## Live Bird Receiving (LBR)

#### CAT Squared’s Live Bird Receiving (LBR) software helps poultry processing plants manage live operations more efficiently by capturing real-time data on truck arrivals, fan bay wait times, DOAs, line speeds, efficiency, and downtime. This data provides critical insights for optimizing line performance, minimizing delays, and improving yield tracking.

The LBR module receives lot information directly from [Live Bird Weighing (LBW)](https://www.catsquared.com/live-bird-weighing?hsLang=en) and passes it seamlessly to downstream systems such as [Inspection & Disposition (I&D)](https://www.catsquared.com/inspection-disposition?hsLang=en). It also tracks grower performance by recording average bird weight, rejects, farm condemns, and yield metrics across all deliveries. With this data, operations managers can compare performance by grower, improve supplier accountability, and identify opportunities for live-side process improvements.

### Key Benefits

- **Extends yield analysis** from [LBW](https://www.catsquared.com/live-bird-weighing?hsLang=en) by capturing actual bird weights and rejection data
- **Live operations visibility: **Monitor bird counts, load progress, and fan bay delays in real-time
- **Grower performance tracking **with automated rankings based on delivery quality and yield
- **Supports full traceability** through evisceration and beyond
- **Seamless integration **with [LBW](https://www.catsquared.com/live-bird-weighing?hsLang=en) and [Inspection & Disposition](https://www.catsquared.com/inspection-disposition?hsLang=en) modules
- **Reduces manual data entry **through automated sensor and counter integration

### Core Features

- Configurable hang queue priority to manage lot flow by shift or truck
- [Live dashboards](https://www.catsquared.com/executive-dashboard?hsLang=en) showing waiting and processed truck status
- Integration with on-line bird counters to track shackle fill, DOAs, rejects, and weights
- Real-time line speed, efficiency, and downtime tracking
- Lot-level tracking from receiving through first processing for regulatory compliance and yield visibility
