Food Processing Solutions

For most food manufacturers raw materials, labor, and energy are the critical cost centres that pose the greatest obstacles for business performance. Working in collaboration with our customers, our Food and Beverage Industry team has developed several solutions targeted at reducing these costs while improving overall manufacturing processes, efficiencies, and product quality. The solutions leverage value engineering and lean practices to reduce costs and minimize waste.

Recipe Management/Batch Solutions – Gain control of raw material usage and product yield, track production and improve product quality and consistency with solutions matched to your specific needs.

Energy Efficiency – Energy Monitoring and Targeting systems follow methods for continuous improvement to reduce utility usage and variability. Our auditing services can examine equipment or line processes for areas to target for improvement.

Line Automation and Control – Through the implementation or optimization of targeted automation and control that considers total lifecycle cost, value improvements can be received in areas such as reduced labor costs, increased throughput, and reduced scrap. Focused improvements in packaging operations can provide additional waste reduction, remove bottlenecks and increase overall production.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness – OEE is a tool that illustrates efficiency issues as related to the six big loss areas in line production: breakdowns, set-ups and adjustments, small stops, reduced speed, start-up rejects and production rejects. Not sure if OEE is a tool that can benefit your facility? Request your complimentary OEE Starter Kit today to analyze your process needs.
