In many cases customer focus and cost savings don’t complement each other. WPS makes it possible at Van Winden. By using a smart sorting system from WPS, Van Winden can achieve better results, better quality with less labor. Making customers happier while increasing profits.
By the end of this year Sjaak van Schie will sort and process their hydrangea and tropical plant orders with help of a new WPS system. This WPS system will have a WPS Plant vision module and to sort the plants by: variety, size and color. After sorting, the plants will be assigned and transported via a conveyor system to the individual order fulfillment stations, which are part of the total system.
During these processes all gathered data will be stored. This will enable Sjaak van Schie to evaluate their production and quality. Helping them to maintain a very high quality standard for their plant selections.
The system will give Sjaak van Schie more flexibility and overview of their delivery process. But also help them reduce labor.
