The Challenge

AMPI needed to digitize quality checks, gain visibility into overpack issues, and improve OEE across their food processing lines — all while maintaining compliance with strict food safety requirements.

The Solution

AMPI implemented 10in6's Digital Quality System alongside the MES module. Quality checks moved from paper to touch-screen consoles, and for the first time, management had a real-time view of overpack data by line and operator.

Results

  • OEE improved 15% in the first 6 months
  • Hundreds of thousands of dollars saved by eliminating overpack
  • Labels now printed at the line in real time — label errors eliminated
  • Automated shift reports keep management informed without walking the floor

"After moving quality checks to 10in6, it was the first time we had a good view of overpack. This one change has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings."

— Bill Swan, Division Manager

"Labels are now printed right at the line in real-time, including a date/time stamp. This has eliminated the risk of using incorrect labels."

— Joey Vogel, Production Manager
