Our first Case Study from Italy takes us to Ortofrutticola Trinità, where collaboration between INDUSER and ICOEL has made it possible to develop an automated tomato weighing and packaging solution, combining technologies from both companies and integrating them with equipment already operating at the customer's facility.

This project also highlights the value of our commercial partnership with ICOEL, a partner with whom we share knowledge, experience and a common vision: delivering technological solutions that address the real challenges of the fresh produce industry.

A flexible weighing and packaging line designed around the product

The solution developed for Ortofrutticcola Trinità is designed to handle different cardboard packaging formats, including boxes, offering the flexibility needed to adapt to different production and presentation requirements for tomatoes.

At the heart of the process is our PL1415B weigher, which delivers accurate weighing for every pack and helps optimise the amount of product dispensed, reducing giveaway and making better use of raw materials.

However, the solution goes beyond simply installing a weighing machine. One of the project's key features has been its integration with the customer's existing equipment, including machinery developed by ICOEL. Both technologies work together to automate the process, making the most of the available equipment and creating a solution that fits seamlessly into the customer's operations.

Industrial design: every project starts with a different set of needs

At INDUSER, we understand that no two projects are the same. Our expertise lies in automating weighing and packaging processes, but achieving the right solution starts long before a machine is manufactured.

Every installation involves a process of industrial design and engineering in which we analyse the product, packaging formats, available equipment, operating conditions and, above all, each customer's production requirements and growth objectives.

That is why our lines are designed and configured to meet specific needs. It is not simply about adding machinery, but about finding the right combination of technologies to ensure the entire process works efficiently.

The Ortofrutticola Trinità project reflects this philosophy: integrating, adapting and automating by making the most of both INDUSER technology and our partner ICOEL's experience and solutions.

Technology that optimises resources and creates value for people

Automation is not about eliminating human involvement; it is about making better use of it.

In an automated weighing and packaging line, repetitive tasks and product handling can be managed by machines, while people continue to play a key role in process supervision, quality control and the proper operation of the installation.

The result is better resource allocation, more efficient processes and greater capacity to meet production requirements.

This project in Italy is another example of what can be achieved when technology, product knowledge and collaboration between companies come together around a shared goal.

Thank you to ICOEL and Ortofrutticola Trinità for their trust and for allowing us to share this project. We look forward to continuing our work together and taking fresh produce weighing and packaging automation a step further.
