ZEO has been an excellent tool for making every variable affecting plant efficiency transparent. It has given us real-time visibility.

Sector challenges
Every quality deviation, stoppage and format change affects your production
- Quality checks recorded on paper and difficult to retrieve.
- Raw materials, batches and process data spread across disconnected systems.
- Stoppages and microstoppages on filling, packaging and labelling lines.
- Format changes and cleaning operations taking longer than planned.
- Waste and rejects without a clear link to their production context.
- Production plans that do not reflect what is happening on the shop floor.
Customer stories
Experience from teams working in this sector
Today I see a more mature team with stronger technical capabilities. There is a genuine commitment to excellence.
We achieved a 15% efficiency increase in the labelling area.
We wanted reliable, real data and a detailed understanding of micro-stops, inefficiencies and their causes so we could correct them and improve productivity and quality immediately.
We thought the lines stopped less often than they actually do. We can now see the many stops occurring throughout a shift and understand their causes.
All the information is available in the system so we can run our analyses and improve efficiency.
Operators and managers finally have all the information needed to implement continuous-improvement actions and measure their impact.

Where ZEO helps
What you can control in food and beverage manufacturing
ZEO can work as your MES or as a data capture layer integrated with your existing MES, ERP and production systems.
Product quality and digital checks
Connect quality checks and non-conformities to each product, batch, line and shift. Keep the evidence your teams need for analysis and internal audits.
- Digital quality checks
- Non-conformities and corrective actions
- Batch and product records
- Quality alerts
Batch traceability
Link materials, production orders and process records to understand what happened during each batch and retrieve the relevant information quickly.
- Raw material and finished product traceability
- Batch history
- Production context
- Digital evidence
Process parameters
Record critical parameters and detect deviations during processing, filling and packaging. Bring quality and production data together to investigate variability.
- Process measurements
- Deviation recording
- Statistical process control
- Checks by line and shift
Line performance and OEE
Measure availability, performance and quality on packaging and end-of-line equipment. Identify lost capacity and prioritise improvement with reliable data.
- Automatic OEE
- Stoppages and microstoppages
- Format changes
- Waste and rejects
Order progress and delivery dates
Compare planned output with actual production to identify bottlenecks and orders at risk before the end of the shift.
- Live order progress
- Plan versus actual output
- Capacity visibility
- Deviation alerts
Recommended modules
ZEO modules for quality, efficiency and delivery
Start with quality, OEE, planning or shop-floor data capture according to the operational problem you want to solve first.
ZEO Zero Defects
Connect product quality, process checks and traceability to real production conditions.
- Digital quality checks
- Non-conformities and defects
- Batch and process evidence
- Deviation alerts
ZEO Efficiency OEE
Measure availability, performance and quality to identify the losses affecting your actual capacity.
- Automatic OEE
- Stoppages and microstoppages
- Cycles and changeovers
- Scrap and rejects
ZEO On Time Delivery
Compare the production plan with actual progress to anticipate deviations and coordinate decisions during the shift.
- Order progress
- Plan versus actual output
- Capacity visibility
- Orders at risk
Next step
Start with the production loss or quality record you need to understand
We can review a specific need with your team: digital quality checks, batch traceability, packaging line OEE or order progress. We start with your processes, equipment and existing systems.
