CDC Factory Food and Beverage Solutions

CDC Factory is an enterprise-grade packaged application for manufacturing operations management that delivers real-time OEE, finite scheduling, supplier collaboration, quality assurance and rapid maintenance response for process-intensive producers.

CDC Factory unlocks available hidden capacity on the factory floor by managing production planning in real-time and recording results of all activities in terms of rate, yield, utilization, and unit cost. This information is presented in a timely and relevant format to factory workers to stimulate accountability and immediate action.

Why is CDC Factory Unique?

• Packaged Software:  CDC Factory is a packaged software application, designed for the specific needs of food and beverage, CPG and pharmaceutical packaging companies. It is ready to go, out of the box. CDC Factory includes sequencing strategies, metrics such as plan attainment, OEE and cost per-unit as well as standardized continuous improvement, lean Six Sigma tools. Compared to typical MES implementations that require lengthy consulting and customization projects, CDC Factory generates positive results, much faster.
• Unified Factory Floor Solution:  With CDC Factory, you can eliminate the need for disconnected spreadsheets, MES, Historian and Automation point-solutions that require lengthy and expensive consulting projects to build, integrate and maintain. CDC Factory works with a broad variety of leading ERP applications and can unite all disparate shop floor solutions under one packaged, real-time application.
• Role-Based:  Designed around specific manufacturing roles from the factory floor to the executive office, CDC Factory serves up the right intelligence, in the right format at the right time to drive action at every level
• Risk-Free Factory Performance Audit and Benchmark:  Because CFC Factory is a packaged software application, you can evaluate the system with your data in your environment in a streamlined 3-day review session working with our solution experts. The review provides a benchmark of your factory's performance and during the end of the session, you will identify previously hidden performance issues, outline corrective actions and quantify the results of changes.
