As a leading European food manufacturer, TRIOVEGA’s partner operates in the highly demanding FMCG sector – traditionally a fast-moving industry with tight margins and high regulatory requirements.

The key challenges at a glance:

Rising production costs
Soaring energy and raw material prices are placing considerable strain on the food industry. At the same time, demand is falling due to inflation. It is more important than ever to use energy and raw materials as efficiently as possible.

Highly complex production
In the FMCG sector, companies are dealing with a wide variety of products, dynamic consumer preferences, and short-lived trends. Flexibility on the shop floor is paramount.

Integration of Industry 4.0
In today’s world, digital production is essential. It creates the foundation for increased efficiency, quality, and speed. However, IT integration is demanding due to the diverse production lines, inconsistent standards, and emerging cyber risks. OT security is becoming a key challenge.

For our innovative customer, the path forward is clear.
Digitalization is the best foundation for automated and optimized production. TRIOVEGA’s Custom Software Solutions team has been supporting the food manufacturer as a software partner since 2012. Using our extensive industry expertise, we worked closely with our customer to address the challenges of the complex production environment.

The Production Automation Manager software is the core of the collaboration.
It combines individual automation processes into a single integrated system that is continuously extended to gradually automate larger parts of the production process, enabling efficiency gains.

As embedded software, PAM runs directly on the systems.
Specially developed middleware harmonizes the inconsistent standards of the machines and connects to various software interfaces, to collect and transmit relevant data.

The ongoing development of production automation has achieved measurable results.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness significantly increased: several tons more product was manufactured daily

Setup times for changes of order reduced from 10-15 minutes to just a few seconds

85% reduction in faulty product inspections due to incorrect labelling

The entire system will be extended in cooperation with TRIOVEGA. Extended production monitoring is the foundation for predictive maintenance and further optimizations, for example, energy savings, using data science.
