Gregg Vencomatic

The Gregg is a robot egg that can be used for testing egg handling systems like egg packers. Each Gregg is full of sensors, when they roll over the packer and collide with other eggs, they register the g-forces. Every touch in the machine gets a number and at the end of the test a final number comes out. The app is used for all information and communication with the Gregg. All machines that leave our company are tested with the Gregg. A test takes 10 minutes, carried out step by step.

With the Gregg, we have learned how important it is for specialists to adjust the machines; you need to know what you are doing. The Gregg is a great tool, but you have to use it in the right way to get the machine to a higher level. For example, you need to know what a point setting is, or what input ports are.

Thanks to the Gregg, the client has as little breakage as possible and earns more. That also fits in with our vision, we want to deliver optimal quality. This is certainly important in the world of hatching eggs, but also of table eggs. For example, a machine that has been adjusted and tested by someone will always be checked by a colleague. Quality is high priority at our company, we call it 'the gentle egg way': careful handling of eggs.

Soon the Gregg eggs will also be used at customers to see if everything is working properly after installation. The first tests show that the machine values we measured do not differ much from the values after installation at the farm.
