Overview

What Slicium does.

Slicium closes the loop on protein processing: robotic cutting and deboning, AI vision grading, X-ray foreign-material detection, portion and pack control, robotics and yield and throughput orchestration.

Every line deployment produces labelled cut, grade and inspection traces that train the next model, tightening the loop from carcass to portion.

One loop, module by module.

Every deployment on slicium.com writes labelled traces back into the model, so the system generalises across plants, alloys, grades and geometries.

Why we invested

The thesis behind Slicium.

Protein processing is a yield business where a cutter who debones well can be worth a point of margin, and the people who can do it are scarce and hard to retain. Foreign-material recalls are existential.

Slicium encodes the cut and the guard. The buyer is a protein processor paying in hard currency; the wedge is one cutting or inspection step, and yield is the number that opens the next module.
