The Problem

The site required a coordinated approach to support both routine operations and system improvements.

Each upgrade needed to connect smoothly with existing infrastructure while ensuring consistency of material flow and minimal downtime.

The Solution

AFSystems partnered with Scottsdale Pork across multiple stages, reviewing system layouts, identifying upgrade priorities, and planning work around live production schedules.

The focus was on maintaining operation first ensuring each installation or change improved performance without forcing extended shutdowns.

The Outcome

AFSystems worked collaboratively through each step, including:

  • Assessing feed and handling requirements across production areas
  • Supplying and installing equipment in coordinated, staged upgrades
  • Aligning system setups with ongoing farm logistics and workflow
  • Keeping clear records of changes for future maintenance and expansion

This staged approach allowed for continuous improvement and safer, more efficient upgrades.

After several completed projects, Scottsdale Pork now operates with enhanced handling reliability and easier system upkeep.

The site has reduced downtime risks, improved flow consistency, and gained flexibility to support future production increases.
