Rempel Automation

People, process, then software and machines.

We start with the people who do the work and the process they run. Software, controllers, sensors, machines, and robots come after that, and only for what the assessment shows you need.

Most businesses fragment equipment, office work, and people in separate worlds. We connect them so the same information moves with the work. That includes paperwork and software, and it includes scales, sensors, and machines.

Our advantage

Software, hardware, and AI each get cheaper every year. One accountable team that puts all three to work inside your building is still rare.

The combination is how we deliver. What is hard to copy is below.

How we compare

What the usual alternatives give you, and where they fall short.

What the usual alternatives give you, and where they fall short.
Your alternativeWhat you getWhere it falls shortWhat we do instead
Software vendor aloneFast start, low price.Stops at the screen. Scales, scanners, controllers, and machines stay outside the workflow.Software and hardware automation on the same record. Rules, scanners, scales, printers, and controllers work together. Conduit helps with onboarding and day-to-day work.
Hardware integrator aloneScale, credentials, and machine experience.Priced and paced for much larger budgets. Office software is often a separate project with a separate vendor.One engagement for software and hardware automation, phased for a small or mid-sized operation, starting with the piece that pays back first.
Build it yourself with AI toolsCheap prototype, full control.Someone still has to make software and machines reliable together, train the crew, and answer the phone in harvest or peak season.We own reliability across the integrated stack and Conduit, including training and support.

What automation is for

Productivity, quality, and safety.

An engagement aims at one or more of these. We measure before and after.

Who we work with

Small and mid-sized, owner-led businesses.

Typically tens of employees, one or two people who hold the whole operation in their heads, and a stack of spreadsheets, paper, software, and equipment that does not quite fit.

Products

Three products we implement and support.

FarmWork and FarmBridge grew out of opportunities at Froese Vegetables Inc. Conduit is the AI helper we add to the systems we deliver. Case studies are separate.

    FarmWork

    Time and production

    Workforce time, piecework, and payroll rules that match how agriculture actually pays people, with offline field capture.

  • FarmBridge lot details with scale weight breakdown and dock camera stills on one record.

    FarmBridge

    Receiving through shipping

    Receiving through shipping on one trail. Software workflows share the same flow as scales, cameras, printers, scanners, and floor sequences.

Case studies

What changed for specific operations.

Froese Vegetables Inc.

Seasonal workforce time, piecework, and payroll.

Problem
Complex pay rules (conditional bonuses, program deductions, hourly plus piecework on the same task) and double-entry of hours and production. Generic time clocks and HR tools could not model that pay.
Solution
FarmWork was built so time and production are collected once in the field or packing area, pay rules run in the system, and payroll reviews a clean file.
What changed
Payroll reviews exceptions and exports. Supervisors still own the clock and the count where the work happens.

Froese Vegetables Inc.

Receiving through shipping for packing and distribution.

Problem
Different forms and flows per product. Receiving, processing, inventory, and shipping had to stay traced. Existing systems covered steps but forced the shed to work for the software.
Solution
FarmBridge was built as a configurable system that fits how the shed already works, including paper processes, sensors, and machines, with a recall window that can be tuned.
What changed
Identity, location, and quantity stay on one trail. Load-out is a move plus an allocation on that same trail.

Roofing company

Crew time, job cost, and accounting.

Problem
Once the roof is open, the job changes. Extra labour, materials from the trailer, and field notes live in texts and memory instead of the job file.
Solution
Keep the estimating tool. Connect crew time, job cost, field issues with photos, trailer inventory, equipment service, and accounting.

Manufacturer

Time clock, ERP, and benefits.

Problem
Hours are re-keyed from the time clock into the ERP on payroll day. Benefits live in spreadsheets.
Solution
Keep the clock and the ERP. Reviewed hours post on a schedule. Benefits move into a review step instead of a spreadsheet.

Continuous improvement

Audit and document

Audit and document

Walk the work. Map what exists, including the spreadsheets people hesitate to mention.

We walk the floor, the field, and the office, and talk with the people who do the work.

We map paperwork, software, accounting, inputs and outputs, receiving and shipping, machining and robotics, scanning and printing.

You receive a process map with time and pain points per step, and a short list of the largest wins.
