For food & beverage plants

OEE and energy monitoring for food & beverage plants

Hygiene-driven changeovers, cold-chain utilities and energy per unit — measured on the plant you already have.

What does OEE monitoring look like in a food and beverage plant?

It measures the two things that dominate a food plant: changeover and cleaning time, and energy per unit produced. Coneqt reads production and stoppage data from filling, packing and process equipment via a gateway on the existing controls, meters utilities and chillers separately, and reports OEE, reason-coded downtime and energy intensity. Each product is ₹499–1,499 per machine per month.

What a food plant measures

Filling, capping and packing counts and rejects
CIP and changeover duration per SKU
Utility and chiller consumption in kW and kWh
Energy per unit or per litre produced
Process equipment availability
Cold-side asset reliability, MTBF and MTTR

Where food plants find time and money

CIP and changeover

Cleaning is non-negotiable; its duration is not. Measured CIP time per SKU is usually the first recoverable block of hours.

Utilities running empty

Chillers and compressors carrying load through non-production hours, visible only with separate metering.

Energy per litre

The number that survives seasonal volume swings, and the one an energy audit asks for.

Cold-side breakdowns

Preventive schedules and MTBF on the assets whose failure spoils product, not just output.

What does it cost for 12 machines?

List pricing, nothing else. 12 machines on the Professional tier at ₹999 per machine per month, billed monthly with no lock-in. Gateway hardware, where a site needs it, is quoted separately and confirmed in writing before installation.

Worked example, excl. GST
₹11,988 / month
12 machines × ₹999 · Professional tier · ₹1,43,856 over twelve months
Questions

What people in this sector ask first

Is the hardware suitable for washdown areas?

Gateway placement and enclosure rating are decided per area during scoping. We do not put unrated hardware in a washdown zone.

Can we track energy per litre or per pack?

Yes — energy per production unit is part of the Professional tier of Coneqt Energy.

Does it cover utilities as well as production?

Yes. Utilities are treated as assets, which is how chillers and compressors get onto the same board as the filling line.
