Abaserve Food Solutions

Comprehensive Food & Meat
Processing Solutions

Engineered specifically to solve the unique operational, yield, and financial challenges of livestock processing facilities of any scale.

Abattoir & Kill Floor Synchronisation

Built strictly for the slaughter floor. High-speed carcass property capture, live rail hook sequencing, and automatic tare deductions for gambrels and hooks.

  • Weighbridge & Lairage Management: Capture gross/tare vehicle mass, animal lot origin, permit numbers, and veterinary clearances.
  • Official Biological Classification: Capture age classes, fat codes, conformation grades, and porcine backfat probe readings in split seconds.
  • Settlement Statements: Automated payout calculation based on a date-effective price list structure, with species-specific grade adjustments, penalties for bruising, and basic slaughter results summaries.
  • Pelt & 5th Quarter Realisation: Hook-linked pelt grading (wool length/quality) and red/green offal recovery tracking to monitor true slaughter margins.
Abattoir Floor System

Deboning & Net Realisable Value Costing

Carcasses sent to the cutting room undergo continuous weight and serial verification. Track input mass against packed output, trim, bone, and cutting shrinkage with full forensic lineage back to origin.

  • Net Realisable Value (NRV) Joint Costing: Allocates joint carcass costs according to the relative market realisation of primals, eliminating false weight-averaged margins.
  • Standardised BlockTest Recipes: Real-time yield gauge comparing actual primal recovery against recipe benchmarks.
  • 2-Tier Box Assembly: Portioning and vacuum-packaging on Line 1, aggregated into outer cartons on Line 2 with double-scan prevention.
  • GS1 Barcode Tagging: Native thermal barcode generation for outer cartons and pallets (GTIN-14, variable net weight, expiry date, batch number).

GIS Dispatch Commander & Mobile Driver POD

From algorithmic route sequencing to on-the-spot customer claims resolution—connect your sales office, delivery trucks, and customer receiving bays in real time.

The "Travelling Salesperson" Problem — Solved in Plain English

What is the Travelling Salesperson Problem? If your refrigerated truck has 8 or 12 different customer drops scattered across the province, what is the single fastest, shortest driving sequence that visits every customer and returns home without wasting diesel or backtracking?

In computer science, finding the absolute best route among thousands of possibilities is notoriously difficult. Instead of leaving dispatchers to manually guess stop sequences on a whiteboard, Abaserve Next mathematically solves this multi-drop puzzle in seconds.

Native Multi-Site Operations — Without Unnecessary Database Syncs

Operating multiple abattoirs, cutting rooms, cold stores, or retail butcheries traditionally meant managing separate database installations at each site—relying on fragile batch replication scripts, SQL sync tools, and VPN sync tunnels that fail overnight.

Abaserve Next is built from the ground up for unified multi-site operations with zero unnecessary database syncs. All your facilities connect to a centralised, high-velocity cloud platform in real time. Processing floor touch terminals buffer data safely offline during connection drops and commit automatically, eliminating sync conflicts and giving management instant cross-site visibility.

Zero DB Sync Nightmares

No scheduled replication batch scripts, no VPN sync bottlenecks, no data collisions.

Live Multi-Plant Intelligence

Track slaughter results, deboning yields, cold-room stocks, and dispatches across all plants live.
