With farm gate revenues of more than CAD 3 billion, the pork industry accounts for nearly 30 % of revenues generated by animal production and 10 % of all revenues earned by Canadian farm producers.
In recent years, the sector has reorganized by setting up plants with faster slaughter lines equipped with the latest technology. There are therefore fewer plants today, but they are more specialized, more modern and more cost-efficient.
The Canadian pork industry is highly competitive, with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. It has always known how to adapt to changes in the business environment, as evidenced by its long export tradition dating back to the 19th century.
What do pork processors monitor?
Many of our customers in the pork processing industry monitor different stages of their operations: slaughter, evisceration, deboning, cutting, portioning, injection, packaging and labeling with our TileConnect sensors and TileBoard software.
What are the key performance indicators?
A dashboard tool that tracks production in real time can be a powerful way to optimize operations. The most important KPIs for pork processors are:
- KPI 1 – Availability (shift)
- KPI 2 – Downtime (shift)
- KPI 3 – Average speed last 5 minutes (product)
- KPI 4 – Overproduction
- KPI 5 - Material yield
Canada enjoys an excellent reputation for its pork products because the country is able to supply lean pork with a high meat yield, which is healthy and meets the most demanding buyer standards. The Canadian industry takes pride in meeting customer needs, satisfying its clients and building loyalty.
