As homebrewers we sometimes do things that wouldn't happen in a
production environment. I am not aware of any commercial
system that skims the boil.
Seems like a pretty large safety issue in a commercial environment. I
don't like sticking my arm in a boiling/near boiling kettle.
I never skimmed at home either, just kept a spray bottle handy to jet
down the foam. Now I keep the hose handy for the same. Following the
boil, the hot break collects at the bottom of the kettle via the
whirlpool.
