Systems And Methods For Facilitating Process Improvement

A system for automated microbial control in a poultry processing chiller, comprising:

• a poultry processing chiller component configured to implement a chilling process;
• a pH sensor and an imaging device communicatively coupled to the poultry processing chiller component, the pH sensor and imaging device configured to generate a pH datum and an imaging datum, respectively, associated with the chilling process;
• at least one controller communicatively coupled to the pH sensor and the imaging device, the at least one controller including:
• at least one storage medium;
• at least one processing device;
• and
• one or more coded instructions stored in the at least one storage medium, wherein the one or more coded instructions include a trained artificial intelligence model, and wherein the one or more coded instructions, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
• receive the pH datum from the pH sensor and the imaging datum from the imaging device;
• generate, using the trained artificial intelligence model, a predicted microbial load value by applying the pH datum and the imaging datum to the model;
• compare the predicted microbial load value to a predetermined microbial safety threshold stored in the at least one storage medium;
• and
• in response to the predicted microbial load value exceeding the predetermined microbial safety threshold, autonomously implement a remedial measure by causing an adjustment to a chemical control system, wherein the adjustment comprises instructing the chemical control system to dispense a peracetic acid solution into the poultry processing chiller component.

A method for facilitating process improvement, the method including:

• receiving, by at least one processing device, at least one datum from one or more data collectors, the one or more data collectors being communicatively coupled to a system component implementing at least one process;
• analyzing, by the at least one processing device, the at least one datum;
• determining, by the at least one processing device and based on the analysis, that the at least one datum indicates at least one potential problem associated with the at least one process;
• identifying, by the at least one processing device and in response to the determination, one or more remedial measures to prevent the at least one potential problem;
• and
• autonomously implementing, by the at least one processing device, the one or more remedial measures by causing an adjustment to the system component.
