Information
The VC-i represents a revolutionary leap in poultry processing technology. it is the world's first intelligent vent cutter featuring PUPIL vision technology with artificial intelligence for performance monitoring. This innovative vent cutter delivers aonsistently high and robust performance through a profoundly hygienic process with minimal human intervention.
Improved technology
The vent cutter's technology has been completely overhauled, from the processing steps to the smallest details in its unit design. The VC-i features 20 newly developed units capable of handling a line speed of up to 15,000 bph. This improved technology ensures consistent, high performance with optimal hygienic conditions. Throughout the development of the VC-i, the cost of ownership (COO) was a key focus. The unit's more open construction enhances cleanability and minimizes cross-contamination risks. Additionally, its smart product detection system saves water by identifying empty shackles and adjusting operations accordingly.
Pre-defined recipes via automated settings
When a flock change occurs, you can easily select a pre-defined recipe via the HMI touchscreen. The VC-i automatically adjusts its independent settings to achieve optimal parameters (such as drill depth) for the incoming flock. Thanks to these recipe settings, manual adjustments based on guesswork are no longer necessary. By eliminating human error in this way, the VC-i ensures consistent, robust performance with minimal contamination risks across flocks and shifts.
PUPIL - vision technology with AI
PUPIL (Precision Unified Processing with Intelligent Learning) employs advanced deep-learning artificial intelligence to monitor VC-i's performance. It provides real-time insights into the efficiency of vent cutting, monitoring whether cloacas are positioned correctly.
