Beef carcass classification
Objective decisions – image-based, traceable, auditable.
Your Challenge Challenge Challenge
How objective is objective – when the day is long?
Classifiers are under considerable time pressure. Experience, stress, and how they feel on a particular day often influence the accuracy of their assessments. At the same time, there is often no documented basis for reliably resolving complaints—and this is happening at a time when skilled workers are increasingly in short supply.
Our Solution Solution Solution
AI-supported Beef carcass classification
FOODFAIR's AI assistance system supports classifiers with an image- and data-based module that runs parallel to manual evaluation. It provides additional comparative data and highlights deviations – not as a replacement, but as a reliable aid in the decision-making process.
What the solution does
- AI assistance module for parallel evaluation of carcass images
- Comparison between manual evaluation and AI evaluation in real time
- Note to classifiers in case of deviation – for final decision
- Image documentation as a basis for cross-checks, audits, and complaints
- Enter classification data directly into the system
Your benefits
What AI assistance does for your classification
The solution increases the objectivity of assessments, reduces the workload for specialist staff, and ensures reliable traceability—even in the event of complaints or audits. At the same time, it supports manual decision-making without relinquishing responsibility. The combination of experience and technology creates genuine process reliability.
Error prevention
Differences between classified and documented assessments are highlighted – with image evidence.
Increase in efficiency
Classifiers receive image-based support in the background—without any additional effort in their daily work.
Auditability & complaint security
All assessments are documented with pictures and can be reviewed afterwards.
Increase the attractiveness of the profession
AI offers valuable support, especially for new employees without decades of experience.
Strengthen customer loyalty
Transparency in evaluation builds trust—even when questions arise from retailers or farmers.
Your possibilities – our goal
Making classification processes future-proof
The AI-supported solution is currently being used in pilot projects at two of Austria's largest cattle slaughterhouses. The aim is to create end-to-end, visually supported documentation for greater transparency in agriculture, reliable auditability, and stronger customer relationships.
The assistance system not only increases comparability, but also makes the job more attractive—especially for new employees without decades of experience. AI accompanies, supports, and helps—without replacing.
- Increase objectivity and traceability in classification
- Enable image-based control for audits and reviews
- Relieving skilled workers through assistance systems
- Establish an Austria-wide, approved AI classification system
- Can be expanded in the future to include additional features (e.g., marbling)
The next step starts here

5 common questions about beef carcass classification with AI:
Will AI replace manual classification?
No – it provides parallel support and points out possible differences in case of deviations. The final decision remains with the classifier.
How is this implemented technically?
Cameras capture images of the carcass halves during input. The AI compares the images with the classification entered.
What happens in case of deviations?
The system indicates a deviation – the classifier decides whether to adjust its input or not.
Is the image documentation saved?
Yes – as a basis for complaints, internal control, or audits.
Can the solution be integrated into our business?
Yes – particularly suitable for slaughterhouses with a high number of complaints, changing personnel, or high throughput.
