Building from scratch isn’t always the right answer.
There are often ways to get our current locations to work better for us.
This may be reorganizing the process flow or increasing capacity in core areas along the line. Using our proprietary processes and our partners' innovative products, we are able to more quickly add modular structures to original buildings, greatly enhancing speed to market.
Automation
Also, the meat industry has been slow to progress robotics and automation of repetitive or dangerous work. At Janus Solutions, we are constantly looking for non-human ways of solving these problems. We work with partners all around the world to build small scale solutions that can be scaled as the business scales.
Expansion
Expanding to other locations is mainly due to either the business environment changing, or sales opportunities existing elsewhere? Bringing the innovation of smaller, modular structures means that Janus Solutions can help to get solutions in place quickly so that you can keep your mind on the business at hand, no matter where it is.
Regulations
Changing regulations can be stressful. Most of the time, these changes require a swift change to production lines, quality control processes or the addition of interventions. Janus Solutions understands the equipment and products that can be quickly administered, at an affordable scale.
Extending Product lines
Profit in the meat industry means doing the very best you can with a purely natural product. Sometimes this means adding something to the original product that consumers are willing to pay more for. In meat this can be new cuts going to new markets, or it could be simply grinding the trim left over to be used as hamburger? One way or the other, this requires infrastructure changes or strategic partnerships with those that have perfected these options that get you closer to 100% meat and by-product utilization.
REASONS YOU MAY WANT TO UPGRADE YOUR FACILITY
Value-added or extending product lines
Maximizing carcass utilization sometimes means adding capabilities to grind or for further processing meats packaged directly to the consumer.
Efficiency through automation
Labour shortages or reducing exposure to dangerous or repetitive work can be mitigated through automated systems or equipment.
Expansion of current facility
Business is going well and there is a need to increase capacity in a core area of an existing facility.
Need to move locations
Either the business environment has changed, or the business warrants another location. Existing infrastructure needs to be moved.
Regulatory or Quality Assurance demands
The current facility requires compliance with certifications or quality control. Decisions need to be made on how this can be resolved quickly and on budget.
Including other species within existing facility
Focus needs to change to a multi-species facility to accommodate fresh business demands or opportunities.
