Enhancing Chocolate Manufacturing: Zotter Chocolate's Technological Upgrade

Zotter Chocolate GmbH, renowned for its commitment to organic and fair-trade products, has recently taken a significant step forward in its manufacturing process by integrating noax Technologies' rugged industrial PCs. This innovative leap aims to streamline operations, boost traceability, and support sustainable production practices for their impressive array of over 500 unique chocolate varieties.

Emphasizing Quality and Sustainability

Founded by the visionary chocolatier Josef Zotter, the company is celebrated for introducing adventurous flavors, including beer, nettle jelly, and red wine-infused chocolates. Critical to their success is the establishment of a highly personalized and hygienic manufacturing process, a feat made easier with the deployment of noax's advanced S19 and S21 stainless steel PCs.

These rugged computers are specifically designed to handle demanding environments, ensuring full functionality even under challenging conditions. With the integration of recipe management, machine control, and real-time data collection, Zotter can maintain optimal control over its production processes.

Rugged Performance in Challenging Environments

Josef Zotter himself attests to the necessity of robust technology within their factory operations. “When production runs at full capacity, dust is a common challenge. I’ve never had to worry about the computer technology with noax—these rugged PCs have proven themselves indispensable!” he remarked.

The noax industrial PCs, recognized for their IP65-certified protection against dust and moisture, also feature food-safe sealed housings. These specifications enable Zotter Chocolate to maintain operational reliability despite the inevitable cocoa dust, flour, and milk powder present in the facility.

Moreover, the long lifecycle and processing power of they support Zotter's ERP systems, which are critical for managing vast amounts of production data seamlessly. As Zotter's IT specialist states, “Our ERP system requires considerable resources; noax PCs equipped with i7 processors and ample storage capacity meet that demand effectively.”

A Partnership for the Future

Zotter's alliance with noax Technologies reflects a shared vision of sustainability, quality, and long-term value. While Zotter meticulously crafts chocolates sourced from ethical suppliers, noax assembles its products in Munich, Germany, providing localized support from their service hub in Charlotte, North Carolina.
