Resumo: The adoption of technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision has significantly expanded the possibilities for automation and quality control in the meatpacking industry. This study presents the development and application of an intelligent system for the automated verification of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in beef carcasses, specifically targeting the visual assessment of compliance regarding the presence of the Matambrinho muscle cut post-slaughter. The methodology involves the use of computer vision models trained to recognize specific visual patterns required by quality standards, enabling rapid and accurate detection of non-conformities that directly impact profitability and economic losses. The system was validated in a controlled environment using real images of beef carcasses, demonstrating satisfactory accuracy in identifying deviations from the SOP. Automated verification contributes to process standardization, reduction of human errors, increased traceability, and greater efficiency across the beef production chain. The results indicate that integrating AI into SOP monitoring is a promising strategy to raise quality standards, detect potential non-compliant practices, and reduce operational losses in the meat industry.
