Bringing it all together The Software Solutions portfolio ranges from simple device control solutions, to total processing solutions adapted to the individual needs of meat processors. Based on modular designs, the solutions are scalable, thereby providing maximum flexibility for meat processors, ranging from small operations to large, plant-wide systems. The production management software supports a broad range of Marel processing equipment. This enables processors to optimize overall meat production, from reception of raw material to dispatch of products. s process know-how empowers meat processors to deal with daily challenges and optimize results. With, processors can control single devices, or a full range of equipment across the plant floor. production management software can communicate with other systems, such as an existing ERP system, to give you a powerful interconnected management system. It provides a solid foundation for reliable data collection, and ensures full traceability throughout the system. It also allows processors to monitor their key performance indicators (KPIs) such as yield, throughput, quality, capacity and labor efficiency, in real production time. These valuable insights enable processors to identify opportunities for improvements, while ensuring that production conforms to quality and food safety standards.

Customer corner The National Meat Institute, Uruguay Traceability from source to shelf Traceability in the world market is becoming increasingly important to red meat processing companies and their stakeholders. When the National Meat Institute in Uruguay (INAC) set out to establish a centralized and online traceability system, proved to be the solution. The Uruguayan traceability system, SEIIC (Electronic Information System of the Meat Industry), was set up by INAC in co-operation with Marel, and has been in full operation since 2007. The purpose of SEIIC is to gather and collate online data about bovine slaughter and deboning in a central system, to ensure transparent management and consistent operating data for all parties involved in the mandatory meat processing system farmers, producers and government authorities. Today, INAC centrally organizes traceability across 39 approved processors in Uruguay and the system provides a good foundation to Uruguay s market position as one of the key players in the world. Real-time information and full traceability across the entire value chain The beef supply chain can be divided into three stages and traceability is important in each of them: From the cow s birth at the ranch through delivery to the slaughterhouse The slaughtering of cattle and division of carcasses into cuts at the slaughterhouse Delivery of cuts from the slaughterhouse to the importer, retailer and consumer The animals are first registered when they enter the plant with information such as the herd number, the producer s number, farm and ear tag. The SEIIC system consists of seven data capture and registration points using Marel hardware. These points then provide information about the slaughtering, deboning and dispatching processes via the production control software. The real-time information generated and obtained from central points at each plant is stored in a local SEIIC server at each plant, as well as in a management server at INAC in Montevideo. Subject to change without notice / 62310 / Marel hf. / 03.2013 By using Marel s production management software, more than 25,000 units of data per day from around 500 data collecting points are analyzed, validated and forwarded to farmers and producers to document how they perform. This gives both them and us a very good tool for controlling and monitoring beef production as well as marketing the industry. Hugo Köncke, Chairman of Information Technology, INAC
