Time to market

The demanding and flexible production schedules enforced by supermarket chains necessitate very high levels of plant efficiency. Unplanned interruptions for maintenance or inefficient change-overs can have severe consequences.

With a modest capital investment, systems are available which collect and organise events from the production environment for dissemination into reliable, accurate information. For example, on-line SPC (Statistical Process Control) can be implemented to provide powerful insight into how plant equipment is performing, helping to predict the possibility of a malfunction before it affects the production schedule or product quality.
