Maximising carcase value with objective imaging.

MEQ
CAMERA

By combining high-resolution imaging with 3D depth sensing, the MEQ Camera delivers objective carcase data that goes beyond subjective grading. Every record is tied to the carcase ticket, creating verifiable, traceable results that protect brand integrity and link producer payments directly to quality.

The MEQ Camera is a handheld cold-side grading device that uses advanced computer vision and dual-camera technology to objectively capture marbling, ribeye area, and other key traits.

By combining a high-resolution imaging camera with a 3D depth camera, it achieves more accurate grading in real-world plant conditions, ensuring every record is consistent, traceable, and brand-ready.

How it works.

  • Grade in the chillers, or grade on the line at chain speed.

  • A dual-camera system combines high-resolution video and 3D depth to measure marbling, ribeye area, rib fat, and other traits with accuracy.

  • Each scan is matched to the carcass ticket, body number, or hook ID, creating a fully traceable record across the supply chain.

  • Data flows directly into plant systems and MEQ Insights, ready for reporting, sharing, and integration into existing workflows.

  • Optional tools like tagging, overrides, and supplier reporting make it easy to align results across shifts, sites, and brand programs.
