Design


The design of a YieldPlus yield management system gives you the tools you need to maximize your yields, measure your success, and drive more profits to the bottom line:

  • It begins and ends in the control room where your supervisors set up operator stations, scoreboard data and QC defects.
  • Quality criteria are set up based upon your customers’ specific requirements.
  • Incoming product is automatically batch-weighed and distributed to an ergonomically designed operator workstation.
  • Product distribution is controlled to each operator to ensure that a constant and consistent amount of product is available – with no overfilling or running out of product.
  • Batch integrity ensures individual operator accountability, along with complete confidence in the performance tracking data. 

Operator Stations

Operator stations are optionally equipped with Whizard® Trimmers that provide fast, efficient trimming with no bone contamination, as well as higher yield and a better-looking finished product.

Bones and trim are sent downstream to value-added or render operations.

QC/Inspection Station

An integrated QC/inspection station for finished product handling uses a touchscreen interface with graphical icons and multiple language capabilities to track specific quality defects by operator.

  • Multiple modes are available including 100% inspection, random inspection and others.
  • All inspection data are captured in real-time for reporting and analytical purposes.

Data Reporting


The YieldPlus debone/trim management system takes data collection and operator performance measurement to its greatest heights yet:

  • Real-time reporting of yield, quality, pounds-per-hour, pieces-per-minute and information by operator.
  • Performance data can be also posted on a digital scoreboard for each workstation "as it happens" for immediate and objective feedback, as well as for undertaking corrective actions by line managers.
  • Data reporting is captured for historical and trend analysis, as well as for establishing employee incentive pay programs to reward superior performance at the operator level.
  • The time and effort of compiling manual reports "after the fact" is no longer needed. Data can also be exported and incorporated into other reports. Multiple standard reports are available.
  • Data can be exported to existing plant IT systems.
