TRANSCRIPT
The meat industry has been slower than other
food segments to implement automation –
largely due to the need for manual and labor-
intensive processes. However, there is no
doubt that process automation and digitization
are increasing.
Increasing automationIn a recent PMMI survey, 96% of processors
indicated their intention to increase levels of
automation in their facilities in the near future.
Three out of four respondents confirmed they
are already actively measuring overall equip-
ment effectiveness (OEE) on a daily basis.
Smart technology helpsMaking better use of live production data, col-
lected automatically from weighing and in-
spection systems through intelligent software,
is at the core of improvements. The collected
data supports increased efficiency, transpar-
ency and traceability within production pro-
cesses and onwards into the supply chain.
Checks and complianceMETTLER TOLEDO provides software and hard-
ware solutions to support improvements for meat
processors. Find out more on pages 2 and 3.
Smart Technology Aids AutomationThe Benefits of Connected Production EquipmentThe ability to trace the source of ingredients and ensure product quality through the supply chain is becoming increasingly important in the meat industry. Weighing and inspection solutions are at the core of the changes.

Weighing and Inspection Five Ways to Document Compliance Needs
Incoming goods checksThe more precise the track and trace
system, the faster producers can iden-
tify quality problems. Incoming goods
are often controlled with floor scales.
Smart technology such as the new
Powerdeck™ family combines rug-
ged scale design with smart diagnos-
tics. This technology avoids inaccu-
rate measurements and delivers high
performance.

Smart recipe weighingConsistent recipe management allows
traceable ingredient handling, support-
ing correct label declarations. An ICS
terminal with formulation functionality
allows traceable recipe weighing with-
out costly networking infrastructures.
The ICS689 terminal guides operators
through each recipe, preventing man-
ual mixing errors and delivering trace-
able results.

Contaminant removalMetal detection and x-ray inspection
are the industry default technologies
to ensure products are free of physical
contaminants such as metal, glass,
dense plastics and bone. The ability
to automate the collection of data from
these critical control points provides
assurance that industry standards are
being met.
` www.mt.com/pi-contamination
Labeling correctnessAlmost 50% of all product recalls can
be attributed to labeling issues. Many
food safety and retailer standards now
include requirements to ensure cor-
rect product labeling. Vision inspection
technology can check for label pres-
ence, accuracy, lot numbers and "best
before" dates to support compliance
with standards.
` www.mt.com/civision
Collecting process dataThe accurate documenting of product
inspection processes to support com-
pliance is essential to meet food safety
standards. Developments in the ability
to network inspection equipment and
the use of advanced software reduces
the need for manual collection pro-
cesses, improves process efficiency
and supports digitalization.

X-ray Across the Value ChainContaminant Detection and Integrity
X-ray inspection solutions can be installed at different stages of a production line to pro-
vide complete product safety and cost savings. They inspect goods for contaminants such
as metal, glass, mineral stone, calcified bone and high-density plastics, across all stages
of production.
Placing an x-ray inspection system within food processing detects problems before further value
is added to the product. X-ray inspection can also provide quality and integrity checks at the
end of the production line.

Maintaining a hygienic production area, adhering to regulations and standards, and maxi-
mizing uptime are just some of the key challenges that meat, poultry and seafood manufac-
turers face when it comes to product inspection.
Five Inspection Challenges Overcome With Metal Detection
Reduce wasteTraditionally, metal detectors have
struggled to maintain high sensitiv-
ity levels without suffering from false
triggering which wastes a significant
amount of 'good' product. The Pro-
file Advantage metal detector from
METTLER TOLEDO uses multiple fre-
quencies at the same time, to cancel
out 'false' signals, virtually eliminating
wasted 'good' product.
Improve productivityFood manufacturers face pressure to
process food safely while maintain-
ing productivity. Innovative intuitive
clustering means that a single prod-
uct setting can be used for multiple
products, reducing set-up time during
product changeovers. Condition mon-
itoring provides early warning of po-
tential faults so issues can be resolved
during planned downtime.
Comply with standardsFood manufacturers must ensure they
comply with food safety standards, re-
tailer codes of practice and safety leg-
islation. Metal detection systems are
designed to meet all of these require-
ments. Key safety features include
robust, round-edge guards, safety
valves and guarded in-feed and out-
feed rollers that remove the risk of fin-
ger traps.
Maintain hygieneThe risk of bio-contamination can be
reduced by using equipment that sup-
ports demanding hygiene procedures.
Metal detection systems are designed
up to IP69K water ingress protec-
tion levels for operation in harsh en-
vironments. Custom designs for de-
manding applications are available,
including specialist hygienic feet and
transport belts, sealed edges and belt
lifters for efficient cleaning and prod-
uct handling.
Protect brandFood contamination can have disas-
trous consequences for manufactur-
ers, putting consumers in danger, and
negatively impacting their brand rep-
utation. The Profile Advantage detects
up to 50 percent smaller irregular-
shaped metal contaminants than tra-
ditional metal detectors. This ensures
products are free from contamination
and remain consistently safe and of a
high quality for consumers.
Innovative metal detection solutions from METTLER TOLEDO use advanced technology to
help manufacturers overcome these challenges and provide additional benefits to enhance
production line efficiency.

Food labeling basicsAll label regulations require some basic information: the name of the food, ingredients (including com-
mon allergens), manufacturer information and the net quantity of food in the package. Any additional
information is based on regional requirements, for example best before dates, the country of origin for
imported foods, or the use of specific terms to describe food. The table below shows the different require-
ments in the United States (US), European Union (EU) and China.
Label design and qualityRegulations are clear when it comes to label design: the name of the food must be given prominence
and the packaging must be easy to read. Incorrect information or damaged labels affect a manufactur-
er’s reputation and can have consequences for the consumer. It is vital that manufacturers detect label er-
rors before they become a problem. Every product should be inspected to ensure quality and correctness.
Clean, Clear LabelingEnsuring Compliance with Regulations
Consumers are becoming more aware of what goes into the products they consume, and de-
mand easily accessible information about the food they eat. The responsibility for food label
contents lies with the manufacturer. In order to comply with labeling regulations, they need
to understand the requirements of each product and ensure the label contains the correct
information.
Automated inspection helpsAutomating the inspection process ensures every product label is checked so that they meet the applica-
ble standards of the manufacturer, the industry and the country of sale. Products failing to meet the stan-
dards should be removed from the production line. With a proper label design and an automated label
inspection program, manufacturers can be assured that their products meet their compliance obligations.
