Kijadi, wakulima wangeweza kupanga karibu majira gani ya baridi, masika, majira ya joto, na vuli leta. Walijua ni mazao gani wangezaa, wakati mzuri wa kupanda, na ni nani alikuwa akinunua. Lini ilifika hali ya hewa, walikuwa na wazo nzuri ya hali gani za kutarajia kila msimu, kuandika kitabu juu yake katika machapisho yao ya kila mwaka ambayo hata leo, ni sahihi zaidi kuliko mtaalam wa hali ya hewa. Hata bado, almanaka bora haingeweza kutabiri sura juu kuongezeka kwa soko kutotarajiwa na itifaki za kutenganisha kijamii.
Kutosheleza mahitaji haya wakati unalinda wafanyikazi kunaweza kuwa shida zaidi ikiwa vifaa vya kuchagua vinahitaji njia ya mikono-ya-juu. Kwa wazalishaji wengi na wakulima, janga hili lina shughuli ngumu zaidi, ikisisitiza mapambano ya vifaa vya zamani, na kwa jumla, ilifanya kazi ngumu tayari iwe ngumu zaidi.
VIZAZI VINNE VYA KUFANYA KAZI NCHI
Wakulima huko Gumz ni aina ya kipekee ya utatuzi wa shida ambao hutumia siku nyingi kutunza mavuno yao wakati wanapata faida zaidi kutoka kwa ardhi na mikono yao. Ndugu, Richard na Roderick, Gumz wanawakilisha kizazi cha nne kwenye shamba lao la familia huko Wisconsin. Ndugu hawa wawili wamejitolea kwa maadili ya kazi na maadili ya ardhi - ambayo wote wanajivunia kushiriki katika mazao yao.
Wakati Richard na Roderick wakiendelea na urithi wa babu yao mkubwa, wameendelea na utamaduni wa kulea na kutoa mazao bora zaidi ambayo mchanga tajiri wa Wisconsin unaweza kutoa.
Wakati babu yao alipoanzisha shamba la familia ya Gumz miaka 129 iliyopita, wakulima 'walikuwa wakibadilika kutoka ng'ombe hadi matrekta kabla ya kutoka mkono kwenda kwa kulima mashine - mbinu zote ambazo zilisaidia shamba kupata zaidi kutoka chini. Kwa kufanya hivyo, waliruhusu teknolojia ya wakati huo kufanya kazi kwa bidii kwao na iliendelea kujenga juu ya maboresho haya.
KUFANYA KAZI NDOGO NA NGUVU
Being efficient with time, energy, and resources – on top of hard work, means Gumz does a lot. Investing in their TOMRA sorter is another example of GUMZ using technology to help them work smarter. The TOMRA 3A imesaidia GUMZ kufunua sura zilizopotea za almanaka - kuboresha mavuno wakati inakuza kutengwa kwa jamii, ikawafanya wategemee kazi ya nje, na kuwawezesha kupanga wakati wowote wa hali ya hewa.
“To ensure our employees’ safety and well-being, we have increased regular cleanings of our facility, encouraged frequent hand washing, and provided employees with PPEs. Our biggest focus has been to emphasize social distancing in line with the CDC’s recommendations. The TOMRA 3A allows us to keep space between employees and get higher yields on the line.”

The TOMRA 3A delivers solutions for Gumz with its ability to remove a wide range of foreign materials, including clods, rocks, corn roots, corn stalks, and green potatoes from harvested potatoes before putting them into storage. During the 2020 harvest Gumz was sorting on average 60 tons/hour with TOMRAMsaada.
Kupungua kwa kutegemea kazi ya msimu wakati wa mavuno ni njia nyingine TOMRA 3A inasaidia Gumz kufanya kazi kwa busara. Kuzingatia zaidi kazi halisi, na chini ya kusimamia kazi kunamaanisha viazi nzuri zaidi kwenye bunkers, takataka kidogo zinazoingia kwenye laini ya kuosha, na maumivu ya kichwa kidogo.
NDEGE WA MAPEMA ANAPATA MOTO
Kuinuka na kuifuata kwa vizazi vinne, zawadi ya ukuaji ni kitu wanachohisi katika mifupa yao - ni kitu katika damu yao. Wakulima wanashikilia upendo kwa ardhi ambayo wengi hawatakuwa nayo - pamoja na bidii ya kufanya kazi ambayo wengine wanapata shida kuelewa. Tunajivunia kutumikia washirika wetu huko Gumz na tunafurahi kuwa sehemu ya sura zao zinazofuata.
Our partnership with GUMZ lets them focus on what they do best while leaving the sorting to us. Similarly, we want you to keep doing what you do best. Let TOMRA Food support your business and be a part of your story with our sorting solutions.
“With the significant increase in demand we have experienced, it would be hard to keep up, but this is where our TOMRA equipment has been invaluable for the operation. The TOMRA 3A reduces labor by 75-80% while increasing output – letting us supply the growing demand we are experiencing.”
