Abstract

The present invention provides a method for measuring poultry slaughter products using a measuring device arranged stationary along a transport path defined by a transport device having a plurality of successive carriers each holding a slaughter product, wherein the transport device in use transports the slaughter products held by the carriers of the plurality of successive carriers in a transport direction along the transport path through the measuring device. The method includes: a) measuring, using a non-contact distance meter of the measuring device, the distance between the distance meter and the slaughter product at at least three different locations of the slaughter product; and b) determining a parameter of the slaughter product from the measured distances of step a).
