Aquarius NG - Fish & Seafood Processing Software

The Aquarius NG system is designed to address the specific challenges of the fish and seafood processing industry, offering significant improvements in key areas:

Traceability:

The UK seafood industry has key legal requirements for traceability and labelling.

• Traceability means that fish and seafood can be tracked from the point of sale to the consumer, and all the way back to where it was caught. 
• Requirements for traceability apply to the entire distribution and supply chain for seafood products. 
• This includes: The name of the fishing vessel (or aquaculture unit), Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) species code, lot number, date of catch, catch area, production method. 
• Aquarius software automatically assigns products the correct traceability information by printing labels with barcodes. 
• Scanning these labels fetches the legally required traceability information, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of penalties. 

Yield Improvement:

• Aquarius helps optimise throughput and yield. 
• The system includes factory processing of sales orders and a filleting module. 
• Packing stations within the system are designed to capture yields. 

Weighing:

• ACSS founder Richard Clarke comes from a background of extensive experience of creating software for use with specialist weighing equipment. 
• The Aquarius system replaces the old method of handwriting weights and entering them into accounting software. 
• The system uses hardware and software to provide a complete solution for fish factories. 

Scanned Despatch System:

• The system has a scanner despatch module. 
• This enables a more efficient process with delivery drivers able to get away from the depot much faster. 
• Hand scanners are also used as part of the hardware.

Key Benefits to Highlight

• Accuracy: Eliminates errors associated with manual data entry and handwriting.
• Efficiency: Streamlines processes from goods in to despatch, reducing labor costs and saving time.
• Compliance: Ensures adherence to traceability and labeling regulations.
• Profitability: Optimises yield, reduces waste, and improves overall operational efficiency, contributing to increased profitability.
