FAMADESA, a leading company in the Spanish meat industry, reinforces 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 makes it possible to optimise production processes and improve productivity by integrating the latest automation and digitalisation technologies. It also enables precise, real-time management, enhancing efficiency and the ability to make informed decisions.
With more than 55 years of history, FAMADESA is a benchmark in the production and export of pork-derived products. Founded in 1970 in Campanillas, Málaga, from a small slaughterhouse, the company has evolved to become one of the leading companies in the sector. It currently has an annual production capacity of 1,350,000 pig slaughters, produces more than 7,600 tonnes of cured meats and
carries out more than 380,000 cured hams. This commitment to digitalisation responds to the challenge of remaining competitive in a constantly evolving global market, consolidating FAMADESA as an example of innovation and excellence in its sector.
Innovation in production management
KAIS MES is a specialised system that optimises meat production through efficient resource allocation, reducing downtime and improving production processes. It provides continuous plant monitoring and control through customisable dashboards that turn data into valuable information for evaluating performance in real time.
KAIS MES drives the company’s Industry 4.0 automation with an innovative system for controlling robotic elements on production, packaging and boxing lines. It also includes comprehensive management of labelling lines and a contingency system for packaging trains. Real-time data collection, using technologies such as RFID and machine vision, allows production line managers to visualise the status of production in real time and track 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.
Digitalisation, a strategy for the future
The digitalisation strategy, backed by FAMADESA’s trust in KAIS, has been key to successfully optimising and transforming its entire production process. KAIS has enabled the company to automate and connect every stage of its production chain using advanced technologies such as smart sensors, next-generation controllers and machine vision cameras.
FAMADESA now has total real-time control over every phase of production, improving decision-making, reducing error margins and maximising productivity. The implementation has been made possible thanks to the close coordination between both companies.
