Company Name: United Farmers Cooperative
Location: Farragut, Iowa
Upgrade: Expanded loadout facility with automated chemical system and mass flow metering
“We can load two trucks at the same time… everything works simultaneously and seamlessly and very fast.”
— Larry Schniepp, Location Manager, United Farmers Cooperative
As demand increased, United Farmers Cooperative needed to expand its loadout capabilities and improve efficiency at its Farragut location.
The previous facility was limited to a single loadout bay, restricting throughput and creating inefficiencies during busy periods. In addition, the team sought improved accuracy and better visibility into inventory and product movement.
To support growth and streamline operations, UFC needed a solution that could increase capacity while improving accuracy and system usability.
United Farmers Cooperative implemented Kahler Automation to modernize its facility and improve overall system performance.
The integration of Kahler software with advanced metering technology provided a solution that could handle simultaneous operations while maintaining accuracy and ease of use.
With the upgraded facility and Kahler Automation system in place, United Farmers Cooperative has significantly improved both capacity and efficiency.
The addition of a second loadout bay allows the team to load two trucks at the same time, effectively doubling throughput compared to the previous setup.
The system’s mass flow meters operate simultaneously and seamlessly, delivering fast and highly accurate chemical loading. This has improved both blending precision and inventory tracking, giving the team greater confidence in day-to-day operations.
Order processing has also become more efficient, with a smoother workflow and a system that is easier for operators to use.
Kahler Automation has helped United Farmers Cooperative create a more efficient and accurate operation.
With improved loadout capacity, seamless inventory management, and user-friendly software, the facility is better equipped to handle demand while maintaining precise control over product movement.
