Bulk and extrusion room tracking
Monitor incidents and throughput via scales in mixing and extrusion rooms.
Pet Food
The same rigor as human food, built for pet food production.
Pet food manufacturers face many of the same food safety and traceability requirements as human food, at similar production speeds. Essembi keeps both under control.
Where Essembi Pays Off
Where Essembi pays off on your pet food floor.
The specific ways pet food manufacturers put Essembi to work, from mixing to the packaging line.
Packaging tracking
See real time packaging line performance as it happens.
In process quality checks
Complete key process checks at the start of the job and at regular intervals, validating moisture, kibble size, labels, and lot codes.
Scan to confirm correct issuing material
Scan incoming ingredients or components to confirm they belong on this job before production starts.
Multi process production scheduling
Keep jobs in sync from mixing to extrusion to drying to packaging, and easily push back production on delayed jobs.
Real time performance monitoring
Track production performance live across every step of the process.
Before Essembi
Extrusion and drying running below rate, unnoticed
A slow extruder or an inconsistent dryer costs you throughput all shift long, but without real time performance data it just looks like a normal day until the numbers come in short.
With Essembi
Real time rate, so slow runs get caught mid shift
Essembi tracks extrusion, drying, and packaging performance live, so a line running below rate gets flagged and fixed while there is still time to save the shift.
Everything Included
Every capability, included, down to the details.
No add-on modules, no separate logins, and no ceiling to grow into — every plan includes the full platform.
Production
- OEE Tracking Real time availability, performance, and quality by line, shift, and job.
- Production Scheduling One calendar for jobs, changeovers, and maintenance, not three disconnected systems.
- Unlimited Sensors on the Line A sensor after every key machine, not the one or two most platforms limit you to.
- Machine & PLC Integration Pull data directly from the equipment you already have on the floor.
- Bulk Scale Weight Capture Track bulk production rooms through connected scales, not a clipboard.
- Scan to Confirm Material Scan incoming material or components to confirm they belong on the job before production starts.
- Changeover & Centerlining Set and hold consistent machine set points by product and line, and track changeover time by job.
- Automatic Downtime Capture Stops are logged and associated with the right component automatically, no manual entry required.
Quality & Safety
- Customizable Quality Forms Build the exact in process checks your product and process require.
- CAPA & Corrective Actions Structured corrective action from root cause to verification, tracked to closure.
- Digital Batch Records An accurate, timestamped record of the process as it actually happened.
- Safety Incident & Near-Miss Tracking Capture incidents and near-misses in the same platform as production and quality.
Maintenance
- Work Order Management Create, assign, and track work orders from any device on the floor.
- Preventive & Corrective Maintenance Scheduled PMs and reactive repairs, tied to the assets that need them.
- Asset Health Tracking MTTR, MTBF, and maintenance cost by asset, not buried in a spreadsheet.
Workforce
- RFID Labor Tracking Badge on, badge off labor costing by job and formula, no tablets or logins required.
- Connected Workforce & Huddles Shift huddles, recognition, and skills tracking built into daily workflow.
- ERP Work Order Integration Jobs flow in from the ERP you already run, instead of getting re-keyed by hand.
AI
- AI Production Summaries AI reads thousands of data points a shift and tells you what actually matters.
- AI OEE Analysis AI reviews the components behind a score and explains what drove it, with suggestions to improve.
- Ask AI Any Question Plain language questions about your own data, answered in seconds, with follow ups.
- AI Pre-Job Briefing Operators get job history, downtime patterns, and trends to watch before the job starts.
Platform
- Native Dashboards & Drill-Downs Built in analytics and trend analysis, no separate BI tool required.
- Device Agnostic Runs on any device on the floor, phone, tablet, or laptop, not just an iPad.
- Vision & Camera Integration Tie camera footage directly to the moment a quality or safety event occurred.
- Advanced Customization Configured around how your process actually runs, not a rigid template.
- Cloud-Native SaaS No servers to manage and no expensive on-prem infrastructure to maintain.
