Global Harvest

Global Harvest

Hiring and keeping employees that were required to handle and stack heavy bags and boxes, day in and day out, was a challenge for GHF.  Automating this process was challenging due to the high-production rates and unique package sizes.  In addition, some products had to be loaded into totes, which made it difficult to use typical end-of-arm tools in this confined space.

The Challenge

High production rates, wide variety of products, unique requirements, and difficult conditions.

The Challenge

Our Solution

Develop custom tooling to handle the wide variety of product types and automate the tote & pallet handling process, all within a confined workspace.

We created a custom system that worked around the site’s existing equipment and infrastructure, meaning that infeed and outfeed conveyors integrated seamlessly into the operation.

What it means for Global Harvest now

Better, safer staff working conditions and a system that fits the specific needs of their sites.

 

After the first successful installation, we were thrilled to partner on further projects across several site locations. With each project, we’ve gotten to understand the nuances of their business and their operation, each time carving out more opportunities for efficiency and performance.
