Optibatch software is an application that attempts to iron out the issue of filling boxes with a product, up to a given weight with specified weight range of the items in real time (Online bin packing problem).
The application runs on Windows and saves its data in an SQL database, enabling in this way to extract reports.
From the outcome of the grading it is possible to communicate with other systems related to production such as ERP. It supports three different ways of grading (by weight, by item and simple grading without bins). It includes an extra buffer and the capability of switching or altering grading programs during harvest.

*UPDATE – 15/10/2020*:

The Optibatch software, which is installed in “Thema Automation“ graders was upgraded integrating the new “Versafill” intelligent algorithm resulting in:

• Up to 4 times less yearly production overweight.
• Improved product distribution among the ports during harvesting.

The transition to the new algorithm significantly increases the graders’ efficiency, directly increasing the revenue of the company’s clients in the following ways:

• Reduction in man-hours needed to modify overweight batches.
• Additional product sold at zero cost.

The new algorithm will be pre-installed in graders to be distributed after 1/1/2021, while there will be an option to upgrade pre-existing ones.
