Frequently asked questions
How do your data capture systems help with traceability in fish processing and comply with regulations?
Our data capture systems are designed to provide a robust and auditable trail throughout your fish processing operations. We utilize technologies like batch numbering and barcode scanning systems to accurately record key information at each stage, from receiving raw materials to final packaging. This data can include batch numbers, Landing ports. Method of catch, catch type, origin, processing dates, weights, and more. This data can all be printed on your final packing label. Our software then centralizes this information, allowing for easy tracking and reporting. Our packing labelling enables you to be fully compliant with both general food safety and The Fish Labelling Regulations Law 2013.
Correct fish labelling is crucial for compliance with the general food safety and Fish labelling Regulations law, allowing consumers to buy with confidence, labelling must be clear, legible and accurate, meeting regulations such as commercial and scientific species names, catch area, allergen information, a use by or best before date, storage conditions and more. Seafood traceability is the ability to fully trace a product from the point of sale back to the point of origin, labelling with traceability information clearly and accurately is also important for sustainability requirements. This detailed traceability helps with potential recall management, quality control, and proving the provenance of your seafood products.
Are your systems designed to withstand the harsh, wet, and often salty environments typical of fish processing factories? What materials are used?
Absolutely. We understand the demanding conditions within fish processing facilities. Our systems are built with industrial-grade components and feature enclosures made from stainless steel (316 grade) to resist corrosion from salt and moisture. We also design for ingress protection (IP 69K ratings) to ensure reliable operation in wet environments and during washdown procedures. Cables and connectors are selected for their durability and resistance to water and chemicals
How easy are your systems to clean and maintain to meet the strict hygiene standards of food processing?
Hygiene is a top priority in our designs. Our systems feature smooth surfaces, minimal crevices, and incorporate design elements that facilitate easy cleaning and sanitation. Regular maintenance is straightforward, with easily accessible parts and clear instructions to minimize downtime and ensure continued hygine operation.
Can your labelling systems handle the specific requirements for seafood labelling, such as species, origin, weight, and handling instructions?
Yes, our labelling systems are highly flexible and can be configured to meet the diverse and often complex labelling requirements for seafood. We support various label formats, sizes, and materials suitable for wet, chilled, and frozen environments. Our software allows for the inclusion of variable data such as species names (including scientific names if required), country of origin, catch area, weight, processing dates, sell-by dates, cooking instructions, and any legally mandated information. For any export sales the labels can be printed in the language of the export customer.
Do your processing and packing systems help to optimise yield and reduce waste in fish processing? How is this achieved?
Our processing and packing systems are designed with efficiency and waste reduction in mind. For processing and filleting, our software can minimize product loss compared to manual methods. Our packing systems can accurately weigh the portion products, reducing over-packing and material waste. Data collected by our systems can also provide valuable insights into processing yields, allowing you to identify areas for improvement and optimize your processes for maximum output and minimal waste.
Can your systems integrate with 3rd party software and App’s?
Yes, our systems are designed with flexible integration in mind. We integrate with your accounting software, EDI, website ordering, web ordering and POD (proof of delivery) and route optimisation Apps.
Our team has experience in working with various systems applications and can provide integration support to ensure a seamless flow of data and operations.
