The contract also includes Hatchery Automation Systems from Pas Reform, with a points-down precision egg setting line and Pas Reform’s innovative, SmartCount  system, that uses vision-technology to gently count, vaccinate and analyze the day-old chicks.

The hatchery’s owner, identified as Mr. Andin in a press release issued by Pas Reform, stated:  “Oktyabrskaya is among Russia’s top suppliers of high quality poultry meat and products. With such a commitment to quality, we were rigorous in choosing a partner who would not only provide reliability, sustainability and innovative technologies in our new hatchery - but one that would also support us at every stage of the project and its development.”

Wim Schaafsma, managing director of Pas Reform Russia, concludes: “Mr. Andin and his team are looking to the future with Smart technologies and it is a privilege to be working with them. We are proud to have been awarded this project and look forward to contributing to Oktyabrskaya’s future growth and success.”
