Focus area: Advanced manufacturing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2022-1185
This project aimed to automate the critical scribing process in beef processing, traditionally performed manually with high safety risks and dependence on skilled labour. AMPC partnered with Intelligent Robotics (IR) and KPC (Kilcoy) to successfully design, build, and commission an AI-powered robotic system capable of performing four precise scribing cuts at industrial line speeds. The IR-SCRIBE system has demonstrated robust performance, improved yield consistency, and reduced workplace injury risks. The system is now fully operational at KPC, providing validated results over multiple years of advanced support and monitoring.
