Scaling Quality: The Hanssens Catering Case Study

How does a family business prepare 60,000 fresh school meals every morning in a tight 3-hour window? By pairing experienced chefs with intelligent automation.

In our new case study, “The Digital Heirloom: Using AutoChef and ARTIS to Preserve the Hanssens Quality Standard for a New Generation of Customers.”, we take a deep dive into how Belgium’s Hanssens Catering retrofitted their kitchen with Blentech AutoChef® and ARTIS® platforms to transition into a highly efficient, recipe-driven system.

The data-driven results speak for themselves:

• 33% Reduction in quality defects within the first year.
• 1,250 Labor Hours recovered annually by automating post-production cleaning.
• 0 Complaints from rookie operators, shortening onboarding to under 60 days.

By letting automation handle repeatable tasks and safety interlocks, Hanssens reduced operator stress while preserving human culinary expertise where it matters most.
