U.S. Salt is a major salt producer serving customers across industries, from food to pharmaceuticals and technology. After acquiring plants in New York and New Jersey, the company decided to move from its existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in favour of a joined-up tool with the rest of the business.



The basic methods used in the global salt industry involve (i) an evaporation system, i.e. artificial (open-pan and vacuum evaporation) or natural solar evaporation, and (ii) rock salt mining [3]. Artificial evaporation using a vacuum method and a heat exchanger is commonly used to evaporate large amounts of brine to extract the salt.
