Objective Carcass Measurement: CT Scanning
• Anatomical/Skeletal information will feed into advanced automation further down the line
• Muscle and fat differentiation will provide yield information and will match cuts with customers
• Reduction in costs (classification, sorting, automation, rework, inspection)

Beef Automation – Dec 09
Shorter term solution: X-ray• X-ray already a solution for sheep
• Beef: size is the challenge
• Targeted X-ray + conventional imaging
• Some initial work done by FSA
• Splitting and rib tracking

Banjo/foreleg boning
• Project started. RTL is the technology provider
• Double objective: Manually Assisted device and Automated leg removal and boning
• Own MLA/AMPC initiative for beef but potential to use future pork technology if successful

Banjo removal and foreleg boning

Banjo boningPotential future projects
Robotic Banjo removal
Auto foreleg deboning (continuation project)
Adaptation of pig foreleg auto boning

Brisket removal
• Cut and pull vs Scribe and scrub
• Visioning, end effector and stabilisation are critical
• Visioning: at this station or at scribing
• If separation at scribing, conventional imaging may be enough
![Page 10: Vision Of The Beef Automated Boning Room Dec 09](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a1dd791a28ab6d698b45a6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Beef Automation – Dec 09
Chuck removal
• Separation from ribs and spine very complex (boneless output)
• Bone-in separation relatively simple, but no significant benefit
• If bone-in, the whole chuck (or a bigger piece) could be processed through a similar system to the Middle machine
![Page 11: Vision Of The Beef Automated Boning Room Dec 09](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a1dd791a28ab6d698b45a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Beef Automation – Dec 09
Tenderloin removal
• Actual location depends on what operations done at scribing
• It may be located before scribing
• Yield is critical (most valuable cut)
• Technology under development for pork
![Page 12: Vision Of The Beef Automated Boning Room Dec 09](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a1dd791a28ab6d698b45a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Beef Automation – Dec 09
Middle processing
• Part of the carcass between Forequarter and Hindquarter
• As big as the section between the 1st rib and the 1st lumbar
• As small as the short loin
• It will include dedicated machines and cutting and handling robots
![Page 13: Vision Of The Beef Automated Boning Room Dec 09](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a1dd791a28ab6d698b45a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Beef Automation – Dec 09
Middle machine
• Based on pork technology
• Significant labour savings (3-4 FTE per shift)
• Initial aim: boneless strip loins
• Project underway with DMRI and RTL
• First prototype in May 2010
• If successful, a more ambitious machine will follow
• Full development may take years and $ millions

Hind leg deboning
• Current aided systems
• Finding seams may be critical
• Current foreleg project should be applicable if successful

Opportunities for Collaboration
We can approach collaboration from different angles
• Project by project vs Joint strategy
• Provider driven vs Industry driven
Either way, a joint Au-NZ Steering Group should help to
• Define strategy
• Choose projects
• Choose providers
![Page 23: Vision Of The Beef Automated Boning Room Dec 09](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a1dd791a28ab6d698b45a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Beef Automation – Dec 09
Proposed Au-NZ joint steering group
• Responsible to draft a joint automation strategy• Initially beef boning but may be extended to slaughter• Other future potential areas (OH&S, environment, food
safety, etc)• No more than 3-4 industry representatives per country• Industry initiative• Providers will be invited as required
