Poultry processing efficiency monitoring system
In high-throughput poultry processing operations, maintaining optimal line efficiency and minimizing downtime is crucial. Unexpected slowdowns or stoppages can lead to significant production losses and increased operational costs. Precise and real-time monitoring can help identify inefficiencies early, ensuring smooth and continuous processing.
Track and optimize processing line efficiency
The MARS Efficiency Counter System from JBT is a comprehensive monitoring solution designed for poultry processing lines. This system uses a proprietary touchscreen controller, custom software, and precise sensors to measure line and product efficiency, providing real-time data on production performance. The counters, which measure line speed and product rate per minute, can be employed across various first processing areas such as kill lines, evisceration lines, and debone lines. The system features redundant sensors on picking lines, ensuring accuracy with an impressive 99.6% guarantee. Real-time data is displayed on large monitors on the plant floor, motivating employees by providing feedback through customizable displays including stoplight-coded lights. The user-friendly touchscreen controller can manage up to eight counter systems, and data is continuously uploaded to a Microsoft SQL Server database for comprehensive reporting. Daily, weekly, and historic event reporting capabilities allow detailed analysis of production efficiency, helping to make informed decisions and adjustments quickly.
