THE CHALLENGE

Paper-based work instructions hinder collaboration and do not capture the complexities of various standard operating procedures. Conagra Brands wanted to improve operations at its plants by using a digital, mobile-first approach for its frontline employees to execute work, seek real-time help, access information quickly and collect actionable and accurate data.

The ACCENTURE + PARSABLE SOLUTION

As part of the Connected Shop Floor initiative, Parsable is the Connected Worker for Operations solution at Conagra Brands’ brand-new, $300-million production facility in Waseca, Minn., with four more sites planned.

Parsable is being used to perform CIL and centerline processes in many areas of the factory, including:

Quality

Enzyme testing
Air cleaning
Size grader

Production

Machine inspections
Clean in place
Vision system

Receiving

Truck/hopper inspections
Conveyor inspections
Sorter/scalper inspections

Shipping

Tote filling
Tote sealing
Tote X-ray

“Before, you would have to leave the floor, go to the shop, log in, etc. With this, if you have it on you, by the time it would have taken you to walk there, you’d already have it done.”

– Corbin P., Maintenance Lead
