Cargill and FMS introduce Pennent system to boost feed mill efficiency
Press Release
Cargill and Feed Management Systems (FMS) have teamed up to introduce the Pennent system, a web-based integrated software system designed to improve feed mill efficiency and lower costs.
The Pennent system combines Cargill's successful Model Mill, Maintenance Manager and Mill Audit global solutions with FMS' strong ability to develop and support commercial software to the animal feed industry.
The system works by providing the ability to benchmark a mill's internal cost standard and setting a cost model based on that individual mill's specifications, which helps facilitate better decision making.
''This is secure, proven technology that helps ensure a mill is performing at its highest level,'' said Bill Mead, global portfolio manager for Cargill Animal Nutrition. ''The Pennent system is versatile enough for mills of all sizes. It's a great tool to help ensure a mill is as productive and cost-effective as possible.''
