Case Study: a major fresh salad operator increases yield and reduces wastage with OAL Connected automation

a major fresh salad operator cuts yield losses and boosts output with OAL

OAL helped one of the UK's largest fresh salad operators address a challenge of improving line efficiency and flexibility while reducing wastage. The customer was investing in new processing lines and required an update to its existing automation to meet consumer demand for a vast product selection.

The solution implemented by OAL included installing connected preparation stations with individual load cells and touchscreens, alongside a virtualized SCADA system for supervisory control. This provided operators and management with real-time visibility into productivity and yield. As a result, OAL enabled the customer to achieve a reduction in yield losses, an increase in production from reduced downtime, and improved overall productivity and quality.
