Software

System Integrator

Triton Integrator collects individual carcass and carton data from the weigh grade system, Boning Entry unit, the boning room Weigh Label unit(s), and scan files from the scanning system. It establishes relationships between the data types to enable us to report on Chiller Stock, Boning Room production, Boning Room yields and Electronic Batch Submission of AGMs to N.Z. M.A.F.

Warehouse/Coolstore Management

The food storage and distribution industry has always had to cope with shortcomings in product identification processes, while also being the last link in the chain to retail for consumer food safety and responsibilities. Now with Aurora you can receive multi-plant, multi-product deliveries with automated batch lot isolation and individual item traceability.  Aurora is a low cost breakthrough giving advanced features and high performance results.

Carcass Identification (Mob Management)

The Knocking Box system is a PC based program which collects live weights, breed, eartag number, operator, and mob number. This information is forwarded to the Slaughter Manager PC where the information can be included in reports.

Veterinary Inspection

This unit allows a veterinary inspector to enter defect or disease codes against a carcass. These are transferred to the grading station where they are used by the grading software to allocate carcass grades. The station can be configured to "detain" carcasses manually or automatically, if the fault selected is one which requires a carcass to be detained.

Weigh Grade Station

The operator enters grading information, the carcass is automatically weighed and a carcass ticket printed. The grading information entered depends on the particular version of the software. It could be as little as a single keypress for the fat depth. Production records are collected and transmitted to the office PC running the grading software.

Weigh Label Station

These range from manual carton stations, to semi-automatic cut carton stations, to fully automatic carton systems. At a manual station, the operator identifies the product for the cut or carton which is then weighed, and a label printed. In a fully automatic system, the product in the carton is identified by a fixed scanner that reads a small product barcode attached to the carton by the packer. The carton is weighed, checked, labelled, and either rejected or diverted to the appropriate destination for this product. In both systems the box by box production information collected is sent to the office PC running the Boning Room Manager.

Production and Inventory Management

The Boning Room Manager enables the supervisor to enter product definitions, manage production orders, design cut or carton labels, set up cutting specifications, and communicate with the workstations. Carton data uploaded from workstations can be edited and reported on. For more sophisticated reporting, data is sent on to the Triton Integrator for yield, profitability, production batch and profit and loss reporting.

Inventory Management

When a carton is produced it is automatically assigned to a default location called "Production". Triton barcode scanning is used to identify cartons and change their location. Typically this is used for tracking product through the plant (Production to Blast to Storage to Shipped etc.), selecting product for load out, or producing stock reports. Batch identification and isolation can be incorporated for full individual carton traceability.

MAF Station

This unit allows the inspector to enter defect or desease codes against a carcass. These are passed to the grading station where they are used by the grading software when an Item Number is allocated. The station can be configured to detain carcasses manually or automatically if the fault selected is one requiring the carcass to be detained.

Boning Room Station

This unit collects data on carcasses entering the boning room so that it can be used in boning room yield calculations. The data collected can be just a weight and time of entry or if a scanner is attached the carcass tag can be scanned to also collect the product code, hot weight, killing plant and slaughter date. If both the hot an cold weight are collected, chiller loss can be calculated.

Boning Room Manager

The Boning Room Manager enables the supervisor to enter product definitions, manage production orders, design cut or carton labels, set up cutting specifications, and communicate with the workstations. Carton data uploaded from workstations can be edited and reported on. For more sophisticated reporting, data is sent on to the Triton Integrator.
