Laser Scanning
A South Texas based salt processing plant
asked Cross Industry Link in early 2019 to assist them in upgrading their fifty year old plant. Like many facilities, there had been many field modifications made over the years and the company didn't have any accurate drawings of the facilities, piping, and equipment they now had in place. Cross Industry Link was able to quote and execute the site scan within two weeks and provide the client with the point cloud-based 3D AutoCAD drawing. The client was then able to accurately plan for the integration of new conveying, storage and processing equipment.
Going Commercial Scale with Chip Production
The tortilla chip industry has had 4.4% growth from 2019 to 2025. A producer in Colorado decided that they needed to add a new seasoning system to their production line to increase the range of flavors offered, but were concerned about the limited space they had for the investment. We were called out by the equipment supplier to scan the facility and ensure the equipment layout would work for the customer. After only 10 days from the initial customer call the team was able to find a layout that would not require any facility modifications and achieve the equipment improvements they were looking for. The customer was exceedingly happy with the reduction in seasoning that we were able to accomplish in the small space he had available. This was only achievable by using the electrostatic seasoning system.
Updating Production Lines
We recently installed a complete system for a pita chip production line at a snack manufacturer in Massachusetts. Right away, they saw reduced waste for both seasoning and oil, and the new setup also took up less space on their production floor.
Adding Second Truck Loadout
Limestone truck loadout scope of work
Cross Industry Link was called out to Oklahoma and help a customer evaluate adding a second truck loadout station and evaluate the equipment options for a retrofit. After completing the laser scan and modeling the customer was able to identify a very cost effective means to add the necessary conveying equipment and purchase a modern loss and weight system.
