Just like with all of our products, the technology used for developing GÉMINIS enables the combination of relevant features (such as data reliability, transaction management performance, platform scalability, and information availability throughout the company). This technology both optimizes the automation of processes and clearly eases the management of information and its interaction with the end user.

This system considers all steps from Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (livestock purchase and reception, corrals assignment, slaughtering schedule, slaughtered livestock typification, weighting, quartering and deboning program, entry into quartering, deboning, packing, up to dispatch. Traceability is provided from the arrival of livestock to the dispatching of the different cuts.

Livestock Purchase

Buyers register negotiations and generate Purchase Orders –specifying the number of animals, category, origin, price agreed upon (whether per live or clean kilo), freight charges, place and delivery date. Reception of livestock: The weight of incoming and outgoing cattle is controlled, transfer documents are checked, and the corresponding corral is assigned at the corral office. The system automatically assigns a troop number taking into account the slaughter user, the livestock type and the origin. The number of caged, fallen, and dead animals is verified.

Slaughtering Schedule

The slaughtering schedule is prepared, taking into account the existence of corrals and the destination of the production. The slaughtering lists, increases and schedule are generated. Slaughter:
Based on the slaughtering list, the system suggests the entry of each troop. At the slaughtered livestock platform terminal, half cows are typified by animal type, category, fat degree, destination, and potential confiscations. The weight registered by the scales is recorded, bar code tags are printed, and half cows are transferred to airing chambers. Once the slaughtering of each troop has been finished, the weighting sheet is printed. Quartering and deboning schedule:
Taking into account the stock in all chambers, the quartering and deboning schedule is prepared. Based on the destination, quartering and deboning formulae are applied, which determine intermediate products (quarters, R&L, crosscut ribs, etc.) and final meat cuts. Quartering:
After each half cow is transferred to quartering, its weight is measured after the airing process, the difference is recorded, and the corresponding quarters –which are then directly transferred to deboning or intermediate chambers– are cut pursuant to the formula determined by the schedule. Different meat cut groups, which are weighted and labeled for their dispatch, are also prepared during this process.

Deboning

As the deboning and primary packing take place, meat cuts are placed in heavy boxes that are entered into the system –which issues the corresponding tags for each box. These boxes are then taken to finished product chambers.

Dispatch

At this stage, the system continues with the business management module –which, based on orders, prepares dispatches and issues dispatch notes and invoices.

Automatic Posting

The slaughtering, quartering, and deboning processes are entered into the Cold Storage Accounting module. They can also appear in General Accounting records using the periods to be defined (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
