Industrial AI in a multi-species abattoir with cutting and toll processing
A multi-species abattoir — pork, lamb, goat and beef — with a large cutting room and a toll-processing service for third parties runs several product flows through the same ERP: own production, orders from different clients, different species. Many of these systems already have the data model built for full traceability — animal origin certificate, ear-tag identification, per-batch quality control, GS1-128 logistics label — but in practice several modules sit empty or depend on extensive manual typing, because feeding them by hand is slower than the old paper habit.
IRIS lands in this reality with three complementary pieces: Connect captures what's lost today and automatically fills the ERP modules that already exist, Edge gives a second objective reading where human judgment varies, and Agents organizes the evidence so the next veterinary inspection or audit doesn't cost weeks. This page brings together the 12 canonical use cases landed on this sub-sector, grouped by block.
