The Nedap PorkTuner weighs each pig and automatically leads it to the correct feed type or to the delivery area. Based on the weight, the pigs are sorted to the left exit (50% of the lightest animals), the right exit (50% of the heaviest animals), or the middle exit (for example exact weight for slaughter). This means you do not have to close off a feeding area to start sorting for delivery, and during the full growing period there is always 100% feed capacity available.

The PorkTuner is equipped with an automatic tare system (from Velos version 2019.1 on). When a pig has left the weighing platform, the system automatically tares before the next pig comes in. That means that even if there is something like dung on the platform, the PorkTuner does not count that in the weighings to come.
The PorkTuner goes through 4 modes: Empty, Learning, Sorting and Delivery:
Empty
The area is empty.
Learning
Pigs learn in five phases to go through the PorkTuner to reach the feed area.
Sorting
The PorkTuner weighs each pig and automatically leads it to the correct feed area. Optional features for the PorkTuner that can be used during the Sorting mode:
Feeding advice. The system advices about the optimal moment to switch to another feed phase.
Marking. With marking certain animals can be recognized and marked, based on the weight or growth of the animals.
Delivery
Deliver pigs at target weight.
Depending on the PorkTuner mode, there are some tasks to do. The picture provides an overview of all tasks during the different modes.
