The Little Potato Company

The challenge

For The Little Potato Company, Atumind implemented an advanced production floor orchestration platform to support a wide range of processes. The processes include sorting, washing, mixing, packaging and inspecting potatoes. A specific challenge for The Little Potato Company is to efficiently mix two or more different potato varieties. Extensive synchronization of this process with ERP (Business Central) makes advanced pallet management possible.

Atumind's solution

An integrated production floor orchestration system. Atumind's solution consists of implementing the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), supplemented with the Warehouse Management System (WMS). This system provides essential functions such as receiving goods, detecting crates with OCR technology, and an automated storage system for both wooden and plastic boxes. In addition, Atumind's solution includes generating lot numbers and activating print actions via SCADA systems from the forklift application. The system enforces compliance with strict health regulations when processing organic and regulated products.

Improved quality control and workflow efficiency

The integration of control scales and X-ray inspection into Atumind's solution will lead to improved quality control. In addition, the implementation of a specialized warehouse for finished products will make the forwarding process more efficient, which will contribute to an optimization of the overall workflow.

Conclusion

Atuminds role in process improvement and quality improvement. This project illustrates how Atumind successfully overcomes complex challenges and delivers innovative solutions that not only meet the immediate needs of The Little Potato Company, but also enable new opportunities for process improvement and quality enhancement. This positions Atumind as a valuable partner in the continued growth and success of The Little Potato Company.
