Consumers are increasingly concerned about the origin and safety of their food, and to meet these concerns, today's retailers and fast food chains demand complete traceability from their suppliers, especially when choosing fresh produce, meat and poultry products.

SmartCenter™ has been created to cater for a very demanding future, where meeting these demands shapes the success of the modern hatchery; and where by maximising uniformity through every level of hatchery management - you achieve reliable performance and uniformity in your product.

From batches of hatching eggs and day old chicks, to incubators, hatchery automation and climate control systems, SmartCenter's™ powerful, central database streamlines and improves control in the hatchery. It registers the movement of hatching eggs, alerts you automatically to alarm events, provides a preventative hatchery maintenance management program and allows the full customisation of different incubation programmes.

SmartCenter™ has been developed not only to maximise performance and results. It is also a safety net. When you consider that a simple, unidentified equipment failure could cost the lives of millions of chicks within hours - it makes sense to have a comprehensive, reliable system in place - to minimise any ill effects as quickly as possible. SmartCenter™ actively contributes to achieving operational reliability, greater productivity and increased uptime.

For greater efficiencies and new levels of uniformity that have a real impact on your bottom line, SmartCenter™ actively and economically enables you to meet all these demands, today and tomorrow.
