PATAGONIUS was developed to aid fiscal authorities to control the meat-packing industry. But from the viewpoint of industrial management, PATAGONIUS is a good tool for fast decision taking and improving production and profits. It consists of a variety of registry elements along the relevant points of the production line. These elements generate online real-time information that enhances the planning of production and commercial activities.

PATAGONIUS installs order and statistical transparency in complex operations consisting of many simultaneous processes, starting in the admission of live cattle and ending in the dispatch of packed cuts.

THE CATTLE ADMISSION MODULE registers the weight and identification of each animal, and its assignment to the different corrals.

THE PACKING MODULE registers information coming from scales, counters, identification elements and data-admission punchboxes situated along the different stages of the production line: bleeding, evisceration, veterinarian inspection, weighing, admittance and outing of cold storage rooms, etc.

THE DISPATCH MODULE, in the truck-loading platform, features scales and tag readers, and allows for the registry of the shipping of cuts.

THE MANAGEMENT MODULE permits the handling of the corrals, the generation of slaughter lists, the administration of stocks, the confection of production reports, the calculation of yields and losses, the emission of statistical reports, and, of course, the automated filling-in of fiscal forms for the benefit of controlling organisms.

PATAGONIUS is a simple, state-of-the-art solution for the complex problems of quantification, diagnose and decision-taking inherent to the meat packing industry.
