Food Manufacturing Industry
Centura22 helps food manufacturers meet regulatory requirements, consumer expectations, and maintain operational efficiency.
Centura22 connects production, maintenance, laboratory and frontline execution data, so a traceability question takes hours rather than days - and the answer narrows the recall rather than widening it. Changeover verification is recorded as it happens. In-process results are checked against specification while product is still in the plant.
In Australia, undeclared allergens have been the leading cause of food recalls for five consecutive years. Most telling is how they surface: customer complaints are the most common detection method (FSANZ, April 2026). A recall triggered by a consumer is one your own controls did not catch.
Detection is not the only place control slips. OEE losses and unplanned stoppages often trace to the same root as a quality event - deferred maintenance, an ageing backlog, or a line run past a due inspection because the schedule was tight.
Many food manufacturing facilities rely on fragmented systems manual records, spreadsheets, standalone lab systems which can delay decision-making and increase risk.

If customer complaints are your most common detection method, the improvement opportunity is internal detection, not response
Centura22 solutions:
LIMS and MES surface in-process results against specification while the product is still in the plant
An open action from a previous audit is the most damaging finding available, because it shows the system does not work
Centura22 solutions:
FMS tracks corrective actions to closure with owner, date and evidence
Improvement claims collapse without an agreed before-state
Centura22 solutions:
MES provides continuous throughput, downtime and OEE records
Individual deviations get investigated; the pattern across months does not
Centura22 solutions:
ChatPlant AI surfaces recurring deviations and trends across site data
Changeover is downtime, but shortcuts here create allergen risk
Centura22 solutions:
FMS structures the changeover so gains come from sequencing rather than skipped checks
Test results are used to release product and then filed
Centura22 solutions:
LIMS ties results to batches so quality data becomes analyzable
Consistent crew-to-crew differences on the same line are free improvement
Centura22 solutions:
FMS standardizes procedures; VPP trains crews to the improved method
Regression once attention moves on is the common CI failure
Centura22 solutions:
MES and FMS keep the improved standard visible and monitored
Centura22 ensures compliance, quality, and operational excellence in food manufacturing. Digitize workflows, reduce downtime, and improve product consistency across all lines.
