The MPIfR is working together with SKA-SA and the Universities of Manchester and Oxford to deploy three instruments on MeerKAT: An S-band receiver system, a dedicated beamforming cluster and a flexible pulsar search cluster. Together these instruments will provide MeerKAT with powerful tools for supporting a wide range of scientific applications and in particular will enable large-scale pulsar and fast transient surveys to be performed. In these proceedings we describe the design, implementation and deployment timeline for these instruments.
