MES for food and beverage manufacturing

Food and beverage sites combine demanding traceability, multiple production batches, recurring cleaning cycles and strict quality requirements. A MES platform structures production, batches and quality checks to help structure the production and traceability data needed during quality audits.

Challenges

Industry challenges

  • Retrieve batch history quickly during an audit or a customer claim.
  • Centralize shop floor quality checks and link them to production batches.
  • Track downtime related to cleaning, format changes and material waits.
  • Compare line and shift performance objectively.
  • Reduce duplicate data entry between production, quality and plant management.

Shop floor problems

What slows production execution today

  • Batch tracking scattered across paper, labels and per-line Excel files.
  • Quality checks recorded on forms, disconnected from production batches and machines.
  • Cleaning and format-change stops poorly categorized in indicators.
  • End-of-shift reports rebuilt manually the next day.
  • OEE computed monthly, not actionable day to day.

What IBRIXIO delivers

How IBRIXIO responds

  • Production batch traceability linked to machine, production period and quality checks.
  • Structured quality checks (OK/NOK, measurements) usable as quality evidence.
  • Detection and standardization of downtime reasons, including cleaning and format-change stops.
  • OEE computed automatically from machine data, comparable across lines and shifts.
  • Daily production reports shared between operations, quality and plant management.

Use case

On the shop floor

Following a customer claim on a batch delivered four weeks earlier, the quality team retrieves the line, production period, operator and quality checks in minutes. Other batches from the same machine and period are flagged automatically to assess the risk scope.
