish are described. Future trends are discussed.

When processing milk and producing dairy products, the key factor is the control of the quality indicators of milk and manufactured products using automatic control systems of SAK with the use of microprocessors and microcontrollers. When milk is taken, automated plants allow you to determine the composition and quality of milk, including the content of somatic cells, mass fat content and protein fraction. The milk storage tanks are equipped by the local automatic systems. The technological processes of milk normalization are associated with the adjustment of its parameters. The functional diagram of automatization of the milk normalization process in the flow involves the use of a microprocessor controller. The composition of the automated production area of drinking milk includes information sensors on the status of process parameters, digital instruments for monitoring process parameters. The process of producing liquid starter cultures and bacterial concentrates involves the possibility of changing the productivity of the cultivator. Automatization does not include the supply of milk to the process equipment, the transfer of equipment from one technological operation to another and many others. Further automatization of technological processes in dairy production should be based on the extensive use of robotics and flexible robotic lines.

In the current conditions of a market economy, for the more complete automation of technological processes for the production of meat, dairy and fish products, and especially when frequent changes in the product range (assortment) are needed, the use of robots and robotic flexible technologies is extremely important. The possibilities of using robots and flexible robotic systems for more complete automation of technological processes for the production of meat, dairy and fish products are considered. The main directions of the development of technological progress in the mechanization and automation of animal husbandry and their impact on improving process technology, the use of digitally controlled technologies, increasing labor productivity, reducing costs, improving product quality, and protecting the environment are outlined. It is noted that one of the important areas of technological progress in the modern period is the comprehensive modernization of existing facilities.
