The food industry is in motion. It has been for many years, but the movements that are involved in that motion are increasingly being made in an automated way. Think of processing, packaging, palletizing, etc. Lan Handling Technologies is specialized in the engineering, production and integration of retort room automation solutions. Since this often involves customized work on a project basis, it is a thin line to have enough, but not too many, engineers in house. In order to be able to deal with the peaks, Lan Handling Technologies has been calling on Yitch as a staffing partner.

Mr. Mallo is one of the largest producers of premium marshmallows in Europe, producing nearly 6.5 billion marshmallows or 20,000 tons per year from four production facilities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. As a private label for numerous supermarkets, those sweets are sold in more than 57 countries. However, such a high volume also requires that losses in production are kept to a strict minimum. To achieve this, the company turned to Yitch and its engineers.

Biocartis (based in Mechelen, Belgium) is the manufacturer of Idylla™ systems and cartridges, which make it possible to deliver molecular diagnostics information rapidly and easily in oncology and infectious diseases (such as for sepsis and SARS-CoV-2). In order to improve its production process, Biocartis called upon Yitch. 

In Deurne, near Antwerp, Aquafin manages a unique plant, which is manned 24/7. Other than the biogas installation, a waste water treatment plant and a sludge dryer can be found on the extensive site, creating a unique set-up in Flanders.

Yitch and its partner iOnLogistics designed a 'Smart Terminal' for our customer Vlaeynatie.

The brand-new terminal was designed from scratch with Yitch, and specialises in the distribution of synthetic fertilizer.

In Flanders, Aquafin manages over 230 water treatment plants. Most of those plants are running on outdated soft- and hardware of nearly 15 years old. After this period, most of the hardware, such als plc's, are end-of-life and will no longer be supported.

In order to achieve a faultless and accurate order picking at the pharmaceutical wholesaler Febelco, the scanners need to read barcodes within a fraction of a second. Yitch was given the task to optimise the scanning system and the order picking process.

In 2003 LAN Handling Systems first called on Yitch’s services. The Dutch company specialises in handling systems for the food- and pharmaceutical industry and needed experienced programmers on a very short notice. Those programmers could not be found on the domestic labour market nor at any Dutch players.
