Longmont, CO, May 22, 2006- AgInfoLink USA,
a privately-held food traceability information solutions provider, has announced
the release of their Meat Inventory Tracking System (MITS) 2.0. The MITS
software program was developed to enable custom meat packing plants to identify
live animals, link them to individual cuts of meat through to point of sale, and
to help plants better manage their meat inventory. The initial MITS 2.0
product installation was just completed at Western Prime Meats in Weyburn, SK.
?#8364;œOur company has a very distinct market niche and it?#8364;™s important for
us to be able to manage our meat inventory and to substantiate the product
claims we make on each product we ship. We needed a traceability
system that is flexible enough to track our high-end meats from the live animal
to the carcass, to the primal, and then finally to the shipping box. We?#8364;™re very
excited about MITS 2.0 and what it can do for our business,?#8364;?said Mike Guest,
Manager of Western Prime Meats.
MITS, an affordable and easy to use carcass-to-cut traceability system for
small to medium size packing plants is in high demand because of today?#8364;™s
changing marketplace. ?#8364;œBeing able to help our customers tackle the challenges
associated with regulatory compliance, new export requirements, supporting
branded meat label claims, and day-to-day inventory management has been very
rewarding. Traceability, combined with added efficiencies in processes and
better management of information, will continue to be an important part of the
meat business, and we?#8364;™re making it easier for our customers to meet these
challenges and remain competitive?#8364;?said Lee Curkendall, Vice President of
Business Development for AgInfoLink.
AgInfoLink?#8364;™s MITS 2.0 builds upon a strong core product and includes
additional functionality such as the ability to track product by lot ID, animal
ID or cut type ID, to edit live animal data, and to manage meat cut inventory
within boxed product and storage location and much more!
