Enterprise Ignition System Transforms Operations For One Of Australia's Largest Fruit Producers

In the highly competitive agricultural sector, innovation, real-time visibility, and operational efficiency are no longer optional — they are essential for survival. Vide Ultra, supporting various Australian fruit companies, recognized this need for their customer as they expanded their orchard, cold storage, and processing operations across Australia. Following years of growth through a combination of greenfield developments and strategic acquisitions, the client’s operational technology environment had become fragmented, inefficient, and increasingly difficult to scale. Manual processes, siloed systems, and a mixture of outdated HMI and SCADA architectures created significant barriers to achieving operational excellence, quality control, and enterprise-wide visibility. Recognizing the urgent need for modernization, Vide Ultra brought in CanDoIt Solutions to design and deliver a fully integrated operational technology platform. Built on Inductive Automation’s Ignition ecosystem, alongside complementary technologies, the solution was crafted to unify operations from orchard management through to cold storage and high-volume processing. By centralizing data flows across all business layers, CanDoIt Solutions empowered Vide Ultra with a resilient, scalable architecture that delivers: Real-time operational visibility Full end-to-end traceability Performance optimization Data-driven strategic decision-making across the entire enterprise Ignition’s flexibility, rapid development capabilities, and modular approach allowed CanDoIt Solutions to bridge gaps between traditionally siloed operations, creating a future-ready foundation for continued growth and innovation in a highly competitive agricultural market.
