Originally Published on: QuantzigHow Predictive Analytics in Food Industry Increased Uptime of the Production Machines for a Major Canadian Multinational Food and Beverage Manufacturer? 

Even preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, the food and beverage industry proactively integrated Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies to optimize operational uptime. By experimenting with connected sensors, software, and remote monitoring tools, the industry sought solutions to combat challenges like supply chain disruptions and cost-saving initiatives. The last two years have witnessed a rapid adoption of predictive maintenance technology.

At the forefront of technological progress in the food and beverage sector, predictive maintenance offers automation and remote monitoring. Companies leverage advanced software and utilize data historians for time series and historical data analysis. This empowers operators to take preventive actions based on past failures. Quantzig, a leader in big data analytics, provides solutions for detecting equipment failures and enhancing productivity.

A significant Canadian multinational food and beverage manufacturer collaborated with Quantzig to enhance the uptime and reliability of its production machines. The client's objectives included delivering high-quality products, adhering to delivery schedules, improving safety, and reducing maintenance costs. Choosing Quantzig's AI and predictive analytics solutions, the client addressed challenges such as inconsistent product quality, unscheduled downtime, unplanned equipment maintenance, missed production timelines, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

Quantzig formulated a predictive analytics solution utilizing machine learning technologies and data models to identify patterns in machine failure. This facilitated prescriptive maintenance, optimizing the production process and increasing uptime. Real-time operational intelligence (RtOI) and predictive analytics provided insights into potential production roadblocks. This enabled automatic tracking of production, real-time monitoring, shortened response time, machine performance tracking, preventative maintenance, and asset optimization.

Quantzig's predictive analytics solutions resulted in an increased machinery lifespan through predictive maintenance protocols. The outcomes encompassed reduced downtime, adherence to production schedules, lowered maintenance costs, minimized raw material wastage, and mitigated supply chain disruptions. The optimized production process led to heightened revenue and strengthened customer relationships.

Key Achievements of Food Predictive Analytics in the Industry

In a food manufacturing setting, unplanned downtime can result in substantial financial losses and operational inefficiencies. Through collaboration with Quantzig, the client successfully implemented predictive maintenance systems and protocols, ensuring heightened uptime and improved production efficiency.

Significance of Food Predictive Analytics Solutions in the F&B Industry

While cloud-based solutions play a pivotal role in streamlined food and beverage manufacturing, uptime monitoring remains essential for overall operational efficiency, maintenance, and administration. Quantzig's predictive maintenance solutions brought forth numerous benefits, including improved machine lifespan, protection against outages and abnormal supply conditions, reduced downtime, increased production, minimized maintenance costs, and enhanced customer relationships.
