Case Study: High Tek and INAOF

Benefits of Working with High Tek USA: https://hightekusa.com/pmmi-high-tek-inaof-case-study/ From INAOF's perspective, the entire experience working with High Tek has been outstanding. Among the benefits are: Reduction in product waste. Improvement in the reliability and consistency of the entire system. This includes making primary bags, taking them down the line, and putting bags into cases, cases on pallets, and pallets in cold storage. The entire process works better. Headcount reduction of at least a few people. Dramatic simplification in the operational interface. The new interface is intuitive, simple, and easy to learn. This is a big deal in getting new employees up to speed quickly. An unexpected benefit has been the improvement in morale in the facility. Prior to implementing the High Tek scale, there was a constant feeling of dread in the packaging room environment. Lessons Learned In reflecting on this entire experience, Jermunson said that companies experiencing issues with their scale need to take a thorough assessment of its condition, because all equipment wears out at some point. While Ishida scales are good, repairing them can be expensive. For food manufacturers wrestling with whether to repair or replace their Ishida scale, Jermunson suggested considering High Tek, because High Tek has such a great value proposition that combines equipment, interface, and service. He said High Tek has similar performance to Ishida, with a great operational interface and tremendous service. Jermunson also said he was initially somewhat skeptical about High Tek's ability to deliver, but as Sigman had promised, INAOF just turned on the High Tek machine, and it worked, consistently and seamlessly.
