Agriholding Case Study: Conveyor Automation

Agriholding Case Study: Conveyor Automation
18 April 2025

How automation accelerated production processes for a global agricultural leader.

KONSORT is a Ukrainian manufacturer of conveyor equipment that helps businesses automate production, optimize logistics, and increase operational efficiency. In this case study, we describe how our team provided a tailored automation solution for an international agribusiness client and optimized their logistics.

🔍 Challenge: The Client’s Request

Our client — a Forbes-listed leader in the agribusiness sector — approached us to automate the unloading of vehicles with cleaned seeds. Previously, the unloading was done with full corn cobs, but they needed a faster, cleaner solution.

Artem Fedii, Head of Project Department at KONSORT:
“When we received the request, we evaluated several options. It became clear that our initial idea — such as building a silo pit — wouldn’t work due to communication issues. We needed a quick, efficient solution that didn’t require major structural changes.”

Our team proposed a mobile hopper with an integrated conveyor — a safe and flexible alternative.


💡 Our Solution

We developed a mobile hopper with a 20 m³ capacity and built-in conveyor system.

Key benefits:

  • High mobility — easily moved when needed;

  • Automation without concrete demolition;

  • Logistics optimization — unloading time reduced to 20 minutes.

“The mobile hopper allowed the client to transition to a new workflow without high costs. It’s adaptable, mobile, and fully meets the company’s safety standards,” says the project manager.


🔧 Project Implementation Stages

  1. Audit & Design — on-site assessment, measurements, custom proposals;

  2. Agreement — international supplier registration process;

  3. 3D Modeling — digital layout with mirrored equipment for twin lines;

  4. Manufacturing — 2–3 weeks for fabrication, welding, and painting;

  5. Installation & Commissioning — equipment installed in 10 days.


✅ Results

After setup and testing:

  • Unloading time significantly reduced;

  • Automation lowered operational costs;

  • Flexibility for different seed types improved;

  • Overall efficiency increased;

  • Client requested long-term servicing for 200+ conveyor systems.
