Industry Challenges

What Consumer Goods Plants Face Every Day

Consumer goods manufacturing operates under enormous pressure — short product lifecycles, high SKU diversity, seasonal demand spikes and razor-thin margins leave no room for inefficiency. A stockout means lost shelf space; an overrun means written-off stock. We build systems that keep your lines running and your planners in control.

No real-time production visibility — planners flying blind on throughput
High SKU changeovers with no digital changeover guides or checklists
Packaging line OEE unknown — stoppages unrecorded and unmanaged
Batch and lot traceability gaps — customer complaints cannot be traced
SAP production orders updated manually, hours behind actual output
Demand planning disconnected from shop floor actual vs plan data
Label and artwork changes causing wrong-label incidents on line
No predictive maintenance on fillers, sealers and wrapping machines
OEE Unknown
Packaging lines running at 55–65% OEE without tracking
SKU Complexity
100+ SKUs with manual changeover — 2–4 hrs lost per switch
Traceability Gap
Consumer complaint cannot be traced to batch, line or supplier
Label Incidents
Wrong-label products reaching retail — recall & brand risk
Demand Mismatch
Over/under-production — excess stock or stockouts at peak
ERP Data Lag
Goods receipts and confirmations 4–8 hrs behind production
