FAMADESA, a leading company in the Spanish meat sector, is strengthening its commitment to technological innovation through the comprehensive digitalisation of its new facilities. The company has
implemented the advanced KAIS MES system in the key areas of its new production plant: slaughterhouse, cutting plant, ham rooms and stabilisation room.
This system allows for optimizing production processes and improving productivity by integrating the latest automation and digitalization technologies. In addition, it facilitates precise, real-time management, enhancing efficiency and the ability to make informed decisions.
With more than 55 years of experience, FAMADESA is a benchmark in the production and export of pork products. Founded in 1970 in Campanillas, Malaga, from a small slaughterhouse, the company has evolved to
become one of the leading companies in the sector. Currently, it has an annual production capacity of 1,350,000 pig slaughters, produces more than 7,600 tons of sausages and makes more than 380,000 cured hams. This commitment to digitalization responds to the challenge of remaining competitive in a global market in constant evolution, consolidating FAMADESA as an example of innovation and excellence in its sector.
Innovation in productive management
KAIS MES is a specialized system that optimizes meat production by efficiently allocating resources, reducing downtime and improving production processes. It provides continuous monitoring and control of the plant
through customizable dashboards, which convert data into valuable information to evaluate performance in real time.
KAIS MES drives the company’s 4.0 automation with an innovative system for the control of robotic elements on the production, packaging and boxing lines. It also includes the comprehensive management of the labelling lines and a contingency system for packaging trains. The collection of data in real time, using technologies such as RFID or artificial vision, allows those responsible for the production line to view the status of production in real time and monitor the KPIs to detect incidents, identify bottlenecks and reschedule the process to avoid interruptions.
With KAIS MES, all production is managed comprehensively through a single solution. This not only simplifies and optimises internal processes, but also ensures greater data consistency, traceability and quality in production processes.
Digitalization, a strategy for the future
The digitalization strategy, backed by FAMADESA’s trust in KAIS, has been part of the key to successfully optimizing and transforming its entire production process. KAIS has allowed the company to automate and connect each stage of its production chain through advanced technologies such as smart sensors, state-of-the-art controllers and machine vision cameras.
FAMADESA now has total real-time control of each production phase, which improves decision making, reduces the margins of error and maximizes productivity. The implementation has been possible thanks to the close
coordination of both companies.
