Systems and methods for processing drill cuttings

A system for processing a sample comprising drill cuttings from a wellbore in a rock formation, the system comprising:

• an unloading module for transferring the sample from a collection container to a sample tube, the unloading module comprising a funnel and an unloading module camera for reading a label on the collection container;
• a cleaning module for cleaning a sample, the cleaning module comprising a tank comprising a centrifuge for centrifuging at least one sample tube;
• a packing module for packaging a sample, the packing module comprising a tray for receiving the sample form the at least one sample tube, a packing module camera for imaging the sample, and a packing and labeling device for packaging the sample;
• and
• a robotic arm for transferring the sample tube between the unloading module, the cleaning module, and the packing module, the robotic arm comprising a robotic arm camera.
