Benefits of Our CPG Software for Manufacturers

Improve Productivity

Manufacturers that use Redzone’s CPG production solutions see significant increases in productivity in just 90 days. This enables them to overcome tight margins and become lowest cost producers.

Increase Line Volume

Redzone’s CPG software solution helps teams increase throughput on long lines by improving equipment reliability and activating operator care across the facility.

Reduce Spoilage and Downtime

Dramatically shorten changeovers and other planned downtime to reduce spoilage risks for materials that are sensitive to environmental inconsistencies.

Continuous Improvement with Action Management

Redzone’s CPG business intelligence software helps manufacturers become more action-oriented with action management and kaizen events to eliminate challenging issues that continuously drain productivity.

Better Waste Management

More easily manage expensive raw materials with statistical process control (SPC) and out-of-the-box analytics to reduce waste and giveaway for baked goods.

Digitize Audits for Enhanced Food Safety

Improve food safety and compliance by digitizing paper-based processes for quicker, more impactful audits.

Minimize Environmental Risks

Utilize CPG software to minimize IT burden and environmental risks with secure cloud technology and off-the-shelf automation.


Features of Redzone’s CPG Software

Redzone’s CPG software is built with a specific set of features to address the unique needs of consumer packaged goods manufacturers.

Real-time Production Monitoring

Gain a comprehensive, live view of manufacturing operations.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Tracking

Automatically collect and analyze data to benchmark and improve equipment performance. Operators have a clear view of “red” and “green” shifts.

Equipment Reliability

Asset-specific downtime tracking and dashboards create shared visibility. Cumulative downtime tracked by run, line, shift, month, and more, gives a line of sight into top recurring losses.

Integrated Action Management

A built-in system to track, manage, and resolve production issues and continuous improvement projects.

Digital Audit & Compliance Tools

Digitize audit processes to replace paper-based systems, ensuring full compliance and improving product quality and safety.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) & Analytics

Use real-time data to monitor product quality characteristics, reducing giveaway and ensuring the product is within ideal ranges.

System Integrations

Connect with existing ERP, MES, and CMMS to unify operations.

Cloud-Based Platform

A secure, off-the-shelf cloud solution that minimizes IT burden and simplifies deployment.

AI in Manufacturing

Champion AI enables teams to leverage their data, knowledge, and integrated systems with agentic AI that predicts outcomes and prescribes actions.

Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Manufacturers in the Redzone Community

How Our CPG Software Improves OEE and Productivity

To assess the effectiveness of the Redzone Connected Workforce Solution, a benchmark study is conducted against the Redzone 90-Day productivity program every other year. The analysis compares baseline Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to the resulting OEE uplift after 90 days and presents the resulting productivity improvement.

All Redzone community members demonstrate OEE uplifts in 90 days. Sophisticated, global manufacturers can expect double-digit increases while smaller, less mature plants enjoy >30% OEE uplifts.

The average 12% OEE uplift with an associated 22% productivity improvement across the entire sample means that users can enjoy additional capacity without adding resources or reduce costs without increasing output.

Perhaps the most impactful—but immeasurable—outcome has been the cultural phenomenon that resulted from improved communication across the plants considered in this study.

By using our consumer packaged goods software, manufacturers can experience the benefits of improved communication and collaboration among employees, leading to a more engaged workforce and, ultimately, better CPG production.

CPG Manufacturing Software Integrations

Optimizing equipment performance and efficiency is a key goal for CPG manufacturers. Redzone’s CPG software solutions can help improve OEE by integrating with a variety of software systems, including:

  • Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
  • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
  • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

By integrating with CMMS, Redzone can provide real-time monitoring of recruitment performance and maintenance needs, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing downtime. This drives OEE improvement by reducing the number of unplanned stops and breakdowns.

Integration with ERP systems allows for the collection of real-time production data, which can be used to optimize production scheduling and inventory management. This can lead to improved production efficiency and reduced waste.

MES integration supports real-time tracking of production processes, enabling manufacturers to identify and address bottlenecks in the production line. This can improve production flow and increase output.
