From challenge to

completed project

An Ontario pork processor was expanding its plant to increase capacity, and the new equipment had to hold up to high-volume production every day. Spark Power brought the addition’s automated systems online and stayed on to support the plant’s team after startup.

How we

solved it

  • Equipment designed to withstand wear and tear from processing up to 50,000 hogs weekly
  • Ensured animal welfare regulatory compliance throughout
  • Enhanced product quality while minimizing food waste
  • Maximized production efficiency while reducing downtime
  • Treated animal byproducts as gently as possible for use in secondary products
  • Trained programmers and technicians on all systems to ensure fast access to superior expertise
  • Provided 24/7 maintenance and troubleshooting services with on-site availability

The metrics

that matter

  • Animal welfare and regulatory compliance achieved. Automation systems designed and commissioned to meet food-industry and animal welfare regulatory requirements.
