How Poka Can Support Schwan's Company

Instant Multilingual Training From Docs and Video

Schwan’s can use Poka AI to convert existing SOPs and even training videos into structured, frontline-ready digital work instructions, then translate them into the languages plant workers need. This makes it faster to standardize execution across frozen production tasks like sanitation resets, allergen changeovers, temperature checks, and packaging inspections.

One Source of Truth for Every Shift

Schwan's centralize work instructions, CILs, and checklists so operators no longer have to hunt through shared drives and binders. This is especially valuable for frozen foods, where consistent execution matters across freezer CCP monitoring, metal detector checks, label verification, and pre-op hygiene checks, even in older facilities.

Integrate Safety, Skills, and Maintenance

Schwan's can reduce system-hopping by integrating Poka with Brady (LOTO), Demarco (SDS), UKG (skills & scheduling), and SAP PM for maintenance issues, plus potential SCADA signals to trigger digital checklists, escalations, or guided troubleshooting from the line.

Reduce Downtime for Frozen Food Production Lines

Schwan's can reduce downtime on frozen lines which can linger when troubleshooting relies on paper instructions, radio calls, or a few senior technicians. Poka puts standardized digital guidance, checklists, and shift handovers at the point of use, capturing proven fixes so plant teams restore the line faster and more consistently.

Tyson Foods Manages Personnel Training Data with Poka-Workday Integration

"We have found that Poka brilliantly did not build itself to replace other solutions — by design, it interacts effectively with [other systems]. Its open API capabilities provide flexibility in how the data is structured."
