When a manual thawing process starts slowing down production, automation can make all the difference.

For one commercial bakery, frozen bread trays were being moved by hand, timed manually, and often left sitting too long. The result was wasted product, lost labor hours, and a process that could not scale.

STI designed and built a multi-zone powered roller conveyor system to move trays through up to 8 thawing zones, track timing through integrated HMI controls, and automate entry and exit with roll-up doors and safety interlocks.

The result: one truckload processed in under an hour, two lines running simultaneously, fewer thawing errors, and a more repeatable workflow for operators.

A smarter system does more than move product. It helps remove bottlenecks, protect quality, and give teams room to grow.
