Data and Equipment

Smart Solutions

Permanent process monitoring is key to modern poultry organisation. From breeder farms to slaughter, equipment connectivity or process digitalisation is now a must-have. Ceva Smart Solutions is bringing a new dimension to tackling tomorrow’s poultry producer challenges.

Hatchery Vaccination

Best vaccines will never work if they are not properly delivered. Ceva hatchery vaccination technology was developed to ensure the highest vaccination quality, within hatchery conditions. Hatcheries of different sizes and production systems can now benefit from top-class in-ovo, subcutaneous, spray or gel vaccination.

In our C.H.I.C.K. Program, we make available a full set of procedures (SOP’s) to train and evaluate hatchery staff on the best practices for every stage in the hatchery vaccination process.

From storage of vaccines, vaccine mixing procedures, and administration quality through to equipment care, all steps are carefully covered for successful vaccination.

Hatchery Technology

New challenges, like the lack of human resources, are arising, disrupting traditional poultry systems to adapt to new market standards. Ceva hatchery technology helps to improve egg quality for better chick health.

Digital transformation: a new standard for modern poultry production

The poultry industry is shifting toward connected, automated, and data‑driven systems. Hatcheries and producers increasingly rely on digital tools to improve precision, reduce labor dependency, and ensure consistent quality across operations. Ceva’s advanced technologies support this evolution by enabling seamless data collection, traceability, and performance optimization throughout the vaccination process.

Why data matters more than ever in hatchery operations

Accurate and continuous data monitoring has become essential for achieving high‑quality, repeatable results. Hatcheries can now:

Monitor critical parameters such as vaccine dosage, spray quality, machine performance, and workflow efficiency
Detect deviations early, allowing teams to take corrective action before productivity or chick quality is affected
Standardize procedures across teams, shifts, and sites
Strengthen biosecurity by improving traceability
Optimize operational costs by minimizing errors, waste, and downtime

Ceva Smart Solutions are designed to transform raw data into actionable insights, helping hatcheries make informed decisions that enhance overall performance.

Precision vaccination: consistency, traceability, and animal welfare

Vaccination is a critical step in shaping the health and productivity of future flocks. Ceva’s equipment and digital tools ensure:

Consistent vaccine delivery, even in high‑throughput environments
Full traceability from vaccine preparation to application
Reduced human error through automation and intelligent monitoring

These innovations help hatcheries deliver stronger, healthier chicks while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Automation and robotics: meeting today’s operational challenges

Labor shortages, rising production demands, and stricter quality requirements make automation a strategic necessity. Ceva’s connected equipment provides:

Reduced manual handling and improved ergonomics for hatchery teams
Standardized processes, essential for audits and certifications
High reliability, even in fast‑paced, large‑scale hatcheries
Compliance with evolving industry standards, including biosecurity and sustainability

Automation not only improves efficiency but also ensures repeatable, high‑quality results across every batch.

Sustainability and efficiency: building the future of poultry production

Smart equipment and data‑driven systems contribute directly to more sustainable operations by:

Reducing energy consumption through optimized workflows
Minimizing waste by improving vaccine accuracy and chick quality
Enhancing resource efficiency, from labor to consumables
Supporting long‑term environmental goals aligned with global market expectations

Digitalization and automation are key drivers of a more responsible and efficient poultry industry.
