The equipment need
A potato producer, subject to stringent certification standards, had to automate a critical sorting step to ensure that its lots were in compliance.
The shortage of skilled labour undermined the ability to maintain volumes and secure quality, making it essential to invest in an optical sorter.

- Seed sorting line
The support described in the project
We have structured a leasing adapted to a material with high residual value, aligning the start of the contract with the start-up of the equipment.
The reported operational outcome
The business automated its sorting, secured its compliance and reduced its dependence on labour while maintaining its liquidity.
