UBI Meat Experts in Quality Assurance

UBI Meat (UBI Meat – Experts in Quality Assurance) develops a meat grading platform that applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to quality assessment in meat processing, addressing inconsistency and subjectivity in manual grading. Its decision-grading software lets meat processors assure and document quality standards in real time, and the company describes a knowledge-base approach in which quantitative data points are collected during inspections to determine whether best practices are being met.

The product is delivered as a cloud-based system that the company says provides full visibility into data and production in real time from any location. Stated benefits centre on visual lean (VL) grading: reduced claims arising from VL grading discrepancies, up to 98% accuracy on VL, and cost savings from eliminating the need to over-buffer 5-10% on VL. The company also offers a marbling solution described as fully integrated with UBI Feedlot. Its stated aim is to use AI-driven technology to reduce waste, optimise processes and improve meat product quality and food safety.
