FloVision Primal: Backstrap

Primal backstraps are tough and important to remove to ensure customer quality; removal spec is typically set to a maximum width, e.g. 25mm. Trimming inconsistencies that fall outside of the spec result in significant loss of yield and profit on each primal.

from trimming variability and over-trimming of backstraps. FloVision Solutions uses compact scanners to give station and floor managers visibility on their lines to intervene as these errors occur. The dashboard, FloVision Analytics, measures each backstrap and compares dimensions to the spec; any primals that are out of spec are compiled into a report and analyzed for opportunities to introduce new process efficiencies and butcher training.

In addition to trimming to a set width, primal backstraps need to be trimmed evenly across the primal to meet customer spec. Trimming inconsistencies that result in a varied backstrap width across the primal can result in lost yield and profit for meat processors. FloVision Solutions uses compact sensors at butchering tables to give operations personnel visibility of these cuts as they occur. The analytics dashboard, FloVision Analytics, measures the widest and narrowest points on the backstrap and provides traffic light grading (red, amber/yellow, green) based on the amount of variability between those measurements. This feedback is provided to butchers and managers in real-time, and compiled in a comprehensive report to reveal butchering trends and provide strategies for improved yield.
