Case Study: California Family Foods expands facility-wide control and analytics with Ignition by Inductive Automation

California Family Foods - Customer Case Study

California Family Foods, a leading rice mill and storage facility in Arbuckle, California, needed a comprehensive software platform to run processes across multiple departments while collecting and analyzing production data. The company turned to Inductive Automation’s Ignition industrial application platform to support its receiving, mill operations, and packaging workflows.

Inductive Automation helped California Family Foods implement Ignition through system integrator Industrial Automation Group, giving the company better data access, mobility, reporting, food safety controls, and business analytics. The solution streamlined truck receiving with barcode validation, reduced human error, centralized reporting, and enabled tablet-based plant control across three floors. California Family Foods now handles more than 200 million pounds of paddy rice each season with a more connected and scalable automation strategy, and plans to expand Ignition further.
