For innovative packing companies looking for a comprehensive tool to monitor packing efficiency and improve process management.
The system is suitable for manual packing of products such as soft fruits (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries), vine tomatoes, mushrooms, fish, meat, salads, ready meals, and other food items.
Libra's implementation results depend on various factors, including current packing efficiency and weighing accuracy. Customer examples show that investing in Libra is worthwhile with at least six manual packers working year-round, offering an ROI within 12 months. Other ROI scenarios can be discussed with our consultant.

Our Customer's Story

Ingleby Farms Libra
Campo d’oro is a Romanian farm owned by Ingleby Farms. Blueberries have been cultivated there since 2010, with a plantation covering about 200 hectares, making it one of the largest in the country.
The customer needed a solution to optimize manual blueberry packing. At Campo d’oro, blueberries are manually packed into containers ranging from 125g to 3kg, requiring a large team and a monitoring system due to high volumes. Weighing accuracy is crucial, as overweight packaging can generate losses of tens of thousands of euros.
We designed a solution with 40 manual weighing stations integrated with Libra software. The scales are equipped with light signals indicating overweight or underweight packaging, significantly simplifying work. Additionally, Libra enables monitoring of individual team members’ efficiency and provides managers with feedback on work quality.
With data collected by Libra, production managers can better allocate resources, support slower workers, or find more efficient employees. Implementing the software allowed Campo d’oro to pack over 1,000 tons of blueberries in 2024, increasing efficiency and weighing accuracy to 95%. The packing time for a single truck was reduced from 8 to 3 hours. The customer appreciated the system's intuitiveness and the ease of cleaning the scales, essential for such high production volumes.

Libra system components

 

Libra is a flexible solution, and its scope and functionality can be customized to meet the specific needs of a manual packing line. For example, Libra can include the following elements:

1

Server and database
