Smart Factory for Fresh & Frozen Seafood

From Catch to Cold Chain—Total Control at Every Step

A Better Way to Run Your Operation

In seafood processing, the pace is relentless and the expectations are uncompromising. Delays impact shelf life. Inconsistencies affect trust. And every gram matters.

Afisol’s Smart Factory platform helps streamline and stabilize operations—without disrupting the flow. From the first weighing at the dock to the final packing list before dispatch, every stage is mapped, recorded, and made visible.

The result? Fewer surprises. Fewer gaps. And greater confidence in your day-to-day.

Where Advantage Takes Shape

Factories that operate efficiently don’t rely on luck. They rely on systems that offer:

– Clarity at receiving
– Visibility through production
– Structure in cleaning and freezing
– Precision in packing and exporting

Afisol enables these conditions—quietly in the background, consistently on every shift.

🧭 Process Overview

Receive Catch → Quality Check → Weigh & Grade → Clean & Process → Freeze → Pack & Export → Analyze Yields

🔧 System Highlights

Receiving Integration

Catch is recorded the moment it arrives. Trolleys, crates, or direct unloads are logged with supplier, product type, and weight. Integrated weighbridge or scale support ensures accuracy from the outset.

Quality & Temperature Logs

Checks for texture, appearance, and temperature are built into the process. Each entry is tied to the batch and time—creating a reliable trail for quality teams, exports, and regulatory checks.

Cleaning Oversight

Cleaning processes are structured with time tracking and stage control. Supervisors can review inputs, outputs, and cleaning durations per batch, reducing subjectivity and improving accountability.

Cold Chain Management

Processed lots are assigned to freezers or cold rooms with timestamped entries. The system tracks product age, available capacity, and batch status, ensuring the right stock is dispatched at the right time.

Packing & Labeling

Create box and pallet labels tailored to customer formats. Include expiry, catch origin, product code, and traceability data. Labels are barcode/QR-ready and generated in sync with dispatch planning.

Export Documentation

No more hunting through folders. Export documents—invoices, packing lists, health certificates, COO—are generated in system-approved formats in just a few clicks.

✅ What You’ll Experience

Smoother Flow
Staff handle tasks with fewer handoffs and clearer steps. Work feels more predictable.

Clean Audit Trails
