Innovation unleashed: Tummers and Siemens partner to digitize potato processing

Tummers Food Processing Solutions in the Netherlands last week announced a new strategic partnership with Siemens. This collaboration is said to mark a significant milestone in the digital transformation of the potato processing industry and underscores Tummers’ ongoing commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

The company says in a press release that it is renowned for its innovative solutions in washing, peeling, cutting, and drying technologies, and has recently expanded its product portfolio with the ambitious E2E (Emission to Energy) programme.

Now, the company is adding a powerful digital layer to its machinery with the introduction of Tummers Connect, a groundbreaking platform that makes machine management simpler and more accessible than ever before.

With Tummers Connect, users can not only monitor the operational status of their machines via an intuitive dashboard but also consult manuals, order spare parts, view service history, and even adjust machine settings. This offers an unprecedented level of control, flexibility, and convenience for the food processing industry.

The partnership with Siemens plays a crucial role in the development of this platform. Siemens brings decades of expertise in automation and digital solutions, ensuring that the technology is safe, efficient, and future-proof.

“We have found a strong and experienced partner in Siemens,” said Lennaert van Dijk, Managing Director of Tummers. “When the opportunity for collaboration arose, we seized it with both hands. Thanks to the existing connections with Neeraj Singh from Tummers and Noorie Ahmed from Siemens, the foundation for this partnership was quickly established.”

The official announcement of the collaboration took place during Anuga FoodTec, and after a period of intensive cooperation, the partnership has now been officially confirmed by Lennaert van Dijk and Dirk de Bilde, CEO of Siemens Netherlands N.V., during a visit to Tummers. Dirk De Bilde calls it a great example of how a company gets started with digitization from a customer-oriented vision.

The first results of this partnership will be showcased at Interpom, where Tummers and Siemens will jointly present the next phase of Tummers Connect.

“We are proud to welcome Siemens as a partner in this exciting project. Together, we are taking an important step towards a smarter, digital future for the potato processing industry,” said Lennaert.
