PalletWorks® Helps a Large Cheese Manufacturer Solve End-of-Line Errors

PalletWorks, a fully-integrated tracking and labeling software solution from Cybertrol, helped a large cheese manufacturer solve costly end-of-line errors occurring during the transfer of data from the plant floor to the ERP system. The PalletWorks web portal empowers factory floor associates to see the data and correct labeling mistakes before they are transferred to the ERP system, often avoiding loss of product and unplanned downtime. PalletWorks is a unique and creative integrated solution, a bridge between the ERP and PLC on the plant floor.

Manufacturing Intelligence (MI) Solutions

Cybertrol's Manufacturing Intelligence group includes software engineers that provide visibility into the control system through data visibility via reports, dashboards, web pages, or other methods. Our engineers can also provide the ability to connect into ERP systems for advanced integration into the business system when recipe and formulation connections to the plant floor are required. Having a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that can tie into the control system to track and report on production uptime, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), quality, or other production related data can be extremely valuable to an operation.
