Grantek’s complete Smart Bakery Solutions can provide:
- Smart Mixing – Grantek’s Smart Mixing Solution can measure parameters on each dough batch, and compare to other batches.

By correcting issues earlier in the process, waste is reduced and ingredient losses and the costs associated with these errors are mitigated.

- Smart Packaging – From the plant floor to the boardroom, Grantek provides a complete solution for Label Verification. As a CSIA certified control system integrator, Grantek knows that automated product validation is critical to regulatory compliance and quality control. Real-time live images, stored missed images, and an intuitive user interface provide maintenance and operators with all the information needed for seamless integration into any existing production line, or as part of a new installation. Our solution is in alignment with American & Canadian regulations, helping you mitigate the Food Safety risk with undeclared allergens.
- Smart Warehousing – Grantek’s extensive experience as a systems integrator in the food and beverage manufacturing industry provides our clients with a unique edge in the development and upgrading of Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) commonly used in warehouses. Grantek’s Smart Manufacturing Practice has developed a simple, open-source solution for controlling the ASRS equipment and interfacing it to the facility’s SAP or another enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Customers with older ASRS systems will benefit from engaging Grantek to design and perform an upgrade.
