Maintenance solution helps limit waste

31 January 2021

Norway-based poultry producer Norsk Kyllings, has selected the Infor EAM asset management solution for use in a new facility. 

Already live in the company’s existing  operations, the solution will now be extended to a new 40,000 m2  factory, to help support higher equipment availability, reduce costs and provide tighter inventory management for the food company.

Norsk Kyllings manages the entire value chain for chicken production – from brood and hatcher egg production, to hatchery, broiler production and processing. Its new facility aims to provide best-practice and innovation in food production, encompassing the highest animal welfare and environmental standards, and supporting the circular economy.
 
Digital capabilities and automation were intrinsic to the design of the new facility. Having selected an ERP platform for greater control over production and the value chain, Norsk Kyllings set out a requirement for a maintenance system which could help limit waste and reduce costs. 

Ulf Jensen, technical manager at Norsk Kyllings, takes up the story: “Excessive downtime can have far-reaching consequences in our business, so opting for a solution which can help ensure high availability of equipment and productivity across the factory is paramount. In addition to cost savings, a view of equipment status and higher availability, Infor EAM will also give us greater control over spare parts and stock.  We have more than 3,000 units in the plant register and up to 15,000 parts in the article register, therefore the automatic ordering capability within Infor EAM will optimise availability without incurring unnecessary costs.” 
 
Having the right digital capabilities is important for modern food producers, particularly those in categories which are managing tight shelf lives and significant waste. With the design of its state-of-the-art facility, Norsk Kyllings offers a good example of a company which recognises the value of technology and is using it to optimise availability, boost production and crucially, minimise waste to meet its high environmental animal welfare standards.
