05 February 2019
Focus area: Hands-off processing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2018-1025
This project was undertaken to develop a roadmap for the use of intelligent automation (IA) by the Australian meat processing industry. It is intended to pave the way for building an enabler in the form of a dedicated research centre, bringing the meat processing industry and academia together.

The project has assessed technologies within carcass processing and meat packaging aspects and covered technologies in areas such as live animal processing, carcass cutting and deboning, animal body composition detection, employee safety, and smart warehousing.
