Background
Our client has been in the food production industry for over 38 years. They specialize in producing high-quality, homestyle products made from fresh ingredients. The client’s commitment to quality and freshness requires meticulous production processes, most of which are manually intensive and could benefit from increased automation for improved efficiency and safety.
Challenges
Before discovering EnSight Solutions, the client faced significant challenges related to the manual loading of hoppers. The process involved one team member hand-loading/shoveling products manually into hoppers. This heavy, repetitive lifting had resulted in previous back issues and other injuries. It also limited operational efficiency because the following line could only operate as fast as the loader could manually fill the hoppers. The client’s maintenance team was also under constant pressure, as existing equipment required frequent attention and upkeep. The need for a reliable, efficient solution to reduce manual labor and prevent injuries became apparent.
Solution
Approximately a year ago, the operations director of this fresh food processor found EnSight Solutions through our website. Impressed by an EnSight column dumper they already had onsite, the client decided to incorporate EnSight Solutions’ equipment into their production process. The introduction of EnSight Solutions’ machinery has been transformative.
