Fresh Produce

Supporting growers, packers, and shippers with automation solutions designed to maximize productivity while maintaining product quality and operational flexibility.

Fresh Produce

Designed For Performance

With decades of experience serving fresh produce packers and growers, we understand the unique challenges of handling delicate products while maintaining high production rates and product quality.

From fresh fruits and vegetables to citrus, leafy greens, berries, and packaged produce, every operation requires automation that is reliable, flexible, and built for demanding environments. Our experience designing integrated end-of-line systems helps increase throughput, reduce manual labor, improve product flow, and provide scalable solutions that support seasonal demand, changing product varieties, and future facility growth.

Complete End-of-Line for the Packinghouse

Fresh produce operations don't run with the same schedule flexibility as industrial manufacturing. Seasonal peaks compress production into narrow windows, and every hour of downtime during harvest has a direct impact on product quality and revenue. A piecemeal end-of-line with multiple vendors and accountability gaps is a liability during the peak season — not just an inconvenience.

ESC designs and integrates complete turnkey end-of-line systems for fresh produce packinghouses — multiple palletizing cells, pallet conveyor networks, pallet handling, and full safety guarding integrated under one project team. Our produce-specific systems are built for the sanitation requirements, product handling sensitivities, and seasonal throughput demands that standard industrial systems aren't designed to address.

Fresh Products

Gentle Handling. Zero Bruising.

In fresh produce, product damage during packaging is product loss. Bruising, impact marks, and mishandled fruit that reaches a retail buyer as a rejected load represents a cost that compounds fast during peak season. Automated boxing systems that aren't designed specifically for produce — with the right end-effector tooling, placement speed, and carton positioning — cause the same damage they're supposed to prevent.

ESC integrates automated fruit and vegetable boxing systems engineered for gentle, controlled product placement — matching drop height, placement angle, and handling speed to the specific product being packed. From melons and citrus to stone fruit and peppers, our systems place produce into retail cartons without the impact damage that shortens shelf life and generates retailer claims.
