Poultry Processing

Problem:
Processing plants strive to maintain a balance between processed meat yield and processing rates. Chicken processing plants are looking for ways to increase yield by just fractions of a percent. These small yields provide large net profit gains in a short period of time.

Solution:
By integrating Data Masters LED Displays into their weigh scale systems, the customer was able to log and display live, real-time yield and productivity rates from their work stations on large displays for the employees to see. Yields are dynamically displayed for various meat products by line number.

Data Source:
Data is collected from weigh scales at each location and transmitted wirelessly to a control room PC system. The data is generated and sent to the LED Displays over Ethernet.

ROI:
For an average-sized processing plant with 4 to 6 lines, a 0.5% gain in yield equates to several thousand dollars. The entire system, including the displays, paid for itself in only a few months.
