Automation goals:

The reasons behind automating the proceses:

  • I want to improve product quality and uniformity
  • I want to increase capacity
  • I want to increase productivity

Further explanation:

Primary drivers are to reliably meet tender volumes (45,000 pots/week; minimum 9,500/day on a single 8-hour shift) and to improve portioning consistency / product uniformity for hummus products. Staffing reduction is not the main objective; current plan is 3–4 operators to run the line area.

Timeframe:

Expected timeframe for the solution to be installed:

Timeframe to install solution:

I need the automation solution to be installed: Within half a year

Further explanation:

Prefer one flexible line if practical, but open to separate stations/machines for chilled vs ambient if it improves reliability or lead time.
