Industrial operational intelligence
See what your plant is doing. Understand what it is costing. Act on what matters.
Operational intelligence for food and beverage plants—connecting energy, production, equipment and critical process records from the systems you already have.
Works with existing PLCs, SCADA, historians, meters, and production data. Cloud, hybrid, or deployed with your plant systems. No controls replacement required.

The data is in the plant. The decision is still trapped between systems and people.
Plants contain useful data, but it is fragmented across PLCs, SCADA, historians, meters, spreadsheets, and human expertise.
Visibility alone is useful. Value increases when data is organized around real production and maintenance decisions, so teams can see what changed, what it cost, and what to do next.
Before
- PLC tags
- SCADA screens
- Meter readings
- Historian trends
- Spreadsheets
- Maintenance notes
- Consultant knowledge
After
Connected PlantIQ Operational Model
Signals tied to sites, areas, lines, assets, processes, products, events, KPIs, and actions.
Platform model
Connect → Contextualize → Observe → Understand → Act & Learn
PlantIQ turns fragmented plant data into an operational model that supports decisions, not another siloed dashboard.
- 1
Connect
Ingest signals from PLCs, SCADA, historians, meters, and production systems.
- 2
Contextualize
Map signals onto the real plant: sites, areas, lines, assets, processes, and products.
- 3
Observe
Create live visibility and historical traceability operators and managers can trust.
- 4
Understand
Surface losses, deviations, abnormal behavior, and improvement opportunities.
- 5
Act & Learn
Prioritize actions, track ownership, verify outcomes, and improve the plant model.
The PlantIQ Operational Model connects signals to the real plant: assets, processes, products, events, KPIs, and actions, so every dashboard and recommendation has context.
One operational layer across the plant.
Solutions
Start with the decision that matters most. Expand on the same platform.
Solution families share one operational model, so plants can begin with visibility, compliance records, yield, utilities, reliability, or electrical assets without creating disconnected tools.
Plant Visibility & Traceability
Know what is happening now, and what happened before.
Live plant, line, process, batch, cycle, and equipment views with historical trends and event traceability.
ExploreDigital Compliance & Audit Readiness
Turn critical process data into continuous, audit-ready operational records.
Create continuous, timestamped records from critical plant processes—available for quality reviews, customer audits and export requirements.
Explore compliance and traceabilityProduction Loss & Margin Intelligence
Find where material, time, and capacity become lost margin.
Connect production conditions to yield, waste, giveaway, rejects, downtime, and throughput.
ExploreUtilities & Energy Intelligence
Manage utility cost in the context of production.
Track electricity, gas, steam, water, refrigeration, and compressed air by line, system, product, or output.
ExploreReliability & Asset Intelligence
Prioritize equipment attention with evidence, not alarm volume.
Combine operating data, asset history, plant context, and expert review to identify degradation and recommended checks.
Expert-Enabled Managed IntelligenceExploreElectrical Asset Intelligence
Turn electrical events and asset data into service intelligence.
Monitor transformers, switchgear, protection devices, power-quality meters, breakers, and critical electrical infrastructure.

Expert-Enabled Managed Intelligence
Software keeps watch. Experts help your team decide.
Not every industrial problem can be solved by a threshold or dashboard. PlantIQ can combine continuous data monitoring with scheduled review by qualified maintenance, process, energy, or electrical experts.
Findings are evidence-based, prioritized, assigned, and tracked to outcome.
- Prioritized findings queue
- Weekly or agreed review cadence
- Monthly operating-intelligence review
- Incident deep dives
- Recommendation cards with evidence and confidence
- Action register with owner and status
- Savings, reliability, or performance verification
- Reusable asset and process playbooks
Operating loop
Continuous monitoring, strengthened by expert judgment
Expert-Enabled Managed Intelligence combines persistent software visibility with scheduled specialist review and an accountable action loop.
- 1.Connect and contextualize
- 2.Monitor continuously
- 3.Surface meaningful change
- 4.Expert review
- 5.Recommend and prioritize
- 6.Plant decision and execution
- 7.Verify and learn
