QR Helmets (Adelaide Uni) – Module 1 PoC
Problem: Despite having a strong commitment to worker health and safety, red meat processors face challenges in continuously and proactively monitoring the wellbeing of operational staff in dynamic processing environments. Existing systems lack the integration of real-time, wearable-based data to inform timely safety interventions. Solution: To address this, JBS has...

Feasibility of Collagen peptide-based wound healing applications
Collagen-based wound dressings have limitations in healing speed, biocompatibility, and sustainability. While they offer moisture retention and protection, they don't fully address inflammation or tissue regeneration. This project aims to improve collagen dressings by integrating enzymatically derived peptides from enriched Type III collagen to enhance tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation....

Assessing the value of keratin extracted from skins and hides
The leather industry has declined due to increased consumer demand for synthetic alternatives. There is an opportunity for value addition from keratin from hair and collagen from hides. This project will explore applications for these proteins in food, feed, fertilisers and biofilms for use in products like nappies. In order...

Collagen Peptide Production from Bovine Bone
A number of low value products are produced at beef processing plants, such as bone chips. Increasing the value of bone chips will improve the profitability and competitiveness of our beef processors. Current extraction methods often have low yields and involve high chemical usage, increasing costs and environmental concerns. This...

Developing petfood products from bovine pleura
Pleura impacts eating quality of meat cuts derived from the rib section. The pleura will not render during cooking and becomes quite tough regardless of the duration of cook, potentially eroding the value and reputation of red meat particularly for older larger animals. AMPC Project 2024-1109 demonstrated that the pleura...

Inkjet Bag Printing to improve batching and fabrication floor yield through improved data
This project aims to address critical challenges in the boning room of meat processing facilities, focusing on improving batch (product grouping) tracking and maximising revenue through accurate product grouping. Over the past 18 months, with practice changes, batching accuracy has been reduced from over 100% to an average of under...

Assessing the significance of premature spoilage in Australian vacuum-packed beef and lamb supply chains
Despite the recognised high quality of Australian beef and lamb, challenges still exist in ensuring the long shelf-life of vacuum-packed products due to unforeseen premature spoilage. This can lead to customer dissatisfaction and financial claims against exporters/processors. To this end, the proposed project aims to assess the extent and cost...

Heat Recovery "as a system" - new to industry case study
AMPC’s Decarbonisation Pathway has estimated that Industrial Heat pumps will need to carry a significant portion of the electrification task for red meat processor decarbonisation. Electrification makes up 16.4% of our sectoral decarbonisation strategy, and so far only one Industrial Heat Pump has been adopted by the processor sector. This...
