Marco are using the upcoming Fruit Logistica show in Berlin to demonstrate their extensive capabilities in Packhouse Solutions. Already tried and tested by dozens of leading UK and European fruit packing companies, their TRAC-IT MES Packhouse System provides comprehensive packaging and traceability technology for all types of soft and stoned fruits.

The TRAC-IT MES solution for fruit has a proven and rapid return on investment, significantly improving productivity whilst reducing giveaway to almost zero. The system is a unique blend of software and hardware modules, including conveyors, portion control scales, high speed labellers, metal detectors, packing tables and barcode scanners. At its heart are LineMaster portion control scales, designed for rapid and accurate manual assembly and weighing of packs. The Automatic Optimisation software, developed by Marco specifically for this application, continually adjusts target weights based on real time pack weight trends and operator performance. This subtle process is invisible to the operators, but dramatically reduces giveaway, whilst ensuring compliance with the Packers' Code for 'e' weighing.

Full traceability from goods-in to despatch is a standard part of any Marco Packhouse System. The Line Verification Module ensures correct labelling throughout the process, conveniently controlled from a central location. This removes the problems associated with emergency product withdrawals and facilitates rapid line changes and set up. Marco take full responsibility for the complete installation of any Packhouse Solution thereby ensuring complete system optimisation.
