Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Keeping product flowing while staying on top of quality checks, process monitoring, and traceability isn't easy — especially when your current system involves paper forms, manual data entry, and end-of-shift scrambles to find records.
Where complexity builds up
Scheduled checks on paper create gaps — missed signatures, incomplete records, and after-the-fact catch-up when an auditor or customer requests documentation.
CCPs and weight checks need to be monitored in real time, not just recorded after the fact. Paper or spreadsheet-based monitoring creates lag between a deviation and a response.
When product or format changes, the setup needs to be verified before production starts. Without a structured digital workflow, this relies on memory and verbal confirmation.
When a recall scenario or regulatory inquiry occurs, the ability to trace material through the line quickly is critical. Fragmented paper records make this far harder than it needs to be.
Quality compliance without slowing the line
10in6 is deployed at food and beverage manufacturers across North America, including AMPI and Heritage Coffee. The platform replaces paper-based quality programs with digital checks and SPC monitoring, builds a traceable lot record through the line, and gives production teams the schedule and OEE visibility they need to hit throughput targets.
- Digital quality checks — scheduled checks with electronic sign-off, timestamps, and alert escalation
- SPC for critical control points — real-time control charts with out-of-spec alerts on CCPs and weight checks
- Lot traceability — link raw material lots to finished goods through every production step
- Schedule management — production scheduling with sequence visibility and changeover planning
- Changeover verification — digital setup workflows before production resumes after a changeover
- OEE and production reporting — output and efficiency by line, by shift, automatically
Saved annually by eliminating overpack losses through paperless quality monitoring

Electronic records built for audits
Every quality check, SPC reading, and traceability event is stored with timestamps and user attribution. When an auditor or customer asks, the records are organized and retrievable immediately.
SPC that actually monitors in real time
10in6 SPC doesn't just log data — it alerts the right people when a process variable goes out of control limits, so problems are addressed before they become product quality events.
Configures to your quality program
Check frequencies, parameter limits, escalation paths, and traceability requirements are configured to match how your quality program actually works — not a generic food safety template.

Common questions from food & beverage manufacturers
- How does 10in6 support FSMA, SQF, and BRCGS programs?
- 10in6 provides the digital recordkeeping layer these programs draw on — scheduled quality checks with electronic sign-off, SPC monitoring for critical control points, lot traceability, and a searchable history of every result. Audit and certification conclusions remain with your auditors and certification bodies; 10in6 makes the evidence complete, current, and retrievable in minutes instead of days of paper searching.
- Can 10in6 track giveaway and overpack in real time?
- Yes. Product weight checks feed real-time alerts, so operators adjust the moment fill weights drift — instead of discovering overpack after the shift is over. AMPI, the largest cheese cooperative in the U.S., saved over $100,000 by eliminating overpack with exactly this workflow.
- Does 10in6 provide lot traceability through production?
- Yes — lot-level traceability links raw material lots through each production step to finished product, with timestamps, operators, and quality check results attached. Recall investigations and customer inquiries that used to mean hours of digging through paper resolve in minutes.
- What happens when a quality check is missed or a result is out of spec?
- 10in6 alerts supervisors when a check is overdue and escalates out-of-spec results by Andon board, email, or SMS the moment they're entered — so issues are contained during the shift rather than discovered in an end-of-day paper review.
