3rd Circular / Preliminary Program IMS Symposium Future Industrial Meat Production September 23. – 24. 2013 Copenhagen, Denmark The worlds growing and still more affluent population has caused a large increase in worldwide meat consumption during the last five decades. Projections tell us that these trends are likely to continue in a foreseeable future. Eaten with moderation meat is an important component of a healthy diet being an outstanding source of protein as well as a good source of several important micronutrients. ¬ Language Symposium language will be English. However efforts to substantially increase the industrial meat production are obviously complicated by the overriding challenges originating from climate change and energy scarcity. ¬ Venue KOSMOPOL Fiolstræde 44 DK-1171 Copenhagen ¬ Registration Open In light of this the perspective of the Future Industrial Meat Production symposium is to embrace the challenge of sustainability as a business opportunity. ¬ Fee 660 € DAY 1 — Session 1 — Future meat production systems TIME 08:30 Registration 09:00 Opening Symposium IMS & DMRI 09:20 Objective carcass measurement and optimum carcass usage Meat production is a marginal cost game. What are the newest trends in terms of optimizing costs in slaughtering, cutting and deboning? Holger Dirac, Director, Measuring Systems & IT, DMRI 10:00 Advances in robotic and automation Where does the ongoing robotic development take the meat industry? What is being developed in the labs these days? Koorosh Khodabandehloo, Consultant at BMC Robotic Solutions PLC (UK) 10:45 Morning Coffee 11:15 Designing efficient interaction between technology and people The meat industry is generally a low competence industry which challenges the technology development. What is being done today? What does really pay off? Ole Broberg, Associate Professor, DTU Management Engineering, Production and Service Management (DK) From virtual cutting to augmented reality Lars Bager Christensen, Senior Consultant, IT Solutions, DMRI A practical approach to optimizing technology usage in the slaughter industry 12:30 Lunch Henrik Grothe, Team Manager, Plant Layout, DMRI DAY 1 — Session 2 — Quality by design – an integrated part of the supply chain TIME 13:30 From lab to line Many industries are pushing quality control from labs to the lines. What is being done in the meat industry that has traditionally been very conservative due to tough regulation? Mohammad Koohmarie CEO, Meat Division IEH Laboratories & Consulting Group, (USA) 14:15 Vision Technology - opportunities for process and quality control Vision based examples under development or recently in production. Horst Eger, Owner, E+V Technology GmbH (D) Options and limitations from a regulatory framework perspective Koen Van Dyck, Head of Unit DDG2. G4 - Food, alert system and training (EU) 15:30 Afternoon Coffee 15:45 Profit from Traceability Where will the ongoing request for a more transparent traceability chain take the meat industry? What does traceability offer - and how can it deliver increased profits along the supply chain rather than incur additional cost?

We prefer to have a fact based evaluation indicating where we can improve in terms of environmentally responsible behavior. John Hermansen, Head of Research Unit Aarhus University (DK) Sustainably meeting future demand Patrick J. Moore, Chair of the IMS Sustainable Meat Committee (IRL) Sustainable meat production - a New Zealand perspective Sustainable meat production includes animal welfare and optimal handling systems, and the biological consequences of handling systems determine the meat quality in the end. Thus, optimal animal handling increase the value of the final meat products Katja Rosenvold, PhD, Project Manager, ANZCO Foods Ltd., (NZ) Animal welfare – optimization and documentation Margit Dall Aaslyng, PhD, Senior Consultant, Meat Technology DMRI 10:30 Morning Coffee 11:00 Meat quality management The trend of this decade is to get the optimal out of your raw materials. Advanced sorting at the meat processing plants is a revenue driver. Meat offal does not exist anymore. It is all valuable bioproducts.
