The CSB Group is very pleased with the outcome of this year's IFFA. The leading trade show of the international meat industry in Frankfurt took place from May 3 to 8, with an impressive turnout of more than 63,000 visitors. CSB’s booth was also well attended. “Mastering Meat Business with CSB” was the guiding theme for the ERP and automation innovations showcased by the international provider. 

The focus was on integrated and automated control of processes geared towards smart meat factories, encompassing everything from management to production and mobile applications. Combined with the intelligent use of data, this enables companies to make fast and informed decisions, which is a decisive competitive advantage in the dynamic food industry.

The emphasis at the booth was on central digitalization areas and the CSB solutions to go with them.

• Integrate and leverage data: ERP, MES, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Reporting & BI, Planning and Forecasting
• Digitalize processes: Traceability, Quality Management, Production Optimization, Supply Chain Management, Process Monitoring
• Transform factories: Automation, Robotics, Digital Twin, Industrial Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing

The highlight was a live demonstration of artificial intelligence in action: CSB presented its “CSB Eyedentifier”, a powerful image recognition system that – aided by deep learning – automatically identifies, verifies, and sorts raw materials and products to support the processes in receiving, cutting, production, or packaging.
