Len Wright Salads has invested in a factory which will harness revolutionary digital technology to improve productivity and reduce waste.
The Tarleton firm will have access to tools such as data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), 3D-printing and robotics after joining Made Smarter.
The £20m government-backed programme launched late last year aiming to help businesses improve productivity and revenues, increase export sales, create jobs, provide new skills to workforces, integrate with supply chains and reduce environmental impact.
Colin Charlesworth, finance director of Len Wright Salads, said: "Our business has embarked on an ambitious transformation strategy to secure its future which includes the investment in a new prepared salad factory, one of the most advanced in Europe.
