Successfully installed in many leading processing facilities RFID hook tracking provides complete data integrity from the kill floor, through the boning room and to the
quarter load-out.

Each hook contains an embedded RFID tag onto which a unique identity is assigned. When a carcase is attached to it, both hook and meat travel through the production facility together.

Scanners in key locations throughout the abattoir keep a track of the tag's movement as it is passes through various processes, allowing the collation of key data for each specific animal.

 

ACCURATELY TRACK PRODUCE THROUGHOUT THE PROCESSING FLOOR WITH bodyTRACE

The ability to accurately track a carcase from the knock box to the grading scales across the fastest and challenging beef, pork, lamb and small stock processing floors is available with Cedar Creek Company's bodyTRACE carcase correlation system. The system utilises a stand-alone SCADA control system and integrated RFID transponders / readers systems.
It is both flexible and modular, making use of existing on-floor system investments and further closes the loop for bobby calf, sheep and goat traceability delivering full NLIS tracking capability to the grading scales.
The operational challenges of dropped bodies, inverted chains, hide puller, retain, condemns and broken hooks all provide issues that in past have deterred processors from moving away from 'Mob / Lot' based recording and reporting. Cedar Creek Co mpany deliver capability for detailed carcase feedback based on individual animals with detailed buyer or farmer feedback.
Individual Carcase Correlation opens the door to value-add solutions like un-manned grading, removal of tickets, chiller sorting, detailed inventory, product status control, automated boning room input and carcase load out, as well as online and web feedback back to buyers, producers to further value-add their programs on farm or feedlot through detailed carcase analysis.
