Industries
The problems differ by sector. So does what pays back first.
Pharmaceuticals
Paper batch records that slow release, SFDA and JFDA traceability and serialization requirements, and constant audit pressure.
Where I usually start
- Serialization and aggregation, Level 1 to Level 4
- EBR and eQMS with audit trail and e-signatures
- Packaging lines linked to ERP and regulator systems
Food and beverage
Short shelf life, FEFO, recalls that need fast traceability, and fast lines that rely on visual checks.
Where I usually start
- Smart warehousing with FEFO and lot tracking
- Vision inspection of labels and dates
- OEE measurement on filling lines
Building materials
High volumes, tight margins, quality that depends on mix recipes, and production reported by hand.
Where I usually start
- SIRI assessment and a phased roadmap
- Real-time production and downtime tracking
- Electronic batch records aligned with ISO requirements
FMCG and chemicals
Many lines and SKUs, frequent changeovers, and stock spread between plant and warehouses.
Where I usually start
- MES for production planning and tracking
- ERP, MES and WMS integration
- Daily KPIs used in shift meetings
Not sure where to start?
A 30-minute call is usually enough to tell whether you need an assessment, a system, or neither yet.
