Food Industry: Produce Better Without Waste (or Slowdowns)

In the food industry, every minute counts… and every mistake is costly.

Fast-paced lines, perishable products, strict regulations, frequent audits, and constant cost pressure: this is your daily reality. You need to produce fast, well, without waste, and without incidents. But how do you achieve this without overloading processes or stressing your teams?

 

The answer lies in two words: clear vision.

 

And this is exactly what KEYPROD provides: real-time monitoring that is simple, visual, and designed for the realities of the shop floor.

 

The specific challenges of the food industry

Our clients in the food sector often share the same challenges:

 

⚙️ High production rates with little room for micro-stoppages
🧃 Costly, often invisible material waste
📆 Frequent recipe or batch changes, with risks of error
✅ Mandatory full traceability, often difficult to consolidate
📉 OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) estimated but rarely accurate… due to a lack of automated measurement

 

These challenges are far from trivial: they weigh heavily on the sector’s competitiveness and sustainability.

 

According to ADEME, the food industry accounts for 25% of all food waste in France. Each year, 10 million tons of food are lost — that’s 18% of production, representing a theoretical value of €16 billion and 15 million tons of CO₂ emitted.

The real problem: a blurred view of what’s really happening

➡️ When a machine slows down, it’s often not seen until the end of the day.
➡️ When material loss is identified, it’s already too late.
➡️ When OEE looks “good enough,” real improvement levers are not explored.
➡️ And during an audit… everyone crosses their fingers hoping everything matches up.

What’s missing? Reliable, real-time data, directly from your machines.

 

How KEYPROD adapts to the food industry

KEYPROD was designed for fast-paced, regulated, and sensitive environments like food production.

In this sector, where the slightest drift in speed, quality, or traceability can have major economic and sanitary consequences, teams cannot afford to waste time with heavy systems or unreliable tracking.

That’s why KEYPROD integrates directly into the shop floor, with a simple, non-intrusive, plug-and-play technology that captures what’s really happening on your lines in real time.

 

It’s a tool built to:

  • Adapt to high speeds without disrupting production,

  • Comply with strict traceability and audit standards,

  • Detect invisible waste (micro-stoppages, material overuse, slowdowns),

  • Give teams immediate visibility, without waiting until the end of a batch or processing Excel files,

  • Automatically measure the real OEE (not an estimate), to track performance by line and product, and pinpoint improvement levers,

  • And most importantly, provide reliable, time-stamped data to support real-time decisions.

👉 But KEYPROD goes further. Thanks to stored data and trend visualization, your teams can move beyond simple reaction into a true continuous improvement approach:

  • Identify recurring causes of stoppages or losses,

  • Compare performance across lines, products, or teams,

  • Implement targeted corrective actions,

  • Objectively measure their effectiveness over time.

In short, KEYPROD is not just another monitoring software. It’s a true operational companion, helping your teams produce faster, better, without waste, and without compromising on quality or compliance — while building measurable, sustainable performance.

 

What you gain with better shop floor visibility

✔️ Less waste
✔️ Less stress during audits (with reliable, time-stamped data)
✔️ Measurable and demonstrable performance
✔️ More autonomous, more reactive teams
✔️ Visible ROI, without waiting six months

 


 

In the food industry, there is no room for error.
But you can achieve performance gains without sacrificing quality or compliance.

With KEYPROD, you control your production in real time, cut down on losses, and align your teams around clear and reliable data.

 

👉 Ready to produce cleaner, smoother, and with peace of mind?
