Q: What was needed for this project?

"With the amount of acres that we try to cover every year, getting back to our sprayer operators at a quicker time. We realized that we needed to have an improvement (so we wouldn’t have) our sprayer operators sit for hours at a time."

Q: How does Kahler Automation help you achieve your goals?

"It helps us get the chemicals out to the customers and to our operators quicker."

Q: How has productivity improved?

"Last year, mixing loads for our sprayers, one truck could take us anywhere between 45 to 50 minutes. Now it's taking us 15 minutes to load and we can load multiple trucks at one time where four trucks would take us half a day. It's now taking us 20 minutes in total."

Q: How has accuracy with inventory improved?

"With our new container fill system that we have with Kahler, it helps us to see exactly what is in each container through our MicroMotion sensors and it prints us out a label that we can put right on the containers and it helps us take a better accurate inventory."
