4 ways a single technology provider improves uptime, yield, and accountability on the processing floor

Less downtime. Fewer headaches. More throughput.

One provider means faster troubleshooting, simpler training, and systems built to work together, so your team spends less time firefighting.

Instead of calling different vendors to troubleshoot issues that span hardware and software, you have one company as a point of contact. This mitigates risk by speeding up problem resolution and ensuring clear accountability.

"We considered various systems and suppliers, but JBT Marel best suited our needs. They offer comprehensive, scalable systems that can be flexibly developed as the plant's needs grow. Another huge added value was the fact that it's an international organization with local service and implementation facilities in Poland," said Paweł Zakrzewski, Board Member, Zakrzewscy Group. Meat processor, Poland.

Staff only need to learn one ecosystem rather than multiple, fragmented systems. This lowers training costs and time and makes it easier to cross train employees or bring new workers up to speed.

"JBT Marel's technical team provided thorough and practical training, enabling a fast and efficient transition. The Perú Frost team feel confident operating with advanced technology and acknowledge the tangible benefits," Marcos Yacher, General Manager, Perú Frost, seafood processor, Peru.

"Employees receive clear, automated instructions displayed directly on monitors at their workstations. This has reduced the number of mistakes and the time needed to train new employees," said Paweł Zakrzewski, Board Member, Zakrzewscy Group. Meat processor, Poland.

Integrated tracking of documentation is built into one system, which reduces audit anxiety. Clear metrics from a unified system make it easier to identify improvement opportunities and hold teams accountable to KPIs.

"Sometimes you get auditors that know of JBT Marel, and straight off the bat, that puts them at ease. The speed and accuracy of the system support auditor confidence. If someone gives you a barcode and four hours to do a trace, normally you can have it done within about three or four minutes," Enoch Robinson, Technical Manager, JK Thomson, Fish processor, Scotland.

"We can see today's production report on an ongoing basis. The system changes it on its own, and the employees immediately get the information; there's a computer at each workstation. Thanks to this, we are very efficient and save a lot on the goal product." Mateusz Marmola, Plant Manager, Zakrzewscy Group, Meat processor, Poland.

"Traceability is a fundamental tool for maintaining our reputation - it allows us to document the origin and parameters of a product, which is important not only in the context of audits, but also in terms of end customer expectations. Thanks to the transparency of our processes, we gain a competitive advantage and strengthen our position as a reliable business partner," said Paweł Zakrzewski, Board Member, Zakrzewscy Group, Meat processor, Poland.

"We can monitor production performance in real time and make any changes on the go. It helps us improve throughput and reduce giveaway, and it gives us live production control." Brent Keelty, Plant Manager, Mt Cook Alpine Salmon, New Zealand.
