E-cat kit introduction case: Ashikawa Farm

The amount that can be transported at one time has significantly increased, reducing the fatigue associated with transportation!

We would like to introduce a case study of the "E-cat kit" implemented at Ashikawa Farm, which cultivates various citrus fruits in Shizuoka Prefecture. Before the implementation, a significant challenge was the exhaustion of physical strength and inefficiency, as they had to transport over 300 kilograms of harvested goods in a day. After the implementation, the number of workers needed for transportation decreased from three to almost one, allowing for an increase in the number of people available for cutting, leading to more efficient harvesting. Most importantly, the fatigue from transportation was greatly reduced. [Case Overview] ■ Challenge: Containers weighing about 20 kilograms were carried one by one on shoulders to the truck, covering a distance of 30 to 50 meters manually. ■ Results: - After implementation, the amount harvested increased by 1.5 times compared to before. - It became possible to plant mandarin trees in a more efficient layout. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
