Food & Grocery — National Grocery Chain
A national grocery chain was experiencing a 2.3% damage rate on fresh produce during sorting operations. Manual handling caused bruising and spoilage, slow sorting created bottlenecks in cold chain logistics, and temperature control issues threatened food safety compliance. The operation needed a gentle automated solution that could maintain product integrity while increasing throughput.
MGM deployed a Tilt Tray Sorter with food-grade belts, temperature-controlled sorting zones, and gentle handling mechanisms. The system included washdown-capable surfaces for hygiene compliance, integrated temperature monitoring, and FIFO/FEFO sorting logic for expiration date management. The entire system was designed to operate in cold chain environments at 2-8°C.
Tilt tray mechanism with controlled acceleration/deceleration eliminated product damage during sorting.
Temperature-controlled zones maintained product freshness throughout the sorting process.
Washdown-capable surfaces and food-grade materials met all regulatory requirements.
Full batch tracking from receipt to dispatch enabled complete cold chain documentation.
