Empowering Your Food & Beverage Business Strategies

How Do You Accelerate Operating Strategies?

Through our long history we’ve continually enhanced our solutions to deliver value where you need it. Whether you’re engineering more flexible assets to keep pace with product innovation, or driving structured continuous improvement programs to drive down inventories and manage costs, our solutions fit with your goals.

 

Operational Excellence

To achieve both plant and supply-chain level efficiencies, a solid foundation of reliability and predictability is needed. Tap into our experience and see how our solutions have helped our customers secure and build on their progress along a consistent set of improvement milestones:

  • Process/Production Visibility – Using HMI and control systems to empower operators and maintenance with line-side metrics and machine data
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) – Using the Proficy suite to integrate data assets along production routes, and adding dimensions of analysis for a more complete understanding of factors affecting throughput
  • Process Reliability – Incorporating rich quality information to extend loss analysis and prevention, and to maximize material usage
  • Standardized Work Processes – Ensuring consistent work processes with structured task execution, event management and line-side supporting information
  • Enterprise Operational Excellence – Extending analytics across the production network; integrating performance and event data to enterprise systems for improved planning and execution

Food Safety

  

Food Safety

Leading producers use their investments in quality systems to go beyond basic release or containment processes. By integrating quality practices and data within overall Operational Excellence programs, producer gain greater insight into the operating conditions that presage quality or safety issues – and vice versa. The Proficy suite provides a complete framework for leveraging quality and safety data:
                       

  • Material Receipt & Validation: Capture critical characteristic information – to validate safety and to drive process tuning that maximizes yield
  • Integrate Safety, Process and Event Data – Use a full profile of process conditions around food safety incidents to isolate all potential causes of adulteration
  • Integrate Manual Work Practices – Supplement data from automation with structured, auditable task management capability with Proficy Workflow
  • Automate HACCP Data Generation – Take advantage of rich connectivity to control systems and other manufacturing IT to simplify and systematize HACCP data collection

Manufacturing Sustainability

With increasing costs for utilities and permits, resource conservation is as much about the bottom line as it is about stewardship. Yet in the pursuit of a lower impact business, the quality of your product cannot be compromised. Our portfolio of solutions delivers the information needed to understand how to manage these competing needs – enabling you to mix continuous improvement strategies with capital expenditures for a balanced outcome.

  • Advanced Automation – Ensuring precise control of delicate processes, so energy, water and other key inputs are consumed appropriately
  • Open & Layered – Visualization, data collection and reporting/analytical tools designed to integrate with diverse assets and other systems – unlocking the information in your processes
  • Comprehensive Analysis – Manage utility or chemical inputs in the same framework as standard materials – correlating all machine, ingredient and process information against consumption for deep insight into improvement opportunities
