Small footprint DEXA – stage 2

14 March 2022
Focus area: Carcase primal profitability optimisation
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2021-1157
AMPC partnered with Intelligent Robotics (IR) to develop a design for a carcase x-ray scanning machine with modular sizing in mind, scalability for increasing units, a smaller footprint and simpler installation. 

Intelligent Robotics successfully designed the solution using the design criteria. IR sought feedback from Australian processors which was positive overall, however the new design is smaller and simpler than existing solutions, and the footprint and cost required were still too large to proceed for processors that were approached.
 
Alternative sensing technologies are currently being evaluated.
