GHCORP - Process weighing in a poultry feed plant

The customer

Ghcorp is a Peruvian industrial complex made up of several poultry feed factories, poultry farms, hatcheries and slaughterhouses. Ghcorp produces more than 350,000 chickens per week.

The solution was designed in partnership with Schneider Electric and TUPUNATRON, automation company and distributor of SCAIME for Latin America.

Customer requirement

The customer wanted to modernize its production of poultry feed with the construction of a new fully automated factory.

GHCORP needed a system to control and monitor the entire production process:

  • Control of material reception, dosing, grinding, mixing, granulation and packaging.
  • Configuration of formulas to be produced.
  • Reports of the different types of food produced.
