FMCG Manufacturing Automation

We connect directly to line equipment to extract production data at the source and feed it into dashboards or the OEE platform the client is already using. Where clients have an existing OEE vendor, we handle the data extraction and integration layer. Where they do not, we build the reporting layer. The priority is accurate line data that reflects actual production conditions.

OEM equipment integration is one of the most common problems we solve in FMCG facilities. We integrate machines into the site control environment so that operators have a consistent view across the line, data flows where it should, and the controls architecture is maintainable going forward. We also help clients define communication and integration requirements in the equipment specification before an order is placed, so new machines arrive ready to connect to site controls rather than needing a costly retrofit after delivery.

We understand the process behind a high-speed FMCG line, from infeed buffering and accumulation through filling, checkweighing, multi-SKU changeover and end-of-line case packing and palletising. Structuring line control around PackML-style states and clean machine handshakes is what keeps micro-stops from cascading and what makes fast, repeatable format changes possible.

For line upgrades and new line delivery, we design controls that are consistent, well-documented and built to be extended. In high-volume FMCG operations the largest gains come from lifting OEE through better changeover, higher uptime and steadier throughput, and that requires both the right controls architecture and the data infrastructure to see where the opportunity sits.
