Innova software is up and running at the first Sanford site in New Zealand, helping the fish processing leader increase the flexibility and efficiency of its business.

Sanford chose Innova to provide its manufacturing execution system and production management software in June 2021. The first factory equipped with Innova has been successfully operating since August.

“We are thrilled to be a part of Sanford’s journey to transform the way fish is processed by digitalising their processes,” said Bjarni Sigurdur Bergsson, international sales manager – Innova.

“We are confident that Innova will help them maintain their competitive edge and increase their adaptability to respond to evolving consumer demand.”

The software supply contract covers all main pillars of Sanford’s business – whitefish, salmon and shellfish processing, as well as onboard solutions for factory trawlers, long-liners and inshore scampi vessels.

Innova will help Sanford control, monitor and improve operations by managing the entire process from receiving raw material to dispatching finished goods. It will also ensure traceability, maximise yield and reduce giveaway to minimise food waste and increase sustainability.

 A Marel product, Innova software solutions are currently installed at more than 2,200 production sites worldwide.
