The process involves comparing data relative to group of fowls with data related to a coded group identifier and/or to specifications of a label. The former data is related to the identifier if it is compatible, otherwise an error message is displayed. The identifier is input during kosher killing to compare the data related to the identifier and specifications. A tag relative to the label is prin...

The method involves determining the driver type by measuring the fuel consumption. A desired value for the fuel consumption is determined on the basis of the actual operation point of the engine and the fuel consumption required to overcome the travelling resistance, comparing it with an average measured actual value and obtaining a measurement for the driver type or a correction for the parameter...
