Over the past six months, xTrace Systems Ltd has successfully deployed xTrace.app abattoir solutions across two abattoir sites—delivering smarter, more connected operations in the process.
John M Munro Ltd
At John M. Munro’s facility in Scotland, our kill line system was successfully integrated with the existing livestock management system, replacing outdated data capture hardware and software. In parallel, abattoir data was seamlessly integrated into our factory MES platform, which has been operational since 2021.

This project was delivered through close collaboration between XTrace Systems and our UK hardware partners, Inspiron Systems Ltd.
