Multi-format end-of-line automation in poultry allows for the management of different box and tray formats within the same cell, maintaining consistent throughput and load stability. This is especially useful when there are:

- Frequent changes in product type and weight
- A combination of fresh, frozen, and IQF products
- Space and labor limitations in cold storage
- Traceability requirements by batch and customer
- Integration with shipping and automated warehouses

In poultry environments with high SKU turnover, multi-format technology supports different weights, tray sizes, and packaging types (fresh, frozen, IQF) without lengthy mechanical adjustments. Recipe changes are executed from the HMI, and the line is synchronized with cutting, deboning, and packaging.

Multi-format packaging lines for poultry allow you to work with various tray and box sizes without mechanical adjustments. They are ideal when the following is required:

-Operating with different types of boxes
-Changing formats per recipe via the HMI

A multi-format solution is advantageous when flexibility is needed without increasing the number of lines or cells. It is often the best option in plants with:

- A broad portfolio of poultry products
- Medium or variable volumes per SKU
- Sales to multiple channels (retail, food service, industry)
- The need to change formats several times a day
- The objective of limiting CAPEX and space requirements

Multi-format end-of-line systems for poultry must handle different types of boxes and trays in a cold and hygienic environment. They are typically required to:

- Automatically adjust formats
- Operate in refrigerated or frozen areas
- Withstand frequent cleaning and chemical agents
- Operate at high throughput with controlled accumulation
- Integrate with weighing, labeling, and barcode reading
