How Poka customer Upfield commissioned a new paperless site

Renowned for its wide array of plant-based food offerings, Upfield operates 14 state-of -the-art production facilities worldwide with a dedicated workforce of 4,900 individuals.

A mature Poka user, the company made the strategic decision in 2022 to leverage the relocation of its Rexdale plant to Bradford to pursue their paperless vision and develop a culture of continuous improvement at the new facility.

The commissioning of their facility, with four production lines for plant-based spreads and a primary line with sublines for vegan cheese facility, represented a challenge for the organization. In less than a year, frontline workers flagged over 500 operational issues in Poka, contributing to the plant’s continuous improvement initiative.
