Grip Cannabis Cuts Post-Harvest Labor Costs by 62% with Marvel
Grip Cannabis Cuts Post-Harvest Labor Costs by 62% with Marvel
CASE STUDY
The Challenge
Outdoor harvests arrive in a short, weather-sensitive window. Grip needed to trim, sort, and grade very large volumes fast enough to protect late-season material from fall conditions without ballooning labor. Previously, 30–50 people worked up to 20 hours/day and still couldn’t keep pace, driving costs into the millions and putting late batches at risk.
The Solution
Grip implemented the Marvel AI GEN 3 machine as the intelligence layer between existing equipment to automate quality control and flow-routing:
The Results
- 62% reduction in labor costs – $700,000 / harvest season
- 100% faster trimming throughput
- Consistent quality across all batches
Intelligent decisioning, not just automation, creating Closed-loop flow control. Marvel evaluates trim quality and contamination, determines the optimal next step, and executes that step all at once.
“2x speed of last season with less than half the crew. Marvel pays for itself in 2 weeks.”
