Black Box Carcass Data Capture System

Reliable classification and payment recording on the kill line

The Black Box is a dedicated carcass data capture unit designed for abattoirs to securely record grading, weights and identification during slaughter. Replacing manual classification paperwork, it connects directly to scales, grading probes and printers to create an accurate electronic record in real time.

Portable and simple to operate, the system allows consistent data collection across species while reducing administrative effort and reporting errors.

Trusted data capture for your kill line

The Black Box replaces manual BCC, SCC and PCC recording with an electronic classification process.

As carcasses pass the grading point, the unit records weights, grades and identification directly from connected equipment. Information is stored immediately and can be shared with printers, terminals and management systems.

Because the data is captured at source, the risk of transcription errors or lost paperwork is removed. The result is accurate classification records, faster reconciliation and improved confidence for both processor and supplier.

Why electronic classification matters

Accurate livestock payments

Grading and weight data are recorded directly from equipment, preventing manual entry mistakes.

Improved audit confidence

Electronic records replace paper documents and provide a clear history of each carcass.

Reduced administration time

Reports and tallies are produced automatically instead of being compiled after production.

Flexible operation

Portable units can be used across multiple species and different kill lines.
