One of the largest business groups dedicated to the slaughter and processing of beef in Spain, GRUP VIÑAS, has trusted the KAIS software solution to drive its digitalization and automation, committing to turning its facilities into some of the most advanced in the sector. 4.0 automation and artificial intelligence are the keys to this innovative project within the meat industry.
CÁRNICAS J. VIÑAS, a company with a long tradition in the beef sector
GRUP VIÑAS offers a complete range of veal and beef products with full quality and food safety guarantees, achieved through its firm commitment to adapting its production processes to the most advanced technologies.
The group’s activity spans from the management of its own farms — encompassing the entire breeding and fattening process of around 20,000 head of cattle — through its own slaughterhouse — with a slaughter line also certified for Halal — and an automated cutting room.
GRUP VIÑAS, managed by the second generation and on its way to the third, has managed to evolve and adapt to current needs without losing its family character. It operates both nationally, distributing throughout Spain, and internationally, with commercialization on all continents. It currently processes 18,000 tonnes of beef per year.
Its central facilities are located in Vic (Barcelona), although it also has a processing and distribution center in the province of Alicante. Its innovative and advanced facilities, spanning 7,000 m² and with a capacity of more than 70,000 head per year, allow it to meet current domestic and international market demands, prioritizing quality and food safety at all stages of the production process.
A modern, fully robotized packaging room will soon be inaugurated, featuring comprehensive quality and process control, distinguished by its technological innovation. To achieve these high production and efficiency levels, the company has trusted KAIS to computerize and automate the entire business, as a further step in the group’s digital transformation.
Digitalization has covered farm management, the finance department, administrative management, and production control across all sections through planning, both in the slaughter area and in the cutting, packaging, processed products, frozen goods and logistics areas. Specifically, the new room links 4.0 processes with automation through machine vision systems.
