QIM in Quality Assurance Systems

Monitoring Critical Parameters

Modern quality assurance systems require continuous monitoring of key factors such as freshness, temperature, and storage duration. QIM complements technical data by verifying quality through direct sensory evaluation, providing valuable feedback throughout the production chain.

Quality Assurance Across the Entire Chain

Proper handling practices on board fishing vessels and during transport play a crucial role in maintaining quality. QIM supports the development of additional indices, such as catch and processing indicators, which help standardize good manufacturing practices and ensure consistent quality from sea to market.

Processing and Production Control

Fish processors often rely on supplies from multiple sources and need accurate information about freshness stages. QIM assessments performed on whole fish at early stages enable reliable predictions of fillet quality later in the process. Using a shared evaluation system reduces costs, simplifies communication, and improves coordination between buyers and sellers.
