Basket tracking system for automated batch retort systems
Efficiently manage and monitor your batch processing with a system that tracks, records, and ensures quality control to streamline operations and flag discrepancies in real-time.

Tracks, Records, and Monitors Batch Processes
The Basket Tracking System from JBT is a sophisticated solution designed for precision monitoring and data recording in batch processing environments. It coordinates all movements of baskets, ensuring that each phase—from loading to unloading—is meticulously tracked using barcode technology. This system is especially critical for food processors and beverage manufacturers dealing with diverse products such as infant formula, juices, sauces, and ready meals. It excels in environments where maintaining high standards of quality control is paramount, like poultry, meat, and seafood processing. The system flags any anomalies, necessitating quality control intervention to ensure compliance and safety.
This equipment integrates seamlessly into automated batch retort systems, offering complete oversight with its ability to monitor preprocess dwell time deviations. Its PLC-controlled framework supports easy integration with existing lines, providing a comprehensive overview for operators. Made with durable materials suitable for various industries, it promises reliability and longevity even under demanding conditions. The Basket Tracking System allows you to focus on throughput and quality, protecting your processes against errors with prompt flagging and accurate data capture. Plus, it facilitates compliance with industry standards, ensuring your production line remains efficient and compliant.
