Pork, back to every site the pigs passed through.

Record pigs by group and site, keep feed and medicines with each group, and make carcass and cut lots that name the pigs they came from.

The challenge

Pigs move in groups between farrowing, nursery and finishing sites.

  • Several sites per group

    Farrowing, nursery and finishing often happen on different farms, and each is a place the records must name.

  • Feed and medicines

    Feed and medicines, with their withdrawal periods, must stay with the group that received them.

  • Counted, then weighed

    Pigs are counted by the head, and carcasses, cuts and offal are weighed; the records must hold all of them.

How A-REX runs pork, step by step.

  1. 01

    Register harvests

    Register pigs by group and site, counted by the head, each lot with the origin reference of its farm. Slaughter and cutting then make lots in kilograms that name the pigs' lots as inputs.

    Facts

    Record what happens to a group without changing the lot: feed, vaccinations, medicines and their withdrawal periods, weighings, in fact types you define. Each fact says it was declared by your company.

    • Fact types in your own words
    • Each one marked declared by your company

    Lot rules

    Allow the sites, plants and buyers each lot may go to, and name the certificates it needs. Lot rules check every move and slaughter before it happens, and a new rule runs on trial against your real operations first.

    Processing

    Slaughter and cutting make carcass, cut and offal lots that each name the pigs they came from, in kilograms.

    • Carcasses, cuts and offal keep their inputs
    • Counted in, weighed out, both on record

    Lineage

    Open a lot of pork to see the groups and every site behind it, and everything made from a group. The recall scope lists every lot, holder and quantity a recall reaches.

    • Back to every site
    • Forward to every holder, for a recall

    Tracked deliveries

    Moves between sites and to the slaughterhouse are deliveries a person approves after your lot rules have checked the receiver. Tracked deliveries keep the custody record and, for chilled cuts, temperature against the agreed range.

    • Moves between sites keep the lineage

The journey, stage by stage

Every step is a proposal a person approves.

  1. Start from the pork chain

    Live pigs, pork and offal with their HS codes, by the head and in kilograms, the schemes buyers ask about, such as GLOBALG.A.P. and Organic, and what partners usually share.

  2. Register pigs by group and site

    Counted by the head, each lot with the origin reference of its farm.

  3. Record each move

    Moves from farrowing to nursery to finishing are deliveries that keep the lineage, and lot rules check every receiver.

  4. Keep the feed with the group

    Which feed each group received, as facts your company declares on its lot.

  5. Record medicines

    Each treatment and its withdrawal period as a fact on the group's lot, with who declared it.

  6. Slaughter and cut, keeping the inputs

    Processing makes carcass, cut and offal lots in kilograms that name the pigs' lots as inputs.

  7. Deliver with the evidence

    Lot rules check the receiver, the certificates and the expiry first, and a recall follows the same lineage.

The evidence it produces

What a buyer, an auditor or a verifier you allow can read, with who declared each part.

Lineage
Each lot back to its inputs and their plots or farms, and forward to every holder.
Lot facts
What your company declares about a lot, such as a treatment, the feed or a sample, each with who declared it.
Certificates and lab results
Each with its issuer, its validity and its evidence level.
Recall scope
Every lot, holder and quantity a recall reaches.
Commodity codes
Each product with the code of your country, from HS and NCM to CN and HTS.
EPCIS and UNTP
Lot events as EPCIS 2.0, and the UNTP product passport of a lot.

An evidence check lists what the records hold. It is not a legal opinion and never says that a lot complies.

Regulation crosswalk

What each rule asks of you, and where the platform keeps it. Evidence, not a legal opinion.
