High Expectations, Demanding Operations

You’re expected to maximize output, minimize downtime, and run lean — while optimizing yield, product consistency, and quality to stay competitive.

 

Sorting: A Critical Step

Optimizing sorting and grading unlocks the full potential of your raw materials:

  • Sorting identifies the best input blend to meet specific product specs (e.g. fry length, colour).

  • Grading determines if potatoes are suitable for French fries or better used for flakes or granules.

Ensuring the right potatoes go to the right line means reducing waste and boosting yield and quality.

Process technologist

“With HAI, we now detect process issues in real time. When slivers increased, the system instantly linked it to a drop in dry matter. Operators adjusted settings immediately—avoiding off-spec fries and improving yield. Before HAI, we’d catch this too late. Now, we act fast and stay on target.”

I need reliable plant performance reports, which give me a clear understanding of what happens in production. We used to make decisions largely based on experience and intuition. The real-time HAI dashboards and reports help us to make more data-driven decisions.

Data-Driven Process Control

  • Full visibility – from raw potato quality to end-product performance.

  • Real-time monitoring – track yield, energy, oil use, and batch cost.

  • Consistent quality – ensure output meets specs every time.

  • Total traceability – link every batch to its source and process history.

  • Smarter sustainability – reduce waste, energy & water consumption, and  resource use.

HAI: From Data to Decisions

HAI brings clarity to complexity. The software collects and analyzes all critical process and quality data, delivering:

  • Real-time dashboards, trends, and early warnings for operators

  • AI-powered insights, reports, and deep analytics for production and quality teams

  • Faster, more consistent batch release

  • Continuous improvement through troubleshooting and optimization

With HAI, you gain full control of your process—turning data into action and performance into profit.

   What you’ll have

Automatic Data Collection
Centralize all production and quality data in one real-time operational datastore. HAI integrates seamlessly with PLC/SCADA, Historians, ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Infor, Microsoft, Oracle), LIMS, and in-line inspection equipment such as weighing scales, vision systems, metal detectors etc.

Manual Data Entry – Paperless Plant

  • Operator quality control checks
  • Start-up and cleaning checklists
  • QA inspections & Product Quality tests (e.g., organoleptic tests, visual inspections)
  • Replace Excel-based lab and production logs with intuitive data-entry screens directly in the HAI Platform.

Visualization – Logsheets & Dashboards

  • Interactive real-time logsheets combining production-, lab-, equipment-, and operator-data
  • Compliance dashboards for process parameters, energy/water consumption, and quality standards
  • Real-time trending, SPC, and correlation tools for early warnings and root-cause analysis
  • Real-time KPIs (e.g., OEE, First Time Right), yield, mass balance, runtimes, downtime, cost per batch
  • Predictive analytics on end-product quality
  • Comprehensive tracking & tracing, exception reporting, and cost validation tools

   Intuitive, yet powerful

  • Fast implementation – up and running quickly across lines and sites.
  • Easy to manage – intuitive interface, no complex IT skills required.
  • User-driven – after brief training, users can fully operate and adapt the system on their own.
  • Custom dashboards – build logsheets and views tailored to any role or workstation.
  • Context-rich insights – data from multiple sources is linked to real production conditions, making insights instantly meaningful and actionable.
