Evaluating CSB System for your meat processing plant? See how BRAINR delivers better shop-floor coverage with native mobile apps, in-process quality and a modern interface, without the huge CAPEX investments and maintenance costs.
The honest comparison
Both platforms cover the core of meat processing. The difference your team lives with every day is mobility, quality at the point of work, and how fast the floor adopts it.
Where BRAINR Pulls Ahead
Operators work from tablets and phones on the line. No tethered terminals, no walking to a station to log every step.
Quality checks happen live on the floor, in the operator's hands, not after the fact at a computer or on paper.
A modern interface your team adopts in days, deployed without the CAPEX and IT overhead of a legacy on-premise rollout.

Advanced batch & lot management
Full traceability from intake to dispatch.
Backflush & forwardflush
Automate raw material consumption based on production output.
From disassembly to assembly. BRAINR handles cutting and deboning just as well as mixing, transformation and packaging with full yield and lot tracking at every step.
Switching is not a rip-and-replace
You do not throw away what works. BRAINR layers on top of your ERP and machines, then takes over the shop floor at your pace.
Functional and technical needs are captured.
BRAINR is configured and connected to the ERP.
The data for the section is prepared and loaded.
The setup is tested with key users to surface any issues.
The section's users are trained on the system.
The software goes into live operation in the section.
Issues are fixed and the cycle repeats for the next release.
What operations leaders say
“With BRAINR’s digitalization, production order control became much more dynamic, helping us avoid wasting raw materials and labor.”
“BRAINR gives us just-in-time operational visibility. At every moment, we know what is being produced on each line, what came in and what is being consumed.”
“With BRAINR we estimate annual savings between 3.5 and 7 million euros. Digitalisation allowed us to move from a reactive operation to a much more efficient and predictable one.”

Straight answers
You don't scrap it. BRAINR integrates with your ERP and machines and takes over the shop floor where legacy systems struggle most: mobility, in-process quality and real-time visibility. You keep the investment that still works and modernise the part your operators touch every day.
Yes. Our cloud-native architecture is exactly what sets us apart: it lets us deliver far more functionality in far less time. Catchweight, GS1 scanning, batch and lot management, co-product and by-product tracking, backflush, machine and labeler integration are all built in, on a mobile-first, real-time platform, without decades of legacy code holding it back.
This is our main differentiator versus CSB. BRAINR has the most advanced design on the market, with a modern interface and native tablet and mobile apps, so operators become familiar with it in days, on the line, instead of navigating legacy code-based screens at a fixed workstation.
A phased rollout starts with one line as a low-risk pilot, then scales. As a reference, an average poultry processing plant can be fully digitised in around three months.
No. BRAINR is cloud-native, so you avoid the upfront CAPEX and IT overhead of a traditional on-premise deployment while keeping shop-floor reliability, and the best cloud security and data security of AWS.
