I. Project Background and Application Requirements
With the comprehensive implementation of food safety management systems such as GMP, HACCP, SSOP, and ISO22000 in the meat processing industry, enterprise information systems—such as MES, traceability systems, and production visualization platforms—have gradually extended from back-end offices to front-line production.
In key production areas such as slaughtering, cutting, cold chain, and packaging, the on-site environment exhibits the following typical characteristics:
- High humidity, high salinity, and strong corrosion;
- Multiple daily high-pressure hot-water and chemical cleanings;
- Alternating operations between clean and non-clean zones with frequent hygiene inspections;
- MES terminals must operate continuously and feature anti-contamination design.
Therefore, MES terminal equipment must meet the following key requirements:
- Full-machine waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant design, capable of withstanding high-temperature, high-pressure water jets and chemical cleaning;
- Anti-condensation, anti-steam, and anti-bacterial accumulation design, maintaining clear visibility and long-term seal reliability;
- Compliance with food-grade sanitary standards, featuring no dead angles, easy cleaning, and verifiable hygiene design;
- Data security and system protection to ensure stable MES operation and data traceability;
- 24/7 continuous operation with an optimized balance between performance and power consumption.
II. Equipment Selection Basis and Design Concept
Considering the hygienic and operational characteristics of meat processing plant clean zones, this solution adopts the CESIPC all-stainless-steel waterproof industrial panel PC as the on-site MES terminal.
This product series is constructed with food-grade stainless steel and features an IP69K full-machine protection design, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion, condensation, impact, and cleaning—perfectly suited for meat-processing environments.
Design Concept:
From the dual perspective of food hygiene design and system reliability, the goal is to ensure that the equipment can withstand inspection and cleaning processes while maintaining continuous MES operation and data integrity.
