Deliver Quality Products At Lower Cost
- Tighten Process Controls: Monitor and control critical production parameters, ensuring consistent quality from ingredient mixing and cooking temperatures to assembly line speeds across all SKUs.
- Fine-Tune Inspection: Track and trend quality check data at various stages to identify non-conformances and reduce defects per million.
- Reduce Waste: Enable your frontline to identify and rectify inefficiencies in real-time, reducing material excess, product overruns, and energy consumption.
- Optimize Yield: Maximize product quality and yield with tailored dashboards for analyzing batch data and production trends to reduce waste, energy consumption, and operational costs.
Enhance Operational Visibility and Efficiency
- Downtime Monitoring: Identify issues impacting productivity, enhance capacity utilization, and reduce disruptions in production by addressing downtime events and unplanned maintenance promptly.
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness: Track and visualize critical live measures of throughput, availability, and quality within the production process. Accurately assess how efficiently any line or plant is running at any given time.
- Streamlined Workflow Management: Create dynamic flows that allow for separate operators to complete checks in order and with minimal interruption. Boost productivity in job shops, batch production, assembly lines, and mixed-mode manufacturing environments.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
- Compliance Management: Maintain rigorous compliance across all plant activities, from raw material receipt to final product shipment. Adhere to a comprehensive array of standards and regulations such as USDA, FDA, FTC, and more.
- Document Control and Audit Readiness: Streamline third-party and internal audits with a centralized digital document management system. Alleviate the burden on Quality by providing auditors secure access to discrete information and historical records.
- Labeling Accuracy: Manage data from pre-printed items and nutritional labels from each of your SKUs to stay compliant with USDA, FDA, and customer standards.
- EHS and Sanitation: Fulfill reporting requirements for waste and recycling regulations, and ensure sanitation standards are up-to-date with raw material packaging requirements.
Maximize Efficiency Through Integrated Data
- Automated (IoT) Data Capture: Automate the capture of digital data from equipment, ensuring accurate records of changeover times, energy consumption, and quality metrics to ensure every element of the CPG manufacturing process is measured and managed.
- Maintenance: Monitor equipment in real-time and leverage data to support Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP).
- Traceability: Quickly unify and associate data and identifiers (such as raw material, batch/lot numbers, etc.) with any process documented by your team during the production cycle.
