Meat Processing

Meat Processing

Scott is dedicated to supplying innovative products to the global meat industry, something it has achieved with considerable success.

Our products solve many of the critical problems that meat processors face. Scott products increase the yield from raw materials by eliminating waste, optimising cut accuracy, optimising cut selections for each carcass and objectively measuring carcass dimensions prior to processing.

Labour efficiency is enhanced, through automating processing, reducing training requirements, improving safety and eliminating physically demanding tasks.

Improvements in product quality are achieved through reducing in human handling and improving sterilisation technologies.

Scott has two joint venture arrangements with meat processors:

Robot Technologies Limited (RTL) - A joint venture between Scott and New Zealand's largest meat processor, Silver Fern Farms Limited. RTL is focused on realising its vision for the automation of lamb boning rooms.

NS Innovations (NSI) - A joint venture between Scott and one of Australia's premier beef processors, Nothern Co-operative Meat Company. NSI is focused on developing products and solutions for the beef industry.

With its depth of technical capability for automation in the meat processing environment, backed by input from two committed industry partners, Scott provides customers with a range of products perfectly suited to the meat industry's requirements. We offer the meat industry world leading technologies in X-Ray systems, robotics, 3-D vision systems, and custom-built automation equipment made to withstand the aggressive environments found in meat processing facilities.

Scott manufacture a range of off the shelf products for the beef, lamb and pork industries, but we are also enthusiastic about producing custom built solutions for our customers.

  • Tough Automation made easy

    Showcase of commercialised automation solutions in difficult food environments. These system use x-ray and other advanced sensing and visioning systems to inform and drive robotics and automated machines. These system increase yield, optimise raw material breakdown and most importantly remove the operator from dangerous and arduous tasks. These developments have been undertaken under a joint venture between Scott Technology Limited and Silver Fern Farms Limited known as Robotic Technologies Limited (RTL). Support has been also provided by companies such as Meat and Livestock Australia Limited and Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (NZ).
