DSL Systems DSL System’s AutoPilot4Feed - The leading process control, planning and information system for feed mills, pet food plants and pre-mix plants DSL Systems will be releasing the latest version 10 of the AutoPilot4Feed mill control and planning system in 2021 which will revolutionise support and upgrades. The intuitive user interface is now accessed through the web and will be continually updated with new functionality, patches and improvements. It is compatible with smart phones and tablets to improve access and control on the move. AutoPilot4Feed is fully configurable and has modules for controlling all areas of a mill.

Gold Agribusiness Management Software Optimising mill production time, producing the right formula rations for customers and ensuring delivery on time are some of the biggest challenges feed manufacturers face. In addition, providing audit and traceability of ingredients is essential to comply with legislation and the need for transparency, especially with medicated feed and the increasing role played by assurance schemes. Software can support these challenges and others, to protect margins, manage risk and provide the best value to customers. Gold enables feed producers to deliver total traceability from source,
through a mill, and the tracking of feed batches to the customer. The quality and laboratory functions further secure the trace capabilities using sampling and test recording for a total quality approach. Understanding the impact of forecast and actual sales on inventory and production can be greatly increased using Gold’s feed order ingredient break down
