Tuxedo Corn Connects Field Packing with Cooler Operations

Harvest Pack began supporting Tuxedo Corn's field-packed sweet-corn operation in 2016. GTIN labels were printed on four harvesters as the operation produced more than 700,000 corn cartons during an approximately six-week harvest period. Later Harvest Point work connected those field records with cooler receiving, pallet inventory, sales, and shipping.

The figures below document operating scale. They do not establish savings, performance improvements, or what Tuxedo Corn used before Harvest Pack.

The historical archive contains two six-week records. They describe different years and different parts of the customer workflow, so they should not be combined into one result.

2016 · Harvest Pack

Field packing and GTIN labels

Four harvesters supported production and labeling of more than 700,000 corn cartons in about six weeks.

Sales, packing, and shipping

A later record describes about 1,100 sales orders and more than 800,000 cartons handled during a six-week period.

The field-pack challenge

Unlike a shed-pack operation, Tuxedo Corn creates finished cases while harvesting. Product identity has to begin on the harvester and remain useful when the load reaches the cooler. That makes field labeling, dispatch, receiving, and pallet creation parts of the same process rather than separate records assembled later.

Labels begin the product record in the field

As corn is packed on the harvester, Harvest Point supports printing labels for the finished cases. The configured label can carry product and lot information needed to identify the packed product as it moves downstream.

The load continues into cooler inventory

Harvest Point carries the field-packed load into receiving at the cooler. The received product can be organized into pallet inventory and given pallet tags, keeping the cooler record connected to the product packed in the field.

Sales and shipping use the same operational flow

Once the product is received, Tuxedo Corn can continue using Harvest Point for sales and shipping. The workflow connects harvest and packing activity with the finished inventory used to fulfill outbound orders.
