Peach processing demands precision timing. Unlike crops with flexible harvest windows, peaches move from perfectly ripe to overripe in days. That compressed timeline creates unique operational challenges for processors managing canned peaches, peach purée, peach concentrate, peach dices, or peach juice production.
Your peach processing plant needs visibility into what's coming from the orchard, when it's arriving, and what condition it's in. Without that visibility, you're reacting to whatever shows up at your dock rather than orchestrating a coordinated peach processing line.
Gain access to real-time data and up-to-date reporting for a complete picture of your peach supply chain anytime, anywhere. Operate at peak performance while meeting consumer demand for quality and traceability.
Real-time tracking notifies you of incoming stone fruit loads while recording peach quality parameters. With built-in food safety, compliance, grading, and traceability options, you maintain complete transparency from fresh peaches to finished products.
What visibility delivers for peach processors:
Integrating ExtendAg with your ERP delivers full transparency from the field to your final peach products. Confidently ensure robust controls are in place to minimize recalls, extend shelf life, and safeguard your brand reputation.
We understand that every peach processing business has unique challenges. The varieties you process, the growers you work with, and the products you produce all shape your operational requirements. That's why ExtendAg is flexible and customizable for companies producing everything from canned peaches to peach concentrate.
Peach-specific coordination capabilities:
When multiple growers are ready to harvest simultaneously, coordination determines whether your facility runs smoothly or your receiving dock becomes a bottleneck.
Peach quality varies load to load based on variety, growing conditions, harvest timing, and handling. Your grading systems need to capture that variation accurately so the right peaches go to the right processing lines.
Quality parameters that matter for peach processing:
ExtendAg’s automated grading systems assess peach quality faster than manual inspection with objective, consistent results. Quality data flows seamlessly from grading systems directly into inventory allocation and production decisions.
How quality data improves peach operations:
| Quality Factor | Why it Matters |
|---|---|
| Brix levels | Determines sweetness, affects product formulation |
| Ripeness | Impacts texture, processing characteristics |
| Size and color | Affects sorting decisions, product routing |
| Defects | Bruising, pit damage, overripeness affect yield |
Transform your peach processing operations with advanced automation that delivers speed, accuracy, and consistency. During peak stone fruit season, your receiving dock handles high volumes in compressed timeframes. Manual processes create bottlenecks that ripple through your entire operation.
Automation capabilities for peach processors:
ExtendAg’s Load Sequencer automatically assigns the right loads to the right peach processing lines based on your specified criteria. Whether you’re producing peach juice, canned peaches, or specialty peach products, automation ensures consistent routing without manual intervention.
What automation delivers:
| Process | Manual Approach | Automated Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Quality assessment | Slow, subjective, variable | Fast, objective, consistent |
| Load routing | Paper-based decisions | Automatic based on criteria |
| Data capture | Manual entry, error-prone | Automatic, accurate |
| Payment calculations | Hours of reconciliation | Minutes with full accuracy |
When grower payment calculations pull from disconnected systems, settlement can become a season-long headache.
ExtendAg automates grower payments by applying quality deductions and contract terms with complete accuracy. Quality data from grading flows directly into payment calculations, eliminating manual reconciliation.
Payment capabilities for peach processors:
When peach growers trust your payment accuracy, relationships strengthen. Transparent, timely settlements build the loyalty that ensures reliable supply season after season.
ExtendAg integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP and business systems. Peach processing data flows where it needs to go without manual handoffs or duplicate entry.
