Scott Technology has won a multimillion-dollar contract to build an X-ray lamb boning system for Alliance Group’s plant near Invercargill. The technology — worth $12.5million — will be developed at Scott’s Dunedin offices over the next 10 months. John KippenbergerParts of the X-ray technology are already in use at Alliance’s Dannevirke, Pukeuri and Smithfield plants and the farmers’ co-operative said it had improved safety, labour and yield efficiency at those locations. "This multimillion investment also underlines Alliance’s commitment to the Lorneville plant and to Southland," Alliance chief executive David Surveyor said. "That’s obviously positive for Alliance, positive for their farmer co-operative partners and also highly positive for Scott."
