Eka Software Solutions, the leading global provider of Smart Commodity Management software solutions, announced today that Quattro Grain has selected Eka’s InSight CM – Site Automation Control solution to manage process planning, scheduling, task execution, material tracking, grain receival, grain transfers, and inventory management.
Quattro Grain is a joint venture between Cargill, Noble Group, Emerald Grain, and Qube Logistics to build a new, multi-commodity grain handling and export facility at Port Kembla in New South Wales, Australia.
