What is Symphony?
Symphony is Carlisle Technology’s enterprise-grade MES and WMS solution, purpose-built for meat processors.
What does Symphony do?
Symphony automates key processes including animal receiving, kill floor reporting, production tracking, inventory management, sales and order fulfillment, traceability reporting, and seamless ERP integration, streamlining operations and improving efficiency across your entire plant.
Use Cases
Operational use cases for Symphony
Animal Harvest
Track live animals from barn receiving through the kill process and into coolers. Symphony captures key carcass data, weights, grades, offal inspection, and yield, providing insights to maximize carcass yields and deliver a clear view of the entire kill floor process.
Production Control
Symphony gives processors complete control over production. Manage product PLUs, tare weights, and label formats to ensure regulatory compliance. Access clear reporting and dashboards for real-time visibility into daily production performance, so office teams always know what’s happening on the plant floor.
WIP Tracking
Symphony enables users to scan raw materials into production batches, recording serial numbers and weights. After transformation into WIP or finished goods, operators use the iCap weighing application to weigh outputs and link them to the original batch, ensuring complete traceability from raw material to finished product.
Inventory Management
Manage your inventory with ease using Symphony’s WMS application. Designed for your operational needs, it simplifies critical warehouse tasks like raw material receiving, cycle counting, WIP, and finished goods managemen, so you can maintain accuracy, reduce effort, and keep your inventory accurate.
Sales and Order Fulfillment
Symphony’s order fulfillment module gives you full control and visibility. Whether creating sales orders in Symphony or importing them from your ERP, orders flow to the plant floor for picking. Operators scan cases or pallets to each order, and office staff review, print shipping paperwork, and generate invoices seamlessly.
Product Features
Symphony connects your front office to the plant floor with an enterprise-grade manufacturing and warehouse management solution. Built specifically for the meat industry, it simplifies data flow and enables process automation, delivering seamless traceability and operational control across your entire production environment.
End-to-end traceability is achieved with Symphony. Enabling processors to track every step from receiving through manufacturing to shipping.
Centralized product management allows complete control over the operations PLUs, including descriptions, label formats, and tare weights.
Database-driven reporting ensures accuracy, whether using Symphony’s standard reports or exporting data for custom reporting needs.
ERP and accounting integration eliminates manual errors and double entry between systems, improving efficiency and data accuracy.

Symphony allows users to create animal receiving lots. Animals can then be weighed on a livestock scale. Operators will use an RFID tag to capture the animal’s unique ear tag number. Operators can also key in ear tag information if RFID isn’t an option. For animals that do not use ear tags such as hogs, tattoo numbers can also be input into Symphony. Once the unique ID is captured from the ear tag or tattoo Symphony will generate a carcass tag that will be used to track the animal to the hot scale.
For more automated processes, Symphony can track animals through the kill process with multiple types of technology. The most common methods are RFID, Trolley Vision, or Data Matrix Barcodes attached to carcass trolleys.

Yes, operators can record animal attributes such as breed, age (OTM/UTM), feed, and health demerits of the animals. Symphony’s pork kill floor application also allows users to capture animal health data on the heart, lungs, and other organs.

Yes, Symphony can track meat by-products that are able to be placed into a container and weighed. Containers can be anything that will hold the by-product (i.e., tubs, v-mags, combos, or trucks). The weights of the by-products are then tracked against the animal lot or production batch. Symphony’s kill floor solution will also allow operators to cut off parts of a carcass and weigh the cutoffs against the carcass weight.

Symphony delivers complete end-to-end traceability for meat processors, from receiving to shipping. It tracks carcasses through the kill process, from live scale to cooler, and records weights at each stage for accurate slaughter and shrinkage yield reporting. Hanging carcasses and raw materials are issued into production batches, which Symphony monitors throughout manufacturing. Finished goods are linked back to their original batch, weighed, and labeled. Finally, Symphony’s WMS streamlines order fulfillment from entry to picking and shipping.
