Savor the Flavor of Food & Beverage Automation

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has opened up new possibilities for businesses in the food and beverage industry. But without the right support, incorporating these cutting-edge technologies into your existing systems might feel like biting off more than you can chew.

That’s where Vertech comes in. We develop custom MES and SCADA solutions for distillers, brewers, producers of dairy and dairy alternatives, co-packers, and more to modernize and digitize their existing systems.

Whether you’re looking to optimize production, improve data accessibility, ensure product consistency, or increase traceability, our experts are here to put automation on the menu.

Serving Up Real-Time Insights & Process Control

Inventory & Traceability

With our track & trace and product genealogy solutions, you can increase production transparency, monitor material usage and yields, and map the path materials take throughout the production process. Better visibility tastes sweet!

Efficiency & Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Craving efficiency? By closely monitoring KPIs, Vertech can help you identify opportunities for workflow adjustments, network improvements, and more, so you can get more out of your existing assets. We also implement systems that identify the best time to perform preventative maintenance so your equipment works better for longer.

Process Automation (SCADA)

Manual processes leaving a bad taste in your mouth? From programming individual devices and PLCs to ensuring safe and secure integration between the plant floor and the enterprise, we offer comprehensive, platform-agnostic automation solutions.

ISA-88-Compliant Batch Management

Our batch management solutions integrate with existing equipment and software to ensure consistent product quality. Plus, we separate the code from the manufacturing process so operators can quickly configure the entire line using pre-saved configurations. It’s a recipe for success.

“Before the system was implemented, we relied on paperwork to track everything. I now have records of everything that goes on — tank transfers, [start and end] times, weight readings, inventory readings — and I have it all in real time.”

"The operator screens enabled our operators and supervisors to get a quick idea at a glance of generally how the run is going and if you are on track to finish production on time. From the manager screens, I was able to keep an eye on things from my office and see if there is a problem that is going on so I can make needed changes.”
