Automated traceability is the key to premium meat

Traceability is crucial when managing the production of high-end meat products and ensuring optimum use of raw materials at the same time. The automation experts at Frontmatec understand that need completely. Their tailored software solutions for modern meat processing companies are the proof.

Based in Denmark, Frontmatec is a worldleading supplier of customised automation solutions for the food industry. Frontmatec’s GOSystems are designed to record every step in the production cycle from raw material reception to packing and final product dispatch.

Accurate traceability is key to guaranteeing the quality and food safety of premium meat products

For manufacturers, accurate traceability is key to guaranteeing the quality and food safety of premium meat products and selling them at the best price. Real-time alarms built into the system keep manufacturers informed about expiry dates, reducing food loss. Potential quality problems are also easy to isolate, minimising the risk of recalls and related expense.

Recently, Frontmatec completed the implementation of a new automation system at a leading pork processing plant in Finland, one of the most advanced of its kind in the world. The entire cutting and deboning process is governed by highly automated recipe and order management, allowing planners and operators to control every aspect so each sales order is delivered precisely on spec.
