Hot beef cutting trial study

19 November 2021
Focus area: Automation, processing and efficiency
Program stream: Innovation and technology leadership
Project number: 2021-1195
AMPC partnered with Intelligent Robotics (IR) to better understand how hot carcases react while spine scribes are applied. As part of the project, IR also explored the stabilisation requirements for performing cuts, and whether carcases move between cuts. 

During trials, carcases were cut in different stabilisation configurations and carcase movement during cutting and between cuts was analysed. 

An optimal backing board configuration was determined to ensure adequate carcase stability during and after each cut.
