Fish and Seafood Processing is a race against time and rust.
You are processing a perishable product in a cold, wet, salty environment.
Equipment rots faster here than in any other industry.
Electrical panels short out. Conveyor chains seize.
Generic software assumes a dry factory.
Seafood Maintenance Software must assume a wet, corrosive environment where "Washdown" is the most dangerous time of day.
Here is the 2026 guide to reliability on the coast.
1. Corrosion Control (The Electrical Risk)
Salt water spray enters electrical cabinets.
-
The Risk: Short circuits and fire.
-
The Strategy: The "Dry Box" Check.
-
The Routine: Weekly inspection of panel seals and desiccants.
-
The Validation: Technician snaps a photo of the interior. If corrosion is spotted, the panel is scheduled for immediate refurbishment.
2. The Filleting Machine (Yield)
Automated filleters are precision robots.
-
The Metric: Yield (Meat recovery).
-
The Maintenance: Blade sharpness and Belt alignment.
-
The Tracking: Track "Fish Count" via PLC.
-
The Trigger: "Machine has processed 50,000 fish. Replace Blades."
3. Refrigeration & Ice Machines
Ice is the lifeblood of the process.
-
The Monitor: Ice Machine Cycle Time.
-
The Data: Connect Fabrico to the Ice Maker.
-
The Alert: "Ice harvest cycle taking 20% longer." (Compressor issue or scaled plates).
-
The Fix: Descale the machine before it stops making ice.
4. Sanitation Handovers
Cleaning a fish plant involves aggressive foam and high pressure.
-
The Risk: Water in the motors.
-
The Strategy: Pre-Wash Protection.
-
The Checklist: "Bag all motors? Cover HMI screens?"
-
The Log: Digital sign-off by Maintenance before the Sanitation crew turns on the hoses.
Conclusion: Hold Back the Rust
The ocean tries to reclaim your machinery every day.
Your maintenance system is your shield against corrosion and spoilage.
Keep it fresh.
