Keep up
with demand

Stay on schedule and meet increased customer demand.

Every small delay adds-up leading to less product being made. Discover when and where stops are occurring and stay on track with the daily production schedule – keeping customers happy.

Fix packaging line inefficiencies

Bring packaging up to speed.

Are the dairy packaging lines holding you back? Even if you’ve invested heavily to increase yield, refine your blend, and expand storage, you can’t sell product that you cannot package in time.

Backed up by metrics you can trust

Let the numbers do the talking when something is not right.

When a line is not running right on the floor – even a slight change in the pitch, tune, or rhythm can mean lost time. Accurate, real-time metrics and continual tracking keep operations is harmony.

Drive workplace performance

Encourage accountability, self-management, and continual improvement.

With a performance monitoring tool in place, the whole team can see the hard numbers behind issues — like exactly how many dollars per minute it costs when not producing. This empowers the team and can even create some friendly competition.

“We have a central palletising area that services all our milk production lines – this is the heartbeat of our production where any downtime is felt across the entire business. OFS showed us precisely how many total lost hours could be attributed to issues in the area, justifying the business case for vital improvement projects. These projects led to a 70% reduction across all production lines.”

“We couldn’t keep up with customer demand and were behind by over 30 tonnes of butter every week. We even considered a multi-million-dollar investment for a new line just to keep pace because we couldn’t identify or quantify the inefficiencies we knew were there. OFS installed its line monitoring solution and within days showed us the issues were mainly in the tub feeder and foil applicator. Fixing this was a fraction of the cost of a new line and delivered a 35% increase in throughput, which improved our customer relationships.”

“Our top priority for production improvement was our print lines, which package a range of 250g to 1kg blocks of chees. The OFS software quickly analysed our historical data, mapped the biggest causes of lost time, speed, and waste, establishing a performance baseline for print lines and becoming a fundamental data tool for the business. Over just an eight-month period, we increased speed by 9%, reduced downtime by 5%, and lowered waste by 1%.”
