WHY DATA-DRIVEN PROCESSING?

If you manage a modern poultry processing plant, you need a complete, clear overview of all processes. You want to keep control of the product flow from incoming broilers to packed retail products. You need reliable data to drive your decision-making. Marel is ready to provide all tools for data collection, traceability and full-potential performance of all automated processes, enabling the highest levels of quality control and food safety. 

Marel provides a doorway into data-driven culture for poultry processors across the globe, by providing them with a complete set of data-gathering tools and services. Sensors, product detectors, vision graders, weighers, X-rays, and laser scans collect an invaluable set of reliable data. This is the ideal starting point to create a data-driven environment.

Digital journey
Processing lines need to convert raw material into high-quality products and deliver the right product to the right customer at the right time. Increased capacities – up to 15,000 bph – and increased automation go hand in hand with a a data-driven process. Processors are under constant pressure to make complex decisions, matching an enormous amount of incoming goods to order requirements. Only highly accurate digital tools, such as the advanced Innova Food Processing Software platform, can take the pressure off processors, by providing data collection, traceability, production control, Quality Control and performance monitoring (OEE). Innova links together virtually all equipment in the plant, empowering processors to get the most out of their operations in their digital journey. 

Food safety requires software too
Food safety benefits from data-driven processing too. By collecting product data step by step and add it to each product while it travels through the lines, Marel offers processors a strong backbone of food safety information. This reliable way of data-driven processing enables full traceability throughout the processing plant.
