William Saurin: management of recipes for ready meals

‘The COOX Origin solution has made it possible to transfer some thirty years of operators’ expertise in manufacturing execution to the management information system.’

Founded in 1898, William Saurin specialises in the manufacture of ready meals. It bears the name of its founder, a grocer who specialised in making ready meals sold in tins. The company is best known for its cassoulet, choucroute and quenelles, but today it also produces ready-made meals that can be heated directly in the microwave.

Combining manual and automated steps, collecting all production data (alarms, events, etc.), ensuring traceability and production quality in the form of a real-time production report with direct access…: these are just some of the many requirements dictated by the highly specific specifications for a sauce production line.
