Every grading session produces data. Livestocker imports it automatically from your SIME-TEK machine — no re-typing, no errors — and links it to packaging material consumption, shift logs and monthly production summaries.
Three problems that appear in every egg packaging operation that still handles grader output manually.
The SIME-TEK grader produces a complete, structured output at the end of every grading run — size categories, total count, cracked and dirty egg figures. Someone then types those numbers into a spreadsheet. The same data, entered twice. Every time there is an opportunity for a digit error that creates a discrepancy between the machine record and the management system.
Cartons, trays, labels and pallet materials are consumed during each grading session. But without a system that links material usage to the grading batch, consumption is only tracked in aggregate — making it impossible to calculate packaging yield by grade or to identify material waste per session.
At the end of each month, someone compiles total eggs graded, grade distribution, material used and customer deliveries from multiple spreadsheets and paper shift logs. This takes a day — and the result is a static document that's already out of date when it's finished.
If a customer raises a quality complaint, tracing which flock, which grading session and which pallet the eggs came from requires searching through multiple paper and digital records. Without batch-level traceability linked from grading through to customer delivery, the investigation takes hours.
From grader import to monthly summary — every step of the packaging operation is tracked automatically, with no manual re-entry of data the machine has already produced.
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| SIME-TEK Grader Auto-Import | Grading session data is imported directly from the SIME-TEK machine at the end of each run. Size category totals, cracked and dirty egg counts are all brought in automatically — no re-typing, no transcription errors. |
| Size Category Configuration | Configure size categories to match your market's standards (EU S/M/L/XL or custom weight bands). Categories are automatically mapped from the grader output — and can be reconfigured if your customer mix changes. |
| Packaging Material Inventory | Cartons, trays, labels and other materials are tracked in inventory. Each grading session consumes materials, and consumption is linked to the batch — giving you packaging yield per grade and an accurate inventory balance at all times. |
| Shift & Operations Log (digital signatures) | Shift start and end times, operator names, machine settings and observations are logged digitally per grading session. Supervisors sign off electronically — replacing paper shift sheets and creating an auditable operations record. |
| Batch-Level Traceability | Every graded batch is linked to the source flock and production date. If a customer quality issue arises, you can trace the complaint back to the specific grading session, the source flock, the machine settings and the operator on shift — in minutes, not hours. |
| Monthly Production Summary | Total eggs graded, grade distribution, packaging material consumed and revenue by grade are compiled automatically into a monthly summary. Generated on the first of each month — no manual preparation required. |
| Customer Allocation | Deliveries to each customer are recorded against graded stock — linking specific grades and quantities to the customer receiving them. See current stock allocated versus available, and total deliveries per customer in any period. |
| Material Reorder Alerts | Configure minimum stock levels for each packaging material. When inventory falls below the threshold, a reorder alert is generated automatically — so you never discover a carton shortage on the morning of a large grading session. |
The key metrics for an egg packaging operation — calculated from grader data and consumption records, without any manual compilation.
Stop Re-Typing Grader Data A 30-minute demo shows the full SIME-TEK import workflow, batch traceability and monthly summary generation — live in Livestocker.
The packaging module connects backward to the layer flock and forward to customer delivery records — so every egg is traceable from production to sale.
