Improving food safety and profitability is key, and supply-chain intelligence can provide that. In fact, technology can monitor chicken in food production.
Consider the example of Ancera, which has data algorithms that identify which farms are underperforming and provide realtime visibility. The company’s product, CSM (Coccidia System Monitoring), gives integrators the ability to identify Coccidia, a disease that hinders poultry health and productivity. Ancera now integrates more than 100 data sources into profiles for each USDA FSIS-regulated facility by combining its proprietary diagnostic analytics, production history, and open-source intelligence.
Here is how this can help in food production:
- Quantify production risk, arming producers with the data needed to prevent adverse events.
- Optimize feed and control program costs.
- Manage poultry operations with new levels of precision.
Looking to the future, technology will more readily help manage animal diseases in food production, helping to reduce threats and increase margins. And this is certainly only one example. Supply chain intelligence can help in many different areas.
