How can you produce smarter while caring for people and products?
At Kari’s Crackers, it’s about more than just a good organic product. In Heino, this social enterprise offers people on their way to a regular job a valuable workplace. Small scale, variety, fun, and togetherness are central to this.
The popularity of Kari’s Crunch presented a challenge: how do you meet growing demand without compromising on people or product? The old method of breaking, using a mangle, caused a lot of grit, irregular pieces, and noise pollution. Not ideal for the workplace.
That’s where we at #TRICAS came in. Together with Tembo, we developed a solution that adds value on multiple levels.
- Controlled breaking: consistent pieces, minimal waste, better presentation.
- People-oriented design: safe, intuitive, and quieter, making work more enjoyable and accessible.
- Job satisfaction and ownership: the process enables employees to take responsibility for part of the process. This increases their pride in the end result and enhances their job satisfaction.
- Optimized machine: scalable, food-safe, and future-proof.
The result: Kari’s Crackers can grow, customers enjoy a great product, and employees work in a pleasant, safe environment. That is exactly what energizes us at TRICAS: innovation that is not only technically smart, but also adds value for people and society.
