Pas Reform equips Japan's Amuse Inc. hatchery with SmartPro™ system

Amuse Inc. has commissioned Pas Reform's SmartPro™ single-stage incubation technologies for its brand new five million eggs layer hatchery near Miyazaki, on the island of Kyushu, Japan.

With a total capacity of 12 millon hatching eggs per year, the new facility - the first Smart™ Hatchery' to be commissioned in Japan - will incorporate eight SmartSetPro™ 4 setters, eight SmartSetPro™ 2 setters and 12 SmartHatchPro™ hatchers. The hatchery will be equipped with Adaptive Metabolic Feedback™ (AMF™), to automatically adjust incubation programmes to the time-sensitive needs of growing layer chick embryos, and Energy Saving Modules™ (ESM™) to reduce the hatchery's energy consumption.

Amuse Inc.'s new hatchery will also be the first in Japan to commission Pas Reform's advanced SmartCenterPro™ hatchery information system, a web-based 'Internet of Things' approach to monitoring, managing and capturing data at every level of operations, from incubation and climate control to hatchery automation systems.

Pas Reform is further supporting the development of the new hatchery with engineering and technical services, including the installation of ventilation systems.
