Palm Egypt, one of the major date packers from Egypt, faced a growing appetite for high-quality Medjool dates from more than 35 countries. With harvest volumes rising and international demand expanding, the company saw major opportunities to increase production and expand their customer base.However, their reliance on manual pre-sorting made it difficult to deliver exactly what was needed, especially with last-minute orders requiring specific sizes, moisture levels, skin separation standards, and other small defect tolerances. During the short harvest season, every hour counted, but manual labor couldn’t keep up.Palm Egypt was looking for a solution that could handle high throughput and deliver greater flexibility to meet all customer requirements at short notice. Their goal was to improve the reliability of partnership with customers by consistently delivering on time, according to spec and with a reputation for consistent premium quality. Small margins in sizes and quality levels make a big difference in revenue, both for Palm Egypt and their customers.To achieve this, Palm Egypt invested in a Elisam grader powered by Ellips AI. The result? A fully automated, accurate, and efficient operation that consistently meets export standards and satisfies global demand.“We are loyal to deliver excellent quality.
