The Meat Industry Engineering Network consists of industry personnel, researchers, regulators and trainers and represents an efficient method of distribution of new information for processing plant engineers. This network provides extension services for AMPC research and development activities. It gives plant-based engineering personnel, researchers and regulators a very useful forum to explain, explore and discuss new issues and innovations.

The network also provides a means of showcasing initiatives being undertaken by the meat processing industry in the nominated areas of transformational and disruptive technologies, new and modified products and process developments. Specific areas of interest include robotics, processing aides, and automation as well as refrigeration.
