Egg Processing Modules

Ovotrack uses a SQL Server database. This database is the heart of the Ovotrack system and is usually installed on the company server. In this Ovotrack database all data is stored. Furthermore, data synchronization with external software applications, like ERP systems, is done.

The communication with the breaker can also be set up here, as long as the breaking machine is capable of that. Communication is possible with all Sanovo OptiBreaker breaking machines.

Pre-printed labels can be generated for each egg supplier. These labels are typically provided to drivers collecting eggs at the supplier’s location.

Each label contains pre-registered information such as supplier name, address, egg type, and batch details. In addition, every label includes a unique ID, displayed both as text and as a barcode.

The supplier applies one label to each pallet of eggs and can add relevant information such as the quantity of eggs and the date of lay. This ensures accurate identification and traceability from the start of the process.

When trucks with ungraded eggs arrive at the packing center, the farm label barcodes are scanned. Scanning the first label automatically creates an Egg Purchase Order for the relevant farm and house. All delivery information shown on the labels and delivery documents, such as the date of lay and number of cracks, is captured in the Ovotrack Database, and the stock position of ungraded eggs is updated in real time.

If no label is available, for example when eggs are supplied by a non-contracted farmer, a new label can be printed directly within Ovotrack.

Optionally, a weighing scale can be connected to Ovotrack to automatically record and store the weight of each pallet. When using ECS® pallets, pallets can also be registered by reading the integrated RFID chips.

Ovotrack Stock Locations provides real-time visibility of inventory across your processing facility.

Within the module, multiple stock locations can be configured, including areas, sections, and rows. All uniquely identified materials in Ovotrack, such as ungraded eggs, packaging materials, reusables, and finished goods, can be assigned to a specific location by scanning the item label and the destination.

This ensures accurate location-based inventory control and provides a clear, real-time overview of stock per position throughout the grading operation.

At the breaker loader, pallet labels of incoming eggs are scanned using an Ovotrack wireless scanner. With each scan, egg inventory is updated in real time, ensuring accurate stock control.

When the breaking machine supports system integration, Ovotrack can exchange batch information and automatically capture breaking results through the Ovotrack Breaker Batches module. This ensures accurate batch registration and full traceability throughout the breaking process.

When the breaking machine supports system integration, an Ovotrack Loader PC is installed at the loader to enable direct communication. After the pallet label is scanned, relevant information such as supplier name, egg quantity, and date of lay is automatically sent to the breaker, where a new production batch is created.

At the end of the batch, the breaking machine returns production data to Ovotrack, including quantities of whole eggs and empty cups.

The exact moment of batch change is triggered using an RFID egg, ensuring precise batch registration. Thanks to this automated batch change, the loader does not need to run empty to determine accurate breaking results, preventing unnecessary production loss.

At egg processing facilities, incoming eggs are routinely tested for parameters such as Haugh units, yolk color, and shell strength. With Ovotrack Egg and Egg Product Quality, test results are automatically captured and stored in the Ovotrack database.

During receiving, an additional label is printed for the sample to be tested and sent to the laboratory. The module runs on an existing laboratory PC. Before testing, the sample label barcode is scanned using an Ovotrack wireless scanner. After completion of the test, the results are imported into Ovotrack and stored under the original pallet ID.

All quality data is centrally available for reporting, analysis, and quality control purposes.

Reusable transport materials such as plastic pallets, trays, dividers, crates, and pallecons are widely used in the egg industry. While these reusables are sustainable, they represent a significant investment and require accurate registration and tracking.

Ovotrack Reusables automates the registration and management of reusable materials. The module registers incoming and outgoing reusables, provides real-time insight into their location, and indicates when farms need to be restocked.

With real-time visibility, Ovotrack Reusables supports accurate planning and logistics. It also provides insight into the hygienic status of reusables and offers an overview of damaged materials.
Reusables can be registered both online and offline, at the production center or at the farm, by scanning with a pocket PC.

Ovotrack Reusables is fully integrated into the Ovotrack platform but can also be used as a standalone solution.

Within egg processing operations, not only eggs but also packaging materials and ingredients such as additives must be accurately registered and traceable. Upon receipt, a label can be printed for each pallet or batch. When materials are issued to the breaking or processing area, the label is scanned to ensure full batch traceability throughout production.

Supplier batch and traceability codes can be stored in the Ovotrack database, making accurate information readily available in the event of a recall.

Ovotrack also provides real-time stock control of packaging materials and ingredients. By monitoring current stock levels and usage in production, the system supports reliable planning and timely replenishment, helping to prevent interruptions in the processing workflow.
