A method of generating batches of food pieces, comprising: • conveying incoming food objects through a cutting device, where the cutting device is configured to cut the incoming food objects into plurality of food pieces according to a first cutting rule, and • conveying the resulting plurality of cut food pieces to a batching system where batches are generated fulfilling at least one first weight target, wherein the first cutting rule is selected in accordance to the at least one first weight target such that the resulting weight distribution of the plurality of food pieces entering the batching system is adapted to the at least one first weight target, wherein in case the batches fulfilling the at least one first weight target are changed to batches fulfilling at least one second weight target, a control signal is generated instructing the cutting device to adjust to a second cutting rule such that the resulting weight distribution of the plurality of resulting cut food pieces entering the batching system is adapted to the at least one second weight target; characterised in that the method further comprises the step of: conveying incoming food objects through at least one additional cutting device where the two or more cutting devices receive food objects having at least one characteristic property parameter; and in that the method further comprises measuring the least one characteristic property parameter of the incoming food objects including one or more of weight, size, shape, color of the food objects and utilizing one or more of the least one characteristic property parameter as an input parameter in allocating the food objects between the two or more cutting devices. • conveying incoming food objects through a cutting device, where the cutting device is configured to cut the incoming food objects into plurality of food pieces according to a first cutting rule, and • conveying the resulting plurality of cut food pieces to a batching system where batches are generated fulfilling at least one first weight target, wherein the first cutting rule is selected in accordance to the at least one first weight target such that the resulting weight distribution of the plurality of food pieces entering the batching system is adapted to the at least one first weight target, wherein in case the batches fulfilling the at least one first weight target are changed to batches fulfilling at least one second weight target, a control signal is generated instructing the cutting device to adjust to a second cutting rule such that the resulting weight distribution of the plurality of resulting cut food pieces entering the batching system is adapted to the at least one second weight target; characterised in that the method further comprises the step of: conveying incoming food objects through at least one additional cutting device where the two or more cutting devices receive food objects having at least one characteristic property parameter; and in that the method further comprises measuring the least one characteristic property parameter of the incoming food objects including one or more of weight, size, shape, color of the food objects and utilizing one or more of the least one characteristic property parameter as an input parameter in allocating the food objects between the two or more cutting devices. <EOS>
