Smart Manufacturing for Food & Beverage: Quality, Compliance, & Efficiency
In the Food & Beverage (F&B) industry, the margin for error is razor-thin. Between fluctuating commodity prices, strict FSMA 204 traceability mandates, and the high cost of unplanned downtime, your digital infrastructure is your most important ingredient.
INFRASI provides a unified technology stack that secures your production lines, automates your compliance data, and ensures your facility operates at peak efficiency.
Our F&B Solution Framework
We help manufacturers move from reactive maintenance to a data-driven "Smart Factory" model using a mix of Hardware, Software, and Managed Services.
1. Industrial IoT & Cold Chain Integrity
Prevent spoilage and ensure product consistency with real-time environmental monitoring.
- IoT Hardware: Wireless sensors for Temperature, Humidity, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in storage and processing areas; Fill-level sensors for bulk ingredients.
- The Benefit: Automated logging for FSMA/HACCP compliance and instant alerts if a refrigeration unit or oven fluctuates outside of safety parameters.
2. Predictive Maintenance & Vibration Monitoring
Unplanned downtime on a bottling or packaging line can cost thousands per hour.
- IoT Hardware: Vibration and acoustic sensors for motors, conveyors, and pumps.
- The Benefit: Detect early signs of bearing failure or misalignment. Our systems alert you to service equipment before it breaks, extending the life of your primary hardware.
3. Secure Connectivity & Network Segmentation
Protect your Operational Technology (OT) from cyber threats while enabling remote monitoring.
- Hardware: Industrial-grade Network Switches, Firewalls with Deep Packet Inspection, and High-Density Wi-Fi.
- The Benefit: We segment your network so that office traffic (M365/Google Workspace) never interferes with your PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) data, protecting your production line from external vulnerabilities.
4. Identity & Traceability Software
Meet the rigorous FSMA 204 requirements for rapid data sharing and record-keeping.
- Software: JumpCloud for secure floor-manager authentication and managing ruggedized tablets used for inventory scanning.
- The Benefit: Centralized control over who can access recipe data or production logs, with an audit trail that proves compliance during FDA or third-party inspections.
Meeting the Traceability Standard
With the FDA's enhanced focus on traceability lot codes (TLCs), manual logbooks are a liability. Our Professional Services include:
- Traceability Assessment: Mapping your "Critical Tracking Events" (CTEs) to ensure your hardware captures the right data at the right time.
- Custom SOW: Integration of IoT sensor data directly into your ERP or CMMS for "one-touch" compliance reporting.
The Implementation Roadmap
- Planning: Discovery of your production environment and compliance needs.
- Smart Start (Pilot): Deploying sensors and connectivity on a single production line to validate data accuracy.
- Optimization: Tuning alert thresholds to prevent "alert fatigue" for your maintenance team.
- Phased Rollout: Full-facility deployment, scheduled during planned maintenance windows to avoid production stops.
- Solution Handoff: Delivery of your Digital Source of Truth and transition to proactive Success Management.
The INFRASI Advantage
We understand that food safety is non-negotiable. By bundling your Managed UPS with your Managed IoT, we ensure that even during a power flicker, your compliance data remains intact and your sensors stay online.
