When you think of designing and manufacturing handling and storage solutions for potatoes and other pulses, who comes to mind?
Our partner Downs, of course!
A quick reminder of our Mov’ntec mission? To support their growth and provide our expertise to increase the capacity and production flow of their wonderful potato detection machine: the CropVision! All as part of a continuous improvement approach to guarantee best practice.
We’re here to give their operations a boost! 🥔
🔧 Key stages in our collaboration:
Initial preparation: for several weeks, we’ve been working upstream to structure the bills of materials and launch parts procurement. A rewarding collaboration, as several components are manufactured by DOWNS, influencing logistics.
Receiving parts: we receive parts either directly from DOWNS or from our suppliers. We organise our production accordingly.
Treatment and preparation: parts are carefully cleaned, degreased and painted according to customer requirements (primer and colour).
Optimised assembly: our teams assemble the components and are constantly looking for ways to optimise performance through appropriate workstations (ergonomics, tooling).
A few figures: The CropVision measures 3m x 2.4m x 2.4m and weighs almost 3 tonnes.
Thank you to the DOWNS team for their confidence!
