MTech Systems, the global leader in protein production software, recently launched a ground-breaking new production planning optimizer (PPO) for meat processers. PPO leverages artificial intelligence models that consider a large volume of variables simultaneously, testing a variety of scenarios in minutes to find the best use of resources to achieve optimal output and reduce waste.
The true power of PPO is in its ability to forecast what-if scenarios to help processors understand how potential input changes may impact the operation daily. For example, what if a plant needs to close due to COVID for a period, or what if a plant wants to add a new piece of equipment to the line? The solution allows producers to see how these variables will impact the plant before they actually make changes.
