Poultry processors looking for ways to improve yield and consistency and to better manage their entire production process can get help from ThinkGates, a BOC process optimisation and service technology business.
At the Southeastern Poultry and Egg Association’s upcoming 2006 Poultry Processor workshop, John Rinald, director of the ThinkGates business, will discuss how the ThinkGates process optimisation technology and service can capture real-time data in first and further poultry processing. Rinald will deliver a presentation titled ˜Automated Data Acquisition for the Plant at the Poultry and Egg Association’s session on ˜Emerging Technology for Poultry Processing on Thursday, 18 May at 900 am at the Sheraton Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia, US.
First processing runs from slaughter to chill. During further processing, poultry is made into products such as chicken fingers, chicken patties or fajita strips.
John Rinald said: “One challenge processors face is delivering product quality while maintaining the highest level of yield, throughput and efficiency. Our expertise is in capturing and delivering data automatically on product quality and throughput. We measure variables, such as temperature, weight, viscosity, moisture, and product damage, and then use those measurements to immediately adjust the production process.
