APPROACH

This project consisted of multiple Cardinal 825 indicators with custom filling software, these control the flow and packaging of the customer's market-leading frozen food produce. We also supplied upgraded VWSLT lift top platform scales which allow a full wash-down. The customer has since taken advantage of the future-proof nature of the 825 indicators and AWM's custom software by easily adding even more key features to their weighing software. The current modifications include adding in automated delays to the filling triggers and fitting light beacons that are triggered at specific points in the filling process to provide the operator with a visual display of the fill status.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

"Your platforms have now been fitted and look great. The beacons have been installed and look really bright. The customer told me "If they can't see those, they want shooting" I presume this means that they are happy with them! Thanks for your help, I had visions of a mad rush before the harvest started, but it looks like everything will be finished with plenty of time to spare"
