Sanderson Farms Upgrades R8 Using Remote CFS Services | |
| |
Sanderson Farms recently completed their first plant upgrade to the newest version of R8. The latest version of Computerway’s production and inventory management software delivers technology updates including Active Directory integration, added security functionality and enhanced scanning features. What made this upgrade unique was that the entire process was executed remotely.
Though CFS was not onsite, Sanderson was assisted by CFS project manager, Tim Howell throughout the entire process. In addition, the CFS HelpDesk team was on standby during the upgrade weekend as all the system components were migrated and upgraded. The plant went live successfully with the updated system the following Monday morning. Contact your CFS Project Manager if you are interested in upgrading your current R8 system components to the latest version. | |

Throughout the 35+ years that CFS has been in business, we have recognized significant needs in food processing operations, and in response brought several new products to the industry. A critical goal that has been consistent for our customers throughout the years has been saving labor which has recently been highlighted by the COVID crisis.
Our President, Bill Altenpohl had the idea for a robotic pallet scanner to automate scanning cases onto a pallet, which not only reduces labor but also improves overall plant efficiencies. Our design, fabrication and controls teams have led the way creating a product that improves reporting timeliness, recall accuracy and product quality. It has been a team effort overall to deliver an innovative solution to our customers. | |
