Serving Up Smart Solutions for Food and Beverage Companies

As product mix and product changes continue to increase, you must be ever more nimble. You must be able to switch quickly between one product and another, and easily accommodate a variety of batch sizes. At the same time, you’re pressed to keep inventories low and to provide bullet-proof auditing data.

Avid Solutions helps food and beverage manufacturers to operate with the flexibility, quality assurance, and cost effectiveness they need to stay ahead of the competition. We can make sure your information systems are integrated with the shop floor, and that recipe, order, quality, inventory, and scheduling information is accurate, timely, and immediately accessible.  

We understand your regulatory requirements.  Our business and software solutions will help you ensure that quality procedures are in place and enforced.  We can make sure that your product genealogies are robust and product production audit trails are rock solid and easy to produce.   Product recalls and returns risks can be minimized by targeting product based on lots instead of production time periods, getting you closer to farm to fork traceability and making your suppliers accountable.

We can improve your production performance.  Our knowledge of OEE and Process Improvement methods and technologies can get you Lean and efficient without giving up the process and quality data that keeps you improving and moving forward.

We understand your production goals.  Our knowledge of production processes can help you reduce unit costs, reduce time to market, reduce product changeovers, and move from a push system in building to inventory to a pull system in production order fulfillment.

We can work with your legacy equipment. Upgrading to meet current needs doesn’t have to be disruptive. We will leave your equipment in place, measure it, and pull out the data we need to get your controls up to speed. 

We will help uncover your opportunities. Broad and deep experience enables us to see where you may have opportunities for efficiency and streamlining.  We will keep your business goals top of mind in any work we do with you.

"Avid did a very good job of tying in the data flow from the machine level to enterprise level. They gave us a great overall picture of how to manage and implement the system and offered additional opportunities to optimize the Database system. We felt we built a system that our operators can really use. We realized tons of value from this project. The deliverables and outcome of the project were far beyond our expectations. "
