Traceability

Every lot, every shackle

Every flock begins with a trigger detected on the line. From that moment on, SB Connect counts every shackle, every section, every event.

01

Lot trigger

An automatic trigger detects when a new flock starts and ends, on every counter along the line.

02

Shackle counting

Each shackle is counted as it transits, on every section — separately for every line counter available.

03

Full vs empty

Shackles carrying birds are distinguished from empty ones. This is the basis of productivity calculation.

04

Broken-wheel alarms

Mechanical anomalies on the conveyor chain are detected and logged the moment they happen.

BPM

Birds per minute. The number every plant manager wants to know.

SPM

Mechanical speed of the line, regardless of whether shackles are loaded or not.

Line speed & efficiency

From shackle counts, SB Connect derives line speed in real time — and turns it into the indicators the industry speaks: BPM, SPM and efficiency.

  • BPM — how many birds are processed per minute.
  • SPM — mechanical speed of the line, regardless of load.
  • Productivity — full shackles divided by total. The closer to 100%, the less idle capacity.

Cooling tunnel & shrink

The cooling tunnel is where weight is lost. SB Connect weighs every frame in and out, computes the loss per lot, and ties the value back to its line conditions.

Cooling tunnel flow

≈ 4.5 h
Inlet Weight IN 8,150 g Cooling tunnel Dwell time captured per frame / lot ≈ 4.5 h Outlet Weight OUT 8,112 g

What the system captures

  • Weight in, weight out per shackle (or per 20-shackle tree).
  • Tunnel transit times, captured to the second.
  • Automatic shrink calculation per lot.
  • Result tied back to flock, line speed and conditions.
