Get the Most Out of Your Food & Beverage Manufacturing Processes

People consume the products you produce, so as food and beverage manufacturers, it is crucial that your operations are optimized to ensure quality and safety. After all, consumer health and their satisfaction are at stake. Manufacturing goals that we can help you achieve include:

  • Operational excellence, efficiency, and sustainability.
  • Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) for better asset reliability, health, and life.
  • Alert notifications for faster response time.
  • Predictive maintenance for reduced downtime and costs.
  • Optimal packaging production.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) for OEMs

It’s safe to say that all Food & Beverage manufacturers are looking for magical gains in their manufacturing — improved efficiency, quality, performance, and uptime. The ICONICS suite can help you realize these magical gains by automating your operations. You’ll be able to specify and keep track of crucial KPI’s for enhanced OEE and productivity. ICONICS also allows your operators and personnel to work more efficiently and precisely to maintain quality standards.  

Predictive Maintenance for OEMs

Reducing the substantial costs related to unexpected downtime is essential to running a profitable operation, so knowing when to schedule maintenance and on what asset is key. The ICONICS suite of software gives you the capability for predictive maintenance. Our software:

  • Collects and analyzes real-time operational data.
  • Provides rich, detailed visualizations of your production and assets.
  • Gives timely notifications prior to any deterioration of manufacturing performance or efficiency.

As a result, your operators can make informed decisions about optimally scheduling and performing maintenance.

Get quality data that can be used to its fullest potential

The ICONICS suite wrangles data to provide advanced operational visualization and insight resulting in the optimization of your production and packaging. You’ll be able to:

  • Visualize Production in Real Time

    Visualize production in real time with rapid animations and responsive displays. Graphs, trends, and other metrics update in real-time to provide a comprehensive production overview. 

  • Monitor Production Quality

    Manage food and beverage production quality with native graphs and trends and quality reporting with ICONICS’ Quality AnalytiX®. Quality AnalytiX allows operators, quality personnel, manufacturing engineers, and management to view quality SPC data. 

  • Generate Comprehensive Reports

    Our fully integrated reporting module ReportWorX™ 64 organizes data into easily accessible report spreadsheets, especially for FDA compliant records and signatures. And its advanced scheduling engine can deliver reports directly to your email, phone, or other HMI screen, so your data is always when and where you need it.

  • Oversee Production Packaging

    Supervise production packaging using real-time data and our advanced dashboards. You’ll ensure all aspects of production packaging and its related logistics are running efficiently and optimally.
