Consumer packaged goods

From filling line to shelf: AI that keeps consumer packaged goods production running

High-speed lines, SKU proliferation, and thin margins leave no room for generic AI that needs months to learn your process. IRIS Foundry arrives pre-trained on consumer packaged goods manufacturing, connecting SCADA, MES, and ERP data across filling, packaging, and quality systems, so your team moves from raw signal to corrective action in weeks, not quarters.

AI solutions built for every step of consumer packaged goods production

IRIS Foundry connects the systems already running your plant, IRIS Forge turns a prompt into a working app, and IRIS Flows orchestrates the agents that keep filling, packaging, and quality lines in sync, moving CPG manufacturers from pilot to production in weeks.

Where consumer packaged goods manufacturers lose margin

High-speed lines, constant changeovers, and rising input costs make small inefficiencies expensive fast.

Yellow icon of a speedometer, representing line speed.

High-speed line changeovers and micro-stoppages

Every changeover and micro-stoppage across filling, seaming, and packaging lines chips away at overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Yellow icon of a square inspection frame with a magnifier, representing visual inspection.

Packaging and seaming quality defects

Case packers, seamers, and fillers drift out of spec gradually, and a run can be at risk before the defect ever reaches inspection.

Yellow icon of a thermometer, representing temperature control.

Formulation and thermal process variability

Pasteurization, carbonation, and mixing conditions shift with feedstock and ambient changes, and manual adjustment lags the process.

Yellow icon of stacked storage boxes, representing product variants.

Private label and SKU proliferation

More brands, package sizes, and formulations running through the same lines multiply the ways a run can go wrong.

Yellow icon of a delivery truck, representing supply chain.

Supply chain and tariff volatility

Shifting input costs, tariffs, and co-manufacturer capacity make demand and supply planning a moving target.

Orange network icon with one central circle connected to five smaller circles evenly spaced around it, representing nodes or connections.

Fragmented plant data across sites and systems

SCADA, MES, and quality data sit in separate systems at every plant, so a corporate view of performance takes weeks to assemble, not minutes.

AI outcomes in production, not in demos

12 weeks

Typical time to first production value with IRIS Foundry, versus 12 to 24 months for build-your-own approaches.

Predictive asset intelligence

Machine health and remaining useful life across filling, seaming, and packaging equipment, so maintenance happens before a line goes down.

AI vision for packaging and seaming quality

Real-time defect detection on case packers and seaming systems catches drift before a run is compromised.

CIP/SIP cleaning cycle optimization

Automated cleaning-in-place and sterilizing-in-place cycles cut chemical consumption and downtime between runs.

White icon of a thermometer, representing temperature control.

Thermal process stability and quality optimization

AI control keeps pasteurization and carbonation within spec as feedstock and line conditions shift.
