Operational control and vehicle logistics platform for an agroindustrial plant

Agroindustrial company with high-volume extraction and processing operations

Digitized vehicle access control, weighbridge and quality — with SAP integration and OCR license plate recognition

The challenge

The plant operated with manual controls at every point in its logistics chain: vehicle entry, weighbridge weight capture, incoming raw material quality recording and finished product dispatch. Data did not reach the ERP reliably and data entry errors in high-volume operations generated discrepancies between plant records and accounting. The operation needed comprehensive digitization without depending on permanent connectivity at all points.

The solution

We developed a modular platform that covers the complete vehicle operation cycle: QR code generation and validation for access control; weight capture from digital weighbridge (tare, gross, net); structured quality forms with operation-specific parameters (fruit, finished product, inventory); dispatch document generation in PDF with digital signatures; and automatic vehicle license plate recognition via OCR with manual correction option. All modules transmit to SAP/ERP upon closure of each operation. A .NET CLI tool was included for batch operations and distributed administration.

Results

Digitized vehicle access control with QR at plant entry and exit points
Automatic weight capture from weighbridge with elimination of manual entry
Structured quality recording with standardized parameters by operation type
Automatic dispatch document generation with digital signatures
SAP/ERP integration with transmission at closure of each operation
License plate recognition via OCR with reduced vehicle identification errors

High-volume agroindustrial processing plants have a characteristic that makes them particularly demanding for digitization projects: operations do not stop for the system to work — the system has to work while operations do not stop.

This means designing for intermittent connectivity scenarios at weighbridge and gatehouse points, for operators with basic technical training who cannot afford to lose time on complex interfaces, and for ERP integrations that must be reliable even when the plant network is not always. The offline-first design for field forms and local QR validation before synchronizing with the central server were architecture decisions that arose directly from understanding the operational context, not from technology preferences.

The SAP integration was the point of greatest technical complexity: mapping plant operational data — with its own vocabulary and specific operation types — to the ERP’s inventory movement and order structures required analysis work with the client’s operations and IT teams that preceded development by several weeks.
