Ancera, creator of the world’s first food defense system, is announcing its newest technology innovation – APOLLO – at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE). APOLLO is a mobile command center for food defense, generating large volumes of actionable data to drive better decisions around food safety and production efficiency. Compared to manual methods, Apollo automates 75% of the touch points needed, all while ensuring more accurate and timely results. The APOLLO system was developed in response to concerns from poultry industry’s rising costs around labor, anti-microbials, and diagnostics. Ancera will showcase the technology at its IPPE booth #B38033 in Atlanta from January 28-30, offering demos and tours to attendees.

The food industry is challenged by a lack of infrastructure to support modern technology integrations for safety monitoring, despite its considerable spend of billions of dollars to enhance safety. The ability to have this new, automated lab equipment on-site with the rapid testing methods is a significant advancement in protecting the food supply and consumers. Precise monitoring reduces the spread of pathogens and allows companies to zero in on the origin to quickly and effectively apply interventions, reduce downtime, minimize the risk of recalls, and better protect consumer health. The advanced traceability and visibility offered by Ancera’s system create actionable pathways for companies to make operational improvements.

Fast access to actionable data has significant cost-savings implications for processing plants. Ancera data are already in use at processing plants to efficiently apply PAA and improve food safety around Salmonella Serotypes of Human Health Concern (HHC). As poultry companies aim to reduce their downtime, optimize use of anti-microbials, and accelerate compliance-readiness, Apollo will serve as critical infrastructure to enable data-driven decisions with actionable and complete information.

Meet Apollo: Live Automated Lab Demonstrations
Ancera invites poultry producers to be among the first to witness Apollo in action. Live, 15-minute demonstrations of the system’s capabilities will take place at IPPE, led exclusively by Ancera’s lab engineering team.
