Line control and product tracking systems for post-harvesting
In post-harvest operations, managing efficiency and traceability is crucial. Challenges often include varied infeed speeds, inconsistent process monitoring, and difficulty in maintaining detailed product records, which are vital for quality and compliance.
Enhance line control and trace individual products
The Line Control and Product Tracking Systems from TOMRA offer comprehensive solutions for post-harvest processing. These systems utilize advanced digital tools to enhance operational efficiency and traceability from harvest to point-of-sale. The SmartLine SCADA system leverages industry-leading Wonderware® software by Aveva to provide situational awareness. This system contextualizes and simplifies line data, boosting process control. Additionally, the Adaptive Rate Controller uses infeed cameras and AI models to adjust input rates for large fruit automatically, ensuring optimal sorter performance. The Traceability system meticulously tracks each product, from field to shelf. The ability to pinpoint issues to specific times, fields, and bins minimizes product recall instances. These systems are pivotal for various applications such as fruits, vegetables, and other perishables, enabling better decision-making and improving overall line efficiency.
