How Tress used Kraka to overcome language barriers in production
Multilingual employee training for more than 170 production staff — digitised, translated automatically and available right at the machine.
Run as a family business for more than 75 years, organic ready-meal manufacturer Tress employs over 170 people on the Swabian Alb. Thanks to the highest quality standards and efficient processes, the long-established company today supplies major customers across Europe with high-quality organic products.
Growth meets reality: training hits its limits
As the team grew and became more international, Tress faced a complex task: more than 170 employees from many different nations had to be trained on the highly specialised processes of food production.
Language barriers
Training material was often only available in German, which slowed down the onboarding of international skilled workers.
Complexity
Operating the machines and meeting the strict organic standards require precise instructions that were hard to convey in theory.
High time investment
Experienced employees were tied up by constantly training new colleagues by hand.
Training rethought right on the production floor
Tress rolled out Kraka to bring knowledge transfer to where the work happens: onto the production floor. Real video footage and artificial intelligence combined into an entirely new training standard.
Hands-on video modules
Instead of dry manuals, films were shot right at the machines. They show exactly how processes run and how problems can be solved independently.
AI translation at the touch of a button
Existing and new training was uploaded to the Kraka platform. The built-in AI translated the content automatically into every native language spoken in the team.
An intuitive platform
Employees reach the whole body of knowledge on mobile and in their own language — exactly when they need it at the machine.
Measurable relief and faster onboarding
Since the rollout the effects have been visible in production and in HR alike.
Thanks to native-language video guides, new team members are ready to work productively far sooner.
Better integration and a clear understanding of their own tasks lifted satisfaction and long-term retention.
Complex processes are documented unambiguously for every employee — regardless of any language barrier.
A scalable training standard for further growth.
By working with Kraka, Tress has made the leap from traditional training to digital, AI-supported knowledge transfer. The result is more efficient production, noticeable relief for the core workforce and a more inclusive company culture, ready for further European growth.
