The invention relates to an apparatus for processing food wherein food items are conveyed through processing stations where they are cut into pieces and optionally mixed with items originating differently. In particular, the invention relates to a system wherein information related to each food item and the positions of the food items throughout the processing are traced so that the origination of a food item is preserved.

Method and a system for tracking food items

A method and a system for tracing items through a non-synchronized process are disclosed. Information relating to items going through processing is obtained by a control mechanism, such as any processing device or an autonomous robot for transferring the item. The placement or position of the item after processing or transfer is stored as traceable information for the transferred items in a data base and the information relating to the item on arrival and the information after processing or transfer then contributes to historic information about the items.

Tracing items through a non-sequential process

The present invention relates to integrated processing and information handling method for poultry items. As the poultry items are conveyed they are assigned to a processing station where they are processed and thereafter assigned to a predetermined collecting bins, which is connected to a computer system. The information related to the number, the weight and the quality of poultry segments are registered and also the processing time. This information is important not only for the operators but also for the control and management where the status of each processing line can be monitored and refined.

Process and an application for item processing

The present invention relates to a process and an application for handling information in relation to meat being conveyed through a number of processing stations. The information is used to trace the processing history of a piece of meat, including its origination. The ability to trace the processing history may be used e.g. in order to trace back sources of contamination and for verification of the status and quality, weight etc. of the meat. The information is furthermore useful for the workers processing the meat at the stations or useful for the control and management of the meat processing plant.
