Contact
Start with one line.
Tell us which line loses the most yield, giveaway or labour hours. We will tell you honestly whether Slicium can move it, and how we would measure that.

Before you write
What helps us help you.
Which line and workflow
The specific line and step you want to improve — deboning, grading, inspection, portioning or packing.
- Species and product mix
- Throughput per hour
- Shift pattern
- Current automation on that line
The number you want to move
Yield, giveaway, foreign-material escapes, labour hours or throughput consistency.
- Current baseline if you have it
- Target or business case
- How it is measured today
- Who owns the number
What we would integrate with
The cutting, grading, X-ray, portioning and MES systems already on the line.
- Vendors and models
- API, OPC UA or Modbus access
- Historian or MES in use
- Network segmentation constraints
How decisions get made
Who needs to approve a pilot: operations, quality, IT/OT and security.
- Economic buyer
- Quality and food-safety approver
- IT/OT and security approver
- Target timeline

Per-tenant isolation
Every plant gets isolated data, models and vector stores. Cut recipes and species models never cross a tenant boundary — federated learning shares patterns, never your product IP.
Assurance-grade audit trail
Immutable logs link sensor frames, model version, autonomy level, approvals, overrides and outcomes for every agent action — built for recall defence and model governance.
Fail-safe by design
Blade, robot and line stops are deterministic and independent of the cloud. Graceful degradation returns the cell to a safe state if perception confidence drops.

“The line does not care that every bird is different — Slicium does. We stopped programming a machine and started supervising an operator that adapts to each carcass.”
“Giveaway was the quiet leak nobody could close. Watching the portioner hold target within a couple of grams, shift after shift, changed the economics of the whole pack line.”
“What sold my team was the audit trail. Every reject links back to the frame, the model version and who approved the autonomy level. That is what a recall investigation actually needs.”

Before you ask
Answers to the usual first questions.
That variability is the whole point. Fixed automation fails because it repeats one motion; Slicium perceives each animal’s anatomy — bone position, seam location, fat/lean boundary — and plans a cut path, blade force and seam-follow specific to that carcass. The cut is validated against a digital twin that predicts yield before the blade moves.
Slicium runs a graduated autonomy model: shadow, then advisory, then supervised autonomy, each gated by measured accuracy and twin validation. Below the confidence threshold the cell degrades to a safe state, escalates to a human, or routes the product to rework — it never guesses on a food-safety decision.
No. The perception and control loop runs entirely on the plant edge. Cloud is used for training, fleet management and reporting, and can be disabled for on-prem or air-gapped deployments. Federated learning shares model improvements without exposing plant recipes, supplier data or tenant images.
A typical pilot runs one line for 8–12 weeks: two weeks of integration and shadow-mode baselining, four to six weeks of advisory operation, then graduated autonomy against the agreed success metric. Connectors for common cutting, grading, X-ray, portioning and MES systems are pre-built. [PLACEHOLDER]
Every cut, maximum yield.
One line. One metric. Eight weeks to an answer you can defend.
