Egg control at farm level: How it works

Operators can easily set a production goal and collection strategy. All barns then automatically synchronize to maintain consistent egg output. If one barn’s production drops, the other barns adjust their flow speed to compensate, keeping the centralized egg flow smooth and steady. This level of fully automated coordination reduces fluctuations while allowing your packing station to run at full capacity. Fortica-CEC boosts your profit by saving on labor costs and reducing egg breakage.
