Poka: The Pro's in Connected Worker Technology
Digitizing Hochland’s Craftsmanship with a Connected Worker Platform
Poka can help Hochland preserve the art of cheesemaking while scaling modern excellence. From Heimenkirch’s processed cheese to Baranowo’s cream cheese lines, Poka digitizes skills, procedures, and communication, ensuring quality, compliance, and continuous learning across every site.
The #1 Connected Worker Platform for Dairy Manufacturers
How Poka Can Support Hochland
Standardize Cheesemaking Across Global Sites
At Heimenkirch, Baranowo and Fromagerie Henri Hutin (France), operators may still rely on local documents and tribal knowledge to run milk standardization, curd cutting, brining, and packaging lines. Poka creates a single digital source of truth for SOPs and training so every batch follows the same recipe for success.
Strengthen Quality and Audit Readiness From Milk to Metal Detection
Daily checks like pasteurizer verification, brine salinity tests, and foil-seal integrity can become digital records in Poka. Supervisors can track training proof, CIP compliance, and IFS/BRC documentation in real time. When auditors arrive, Hochland can retrieve every record instantly, turning quality routines into continuous audit readiness.
Preserve Expertise and Upskill the Next Generation
Master cheesemakers at Heimenkirch and Schongau hold deep knowledge like curd texture judgment or brining cycles for Grünländer and Valbon. Poka makes it easy to record these techniques as short videos and step-by-step guides. New operators on cream-cheese and slicing lines learn on demand in their language, accelerating onboarding and reducing rework.
Accelerate Ramp-Up at New Facilities and Lines
As Hochland expands soft-ripened cheese capacity in France and modernizes packaging in Poland, Poka ensures every new employee and machine startup follows the latest standards. All SOPs, training, and change updates are preloaded and accessible on tablets from day one, reducing startup time and keeping teams aligned and safe.
