Frontmatec, a global leader in automation and grading technology for red meat processing, will showcase its innovative solutions at the 71st International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST) from August 3–8, 2025, in Girona, Spain. As a Gold Sponsor of the event, Frontmatec will be present at Stand C9, where visitors will have the opportunity to explore industry-leading technology that supports more efficient, objective, and data-driven meat processing.

Held at the Palau de Congressos in the heart of Catalonia, ICoMST 2025 will bring together over 600 researchers, industry experts, and decision-makers from around the world under the theme “Real Meat, Real Care.” The congress focuses on key industry topics including sustainability, carcass quality, processing innovation, and food safety.

Frontmatec’s solutions are designed to optimize yield, product quality, and traceability across the entire red meat value chain. At ICoMST, Frontmatec will present three of its most advanced instruments for objective carcass grading and classification:

• 
  

  BCC-3™ (Beef Classification Center): A fully automated vision system that objectively grades conformation and fat cover in beef carcasses according to the EUROP standard. The system also predicts primal yield and delivers grading consistency with high accuracy.

  
  


• 
  

  AutoFom III™: An advanced ultrasound-based solution for pig carcass grading, AutoFom is widely recognized as the industry benchmark for predicting lean meat percentage and cut yield. It supports traceability, genetic improvement, and fair payment systems.

  
  


• 
  

  Q-FOM™ Beef: A fast, camera-based marbling and meat color assessment tool that provides objective marbling scores in under 20 seconds. The system enables premium-based payment models and enhances consistency in beef grading.

  
  

These technologies have already proven their value in leading slaughterhouses around the world, including recent implementations in Denmark through collaborations with Danish Crown. At ICoMST, Frontmatec experts will be available to demonstrate how these systems integrate with plant IT infrastructure and deliver value through accurate, repeatable measurements that reduce waste, improve profitability, and support sustainability goals.

Visitors to Stand C9 will gain hands-on insights into how Frontmatec’s grading technology is driving the shift toward objective, high-speed classification in both beef and pork processing. The solutions on display support improved transparency, farmer relations, and product differentiation—directly aligned with ICoMST’s commitment to science-based progress in the meat industry.
