What is the MSD Animal Health SlaughterCheck?

The SlaughterCheck is a Flutter Web app that veterinarians and auditors use to register lung conditions per pig on location in slaughterhouses. The results are synchronised with a central CMS dashboard.

How are the audit results shared with pig farmers?

From the Angular CMS dashboard, PDF reports are automatically generated based on the audit data. These reports can be shared directly with pig farmers and veterinarians.

Can you build an audit or inspection app for our sector too?

Yes. The Next App has extensive experience building field apps for professionals who register on location, including offline support and report generation.

About the project

From paper audit to digital lung registration: real-time insight into pleuritis and mycoplasma

MSD Animal Health is part of Merck, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Through slaughterhouse research, MSD maps the spread of lung diseases such as pleuritis and mycoplasma. Veterinarians and auditors score the condition of lungs per pig on location at the slaughterhouse.

The Next App developed the SlaughterCheck: a Flutter app for offline use on location, connected to an Angular CMS dashboard where slaughterhouses are compared against each other and reports are generated automatically.

Challenge and approach

The challenge

Accurate registration on location, without an internet connection

Slaughterhouse audits take place in an environment where an internet connection cannot be taken for granted. Auditors had to score multiple lung conditions per pig and record that data without errors for comparative research. Paper registration led to mistakes and delayed analysis.

The approach

Flutter Web app with offline synchronisation and Angular dashboard

We built a Flutter Web app for offline registration on location. Once online, the data synchronises with an Angular CMS dashboard. Results are available in real time and reports are generated automatically as PDF or Excel export.

Result

Lung audits are now digital and analysed in real time

The solution we chose: a Flutter Web app for offline registration on location, synchronised with an Angular CMS dashboard.
