Production Scheduling

Balancing hundreds of SKUs across multiple lines is complex. KFactory's AI scheduler optimizes run sequences to minimize changeovers and maximize throughput.

⚙

Packaging Line Efficiency

Packaging lines are often the bottleneck. KFactory monitors every station in real time to identify micro-stops, speed losses, and quality rejects instantly.

📈

Demand Variability

Promotions, seasons, and trends create demand spikes. KFactory connects demand signals directly to production planning for responsive manufacturing.

Built for
high-velocity consumer goods

KFactory integrates with your ERP, MES, WMS and retail trading partners to deliver one intelligence layer across CPG operations - five modules that take packaged goods from demand signal to shelf-ready output.

01

Connect

Bridge fillers, cappers, labelers, palletizers and mixers into a single data backbone. KFactory speaks every industrial protocol and syncs bi-directionally with ERP, MES, WMS and retail EDI portals so every SKU, batch and shipment shares one source of truth.

IoT Integration

Plug into fillers, cappers, labelers, mixers, depalletizers and cold-chain sensors via OPC UA, PROFINET, Modbus and MQTT. Edge gateways deploy in days - no production downtime.

IT System Integration

Two-way sync with SAP, Infor M3, Oracle and JDE ERPs, MES, WMS, TMS and retail EDI / B2B portals. Demand, stock, batch and shipment data unified across plant and trading partners.

02

Plan

Forecast demand at SKU-location, sequence runs to crush changeovers, optimize raw and packaging inventory, and score every supplier and co-packer in one model. Replace spreadsheets with explainable AI plans your S&OP, planners and procurement teams actually trust.

Forecast Demand with AI

Fuse retail POS, syndicated panel, promo calendar, weather and e-commerce signals into SKU-location forecasts that handle peaks, promos and new launches.

Explore
Production Scheduling

Sequence runs to minimize changeovers, respect allergen rules, family-group SKUs and honour OTIF commitments - optimal plans across all lines in under 30 seconds.

Explore
Purchasing & Inventory

Right-size raw materials, ingredients and packaging components. Dynamic safety-stock and reorder points tuned to lead-time and shelf-life realities.

Explore
Supplier Performance

Score ingredient, packaging and co-packer partners on OTIF, fill rate, lead-time variance and quality - and re-allocate volume to the best performers.

Explore
03

Operate

Run every shift with real-time visibility across fillers, cappers, palletizers and mixers. Micro-stops, allergen sequence, batch genealogy and operator know-how are tracked automatically - no more end-of-shift reconciliation, no more recall headaches.

Production

Real-time OEE, micro-stop analysis, speed losses and SKU run-rate on every packaging and process line - with automatic deviation logging.

Explore
Asset Maintenance

Predict filler, capper, mixer and depalletizer failures up to 72 hours ahead via vibration, temperature and current signature analysis.

Explore
Quality

HACCP, allergen control, in-line SPC and electronic batch records aligned to FSSC 22000, BRCGS and FSMA - recall-ready in real time.

Explore
Continuous Improvement

Run Kaizen, SMED and 5S loops across plants with AI-assisted root cause discovery for chronic micro-stops and changeover losses.

Explore
Knowledge Management

Capture line-setup playbooks, changeover SMED routines and operator know-how in searchable runbooks before retiring specialists walk it out the door.

Explore
Vision Applications

Edge AI vision verifies fill levels, cap presence, label position, date / lot codes and packaging integrity at line speed with 99 %+ accuracy.
