Snacks
Fast frying or baking, seasoning and packaging lines where weight and pace decide the margin.

On a snack line volume is high and losses are small but constant: bag overfill, packer stops, uneven seasoning. Autech can measure the real pace of each stage and give management a clear view of where output is lost.
Where it usually hurts
Typical problems in this industry, at the stage where they appear. Pick one.
Modified-atmosphere packaging
Frequent packer stops
The packer stops many times per shift and each stop holds up the line. Recording every stop with its cause shows which ones cost the most time.
How we approach it
Downtime and OEE
Every stop with its time, duration and cause, and an OEE you can explain.
See the solution →What you need to be able to prove
- Weight per bag and weigher deviations
- Allergens and flavour changeovers
- Lot per case and pallet
What we'd ask you
- How many times does the packer stop in a shift, and who writes down why?
- When the line runs below target, who finds out first?
- Which loss would you like to see first in a single report?
