Norsk Kylling manages its entire value chain for chicken production , from brood and hatcher egg production , to hatchery , broiler production and processing , as well as owning the Solvinge chicken brand . Its new facility will represent best practices and innovation in food production , encompassing the highest animal welfare and environmental standards , and supporting the circular economy .
Against this backdrop , digital capabilities and automation were intrinsic to the new facility ’ s design . Having selected an ERP platform for greater control over production and the value chain , Norsk Kylling set out a requirement for a maintenance system which could limit waste and reduce costs .
“ Excesive downtime can have far-reaching consequences in our business , so opting for a solution that can help ensure high availability of equipment and productivity across the factory is paramount ,” comments Ulf Jensen , Norsk Kylling technical manager . “ In addition to cost savings , a comprehensive view of equipment status , and higher availability , Infor EAM will also give us greater control over spare parts and stock . We have more than 3,000 units in the plant register and up to 15,000 parts in the article register , therefore the automatic ordering capability within Infor EAM will help us to optimise availability without incurring unnecessary costs .”
“ The right digital capabilities are absolutely paramount for modern food producers , particularly those in categories that are managing tight shelf lives and significant waste ,” comments Infor ’ s Johan Made , executive VP for the Nordics .
