COMPAC & TOMRA together for the first time at Hort Connections 2017
CD
Compac and TOMRA will be exhibiting at Hort Connections 2017, 15 - 17 May, at the Adelaide Convention Centre. This show is exciting as it’s the first of two great things - it’s the first time PMA and AUSVEG have united to deliver a joint industry conference and trade show, where all the sections of the fresh produce supply chain gather for the event.
It is also the first time Compac and Tomra have shared a booth in Australia. Compac & Tomra are at booth 212. Local representatives from both companies as well as key members of Compac’s leadership team, including Neil Templeman who has recently taken up the role of General Manager for Australia and New Zealand. This is a great opportunity to meet Neil and talk with our leadership team on what the TOMRA acquisition means for our industry.
Spectrim was launched and quickly established as a powerful grading platform. In terms of ensuring high quality packs to the end consumer at a lower cost-per-pack for the packhouse, as all sorting labour was successfully removed. This was evident by the recent words of Harry Debney, CEO of Australian horticulture giant, Costa Group “This is a real game changer, it eliminates all of the labour [to sort fruit], and has given us 50 per cent throughput improvement.”
Neil Templeman points out :
« Inspectra had a massive impact on the New Zealand kiwifruit 2016 season as it was a low dry matter year due to low sunlight hours. Dry matter is a key indicator for taste and therefore is a key metric. Due to the low dry matter, a lot of kiwifruit would have been dumped as the only other way to check the dry matter was to cut the fruit. Inspectra successfully pulled out all the good fruit and guaranteed the eating experience of the kiwifruit that made it into the box. One of our customers, Hume Pack-N-Nool, recovered over 120,000 trays back into inventory, fruit that was originally considered un-packable.”
Compac & Tomra team will be glad to hear about some of the challenges professionals might be having in their packhouse and talk about potential technology solutions.
