Line control and product tracking systems for post-harvesting
Optimize your production line with precision control and real-time product tracking, enhancing efficiency and ensuring traceability from harvest to the point-of-sale.

Monitors and Optimizes Production Line Efficiency
The SmartLine Supervisory Control and Product Tracking System from TOMRA is designed to revolutionize your food processing and agricultural operations. By leveraging the power of the industry-leading Wonderware® software by Aveva, this system offers a comprehensive approach to managing production lines with precision. Central to its functionality is the SCADA-based control, which allows for real-time monitoring and data acquisition, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency.
SmartLine supports a wide range of applications, accommodating the complexities of processing fruits, nuts, dried fruit, potatoes, seafood, seeds, grains, vegetables, confectionery, coffee beans, and pet food. Whether you’re producing fruit juices, potato chips, or packaged seafood, this system ensures that each step—from sorting and speed optimization to final packaging—is tightly controlled and traceable.
The Adaptive Rate Controller is a highlight, offering dynamic infeed speed adjustments to optimize the sorting process, effectively handling large volumes of product. Meanwhile, the FreshTracker system provides unmatched traceability, pinpointing product issues down to the picker and field, which minimizes the risk of complete recalls.
Integration is seamless, with capabilities for automation and supervisory control, making it suitable for continuous and high-speed operations. The system enhances both line efficiency and accountability while being adaptable to specific customer needs. With TOMRA’s global service support, you can ensure minimal downtime and continuous optimization of your production line.
