Efficient process control doesn't need to be complicated. See how a poultry producer invested in basic data collection and visualization software and now harvests continuous traceability as well as increased operator and process efficiency.

An India-based poultry and seafood producer wanted to monitor and analyze their weighing operations. They installed METTLER TOLEDO ICS bench scales throughout three poultry production areas and connected the scales with Collect+ data collection software.
The company monitors results on multiple dashboards and uses the system to collect, visualize and share data to achieve:
Improved traceability though incoming-goods data collection
In the entrance zone, all incoming chickens are weighed, controlled and classified before being sent to the packaging zone. The dashboard for this area indicates production data and weighing results. It then summarizes incoming deliveries.
Increased process efficiency with weighing
In the packaging zone, chickens are prepared according to retailer specifications. The chickens are either wrapped completely or cut and portioned into trays. Operators can control and monitor overfilling amounts, average net filling and operator packaging speed.
Optimized operator efficiency through results visualization
Production managers monitor results and obtain an overview of process efficiency in goods entry and packaging zones. Their yield analysis dashboards include operator efficiency, yield analysis and order fulfillment status. Depending on the processes, an increased yield of up to 20 percent can be reached.
Efficient data collection
Collect+ is a new data collection software that can capture weight and process data from every scale in a production operation including third-party weighing devices. This data can then be used for quality initiatives, process optimization and production control.
