Singularity for Food & Beverage

The auditor asks for one lot. Your team starts pulling clipboards.

Your fillers, checkweighers and lab results each hold part of the lot's story. We read them where they sit, and your team runs it on its own screens.

Where food plants lose track

  1. 01 Audits pull your quality team off the floor SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and your HACCP plan all ask for records that should already exist. So every audit cycle, quality stops watching the line and starts rebuilding them.
  2. 02 The lot record breaks between steps Receiving, batching, the pasteurizer, the filler, packaging. If one step logs on paper or in its own system, tracing that lot means pulling binders and calling the shift lead.
  3. 03 Nobody sees the line until the shift report By the time it lands, the yield loss, the allergen cross-contact or the hold backing up the warehouse has already happened.
  4. 04 Every plant tracks the same ingredient its own way Different batch records, different quality forms, different names. Adding a plant multiplies the inconsistency.
  5. 05 A recall gets bigger than it has to If you can't trace one ingredient lot from the supplier to every case and customer, the recall covers every lot you can't rule out.

What we connect in a food plant

  • ERP Orders, due dates and materials, so every batch knows which order it's for.
  • PLCs and SCADA on filling and packaging lines Fill counts, stops and faults as they happen. Every stop gets a time and a reason.
  • Quality and food safety system HACCP checks and holds. A hold is tied to the lots and shifts it touches.
  • LIMS and lab results Test results, read next to the lot they belong to. Nobody chases them down after the fact.
  • Scales and checkweighers Every weight and fill reading kept with the line and the run it came from.
  • Spreadsheets and paper logs The HACCP log on a clipboard and the fill sheet in Excel.

What food plants use the Singularity for

Your Singularity, built for how you work. Pick one of these or all of them, and we set it up around your lines, your HACCP plan and the names your plant already uses.

Audit readiness

One lot’s checks, readings and lab results, already together.

Historian + Form Builder + Integration Hub + Knowledge Library

Every control point check goes on a form at the line, and every fill and checkweigh reading stays with its run. Pull up the run and its checks, readings and lab results are already together, with the procedure cited.

See how it works

1 It connects

  • ERP
  • Quality system
  • Lab results

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. HistorianKeeps every fill and checkweigh reading with its time, line and run.
  2. Form BuilderPuts the CCP check and the HACCP log on a tablet at the control point.
  3. Integration HubReads the ERP, the quality system and lab results, so one lot's story isn't in three places.
  4. Knowledge LibraryHolds the procedure an auditor asks about, cited by page.

3 What you get

  • Lot 4471 record CCP checks signed Checkweigh readings logged Lab result attached

Recurring inspections

Every CCP check and pre-op inspection shows up on time, and gets signed.

Workflow Engine + Form Builder + Notification Center

Set the rule once: every two hours on Line 3, or once a shift for the pre-op check. The check arrives on the tablet when it’s due and is recorded with who did it. A missed one shows as overdue, not as a blank line on the clipboard.

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. Workflow EngineGenerates each check from the rules you set and marks anything overdue.
  2. Form BuilderRecords the check at the control point, with who did it and when.
  3. Notification CenterBrings what needs a person to the bell, by role and by site.

  • Line 3, today Pre-op sanitation CCP 2 temperature, 10:00 CCP 2 temperature, 12:00

Quality monitoring

A fill weight drifts. The lot is held before it ships.

SPC Engine + Auditor + Investigation Engine

The SPC Engine flags a checkweigh reading three sigma out, or eight in a row on one side of the mean. Inside the authority you set, the Auditor opens the hold. Anything outside it waits for your quality manager to decide.

1 It connects

  • Checkweigher
  • Quality system
  • ERP

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. SPC EngineScores each fill reading as it's logged and flags the drift.
  2. AuditorSweeps every 15 minutes and opens the hold inside the authority you set.
  3. Notification CenterPuts the hold on the bell of the people who own the lot.
  4. Authority MatrixSets which holds the Auditor may open alone. The rest wait for a person.
  5. Investigation EnginePicks it up as a case when the drift needs a cause.

3 What you get

  • Fill weight, lot 7731

Equipment uptime

See which line is down, and why, before the Monday meeting.

Historian + OEE Engine

Every stop on your fillers and packaging lines is logged with its time and reason. The OEE Engine shows availability, performance and quality per line, so the meeting starts from the number the floor saw.

See how it works

1 It connects

  • Filler PLC
  • SCADA
  • ERP

2 What runs, and what it does

  1. HistorianTakes machine state, counts and faults as they happen, and keeps every stop with its time and asset.
  2. OEE EngineTurns them into availability, performance and quality, line to site.
  3. Integration HubCarries work orders from the ERP, so each stop is tied to the job it hit.
