Frontmatec Control Systems | Danish Crown - New Vetenarian System
Danish Crown is globally known for high-quality meat products and being on the forefront when it comes to food safety. As a given, Danish Crown processing plants are equipped with veterinary systems for registration of health-related issues and effectiveness.
However, while equipped with an older veterinary system, Danish Crown faced a significant challenge, as it proved to be both slow and time-consuming.
"We had an older veterinary system that ran very slowly, resulting in veterinarians not always being able to input all the necessary information in a timely manner. It had reached a point where they could no longer guarantee the smooth operation of their daily activities," shares Heine Poulsen, Electrical Engineer from Danish Crown.
While other machines around the veterinarians were performing well due to focused attention, the veterinary system's slowness became a bottleneck.
The screens struggled to update promptly, and their small size hindered usability. It made it difficult to ensure a fast data entry which delayed the operational flow and made the employees even more frustrated.
"Why the need for change? Quality and food safety are the most important in meat processing, and challenges with the old system were obvious," states Heine Poulsen. "It had reached a point where we could no longer guarantee the smooth operation of our daily activities."
