Equipment OEM
Cutting, deboning, grading, X-ray, portioning and packing manufacturers ship Slicium-ready cells with autonomy included as a subscription.
Partners
Ship autonomy with the equipment you already sell.
Equipment OEMs, protein systems integrators and MES vendors embed Slicium so their machines perceive, adapt and improve instead of repeating a fixed motion.
Programmes
Three ways to partner.
Systems integrator
Protein-line integrators deliver, commission and support Slicium deployments with certified engineers and shared margin.
MES & software vendor
Plant software vendors surface Slicium yield, grade, giveaway and safety intelligence natively inside their products.
Why partner
Autonomy is the upgrade your customers are asking for.
Differentiate hardware that has commoditised
Mechanical performance converged years ago. The machine that adapts to each carcass — and improves every month — wins the evaluation against one that does not.
- Recurring revenue on installed base
- Clear differentiation in competitive bids
- Faster commissioning with pre-built connectors
- Joint validation packages for customers
Integration templates, not integration projects
Repeatable connectors and validation packages for common cutting, grading, X-ray, portioning, packing and MES systems reduce delivery risk and shorten every deployment.
- Certified connector templates
- Reference architectures per line type
- Twin-based commissioning validation
- Shared support runbooks

Onboarding
From first conversation to first joint deployment.
-
1
Fit & scope
We map your product line, target customers and the workflows where autonomy adds most value.

What partners get from us.
A named partner engineer
Not a portal and a PDF. Every certified partner works with a named Slicium engineer through enablement, reference build and the first three joint deployments.
Enablement materials
Architecture references, validation protocols, commissioning runbooks and customer-ready technical collateral.
Deal registration
Protected opportunities with clear rules and fast turnaround.
Shared pipeline
Joint account planning and transparent forecasting.
Joint validation packs
Documentation your mutual customers can take straight into a HACCP or FSIS review.
Trust
Partner deployments meet the same bar.

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.
Data residency & on-prem
Run fully on-premise on the plant edge, in your VPC, or hybrid. Sensitive producers can keep every frame inside the facility.
Joint customers
Delivered together.
“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.”

Partner FAQ
Programme questions.
Both models exist. Referral partners register opportunities and earn a fee; certified integrators resell and deliver with margin; strategic OEMs embed Slicium as a subscription attached to their equipment.
For referral, we do. For certified and OEM programmes, you own commercial delivery and we support jointly. Support escalation paths and SLAs are defined per agreement so the customer never gets caught between two vendors.
Typically six to eight weeks: enablement, a reference integration on your equipment, and twin-validated commissioning. Timelines depend on the complexity of the equipment interface. [PLACEHOLDER]
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.
