About Eureka Sausage Company

A leader in affordable, high-quality meat products, Eureka Sausage depends on precision at every production step. Failures in process or equipment can mean hundreds of thousands in losses – or worse, consumer risk.

Partnering with Xentric Solutions as their IT advisor, Eureka transformed its operations, turning vulnerabilities into strengths.

The Challenge:
Process Gaps Threatening Profitability

Every issue posed a risk of product spoilage, regulatory penalties, and rising operational costs.

  • Aging network hardware over 10 years old

  • Insufficient wireless coverage in critical areas

  • Frequent refrigeration failures and power outages

  • Manual data collection risking errors and compliance fines

  • Harsh environments damaging sensitive equipment

  • No real-time alerts for temperature spikes or open chiller doors

The Solution:
Smart Infrastructure & Environmental Monitoring

Xentric Solutions implemented Cisco Meraki’s advanced networking and sensor technology to:

  • Modernize Network Infrastructure

    Enterprise-grade firewalls, switches, and wireless access points boosted speed, coverage, and reliability.

  • Deploy Environmental Sensors

    Real-time monitoring of 11 chillers and 14 doors with automated alerts for temperature changes or open doors.

  • Protect Equipment with IP65 Enclosures

    Custom solutions to withstand daily washdowns, humidity, and airborne particulates.

  • Enable Cloud-Based Data Management

    Automated, centralized compliance reporting with secure backups — no more manual logging.

  • Real-Time Alerts via SMS & Email

    Immediate notifications prevent spoilage due to equipment failure or human error.
