Part of the Food Manufacturers series
Every minute counts in food production: during manufacturing, product changes and machine set-up. With ZEUS® Production Data Capture for food manufacturers, you can record production times, operations and set-up processes directly within the production process. This makes it clear where time is being spent, where it is being lost and how production can be systematically optimised.
Many individual steps work together in food production. With ZEUS® Production Data Capture, you can record orders, operations and production times directly within the ongoing production process. This creates a consistent data foundation showing when production started, how long individual operations take and when a batch was completed.
Whether it is a recipe change, format change or cleaning: valuable production time can easily be lost when switching between products. ZEUS® Production Data Capture makes set-up processes measurable and compares actual times with predefined targets. This allows food manufacturers to identify which product changes take particularly long and where processes can be optimised.
A batch rarely runs exactly according to plan. Quantities may vary, operations may take longer or rework may be required. With ZEUS® Production Data Capture, relevant production data can be recorded and analysed directly. This makes deviations visible and allows them to be analysed systematically instead of causing surprises later during post-calculation.
Which products run particularly efficiently? Where do long lead times occur? Which orders generate above-average effort? ZEUS® Production Data Capture provides the data needed to answer precisely these questions. Order histories, target and actual times as well as production data create a reliable basis for costing, controlling and process optimisation.
With the ZEUS® Production Data Capture system, food manufacturers record production times directly whilst the process is underway. Orders and work stages are recorded digitally and the actual times are documented. This makes it clear exactly how long it takes to produce a batch.
Yes. Set-up times are a key factor, particularly when product changes are frequent. The ZEUS® Production Data Capture system enables set-up processes to be recorded and analysed. This allows food manufacturers to identify which product changes take a particularly long time and where processes can be speeded up.
Yes. ZEUS® PDC can be integrated with other ZEUS® solutions. This allows production data to be linked to working hours and staff deployment. For food manufacturers, this provides a comprehensive overview of which staff members are working on which production processes, when and for how long.
The production and working hours actually recorded provide important data for post-project costing. This makes it easier to assess how much time and effort were actually spent on a job and to what extent the actual figures differ from the original estimate.
