Food manufacturing software for high-volume production lines

Connect every machine on your floor and turn the data into real OEE, micro-stop detection and full batch traceability from one platform built for FMCG.

Trusted by consumer goods manufacturers

Turn machine signals into production decisions

FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) software is designed for the challenges of high-volume production – long lines with multiple machines, where waste, production stops and unplanned changeovers add up fast. It helps manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce costs and keep production on time.


Accevo provides FMCG production software to solve common industry problems and increase production value: OEE performance monitoring, a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and micro-stops monitoring built for FMCG production.

operator panel

Vendor-agnostic machine connectivity

Collect signals from any machine on the market.

Lower overall cost of production

Analyse production and point out abnormalities before they grow.

Batch-level traceability and quality

Trace every product forward and back, and catch defects in process.

Run your shop floor on FMCG operations software

One central system reads every machine on the floor and turns the data into decisions you can make during the shift.

Production line integration

Connect every machine and process into one central system, with real-time monitoring and control of the whole production line.

Continuous production monitoring

Track production progress, machine performance and product quality in real time – the data you need to make informed decisions and tune the process.

Increased productivity

Spot bottlenecks, downtime and inefficiencies as they happen and address them before they disrupt the shift.

Cost reduction

Pinpoint where to improve and where resources go to waste. Cut scrap, energy use and other expenses with data instead of guesswork.

Timely production

Schedule and track production so orders reach the market exactly when they are needed.

Data-driven decisions

Correlate production data with utilities usage for better resource management and more sustainable operations.

APS graph scaled

Real-time OEE from every machine on the line

Analyse OEE – availability, performance and quality – to find exactly where the loss sits and which machine or equipment type runs best and worst.

Each PLC is read directly and live, so every stop is tied to the exact machine that caused it, with its reason and one-second accuracy. You know which station to fix and when.

Machine states

Detailed states for every unit – work, idle, changeover, micro-stop, stoppage and failure. Compare current output against the goal set for the order.

Waste under control

Monitor waste material on the line. Faulty machines are flagged automatically from sensor data, with an alert the moment a limit is exceeded.

Stops reasons

Break down stoppages by count and duration, sorted into mechanical, electrical and TPM – so you act on the failures that repeat.

Catch defects in process, trace any batch in seconds

In FMCG a quality issue turns into a recall fast, and a recall without traceability becomes a write-off of everything you cannot rule out. Accevo software builds quality checks into the operator workflow and keeps full batch genealogy automatically.

The platform is built for batch manufacturing, so products are made consistently and in line with industry regulations – with the records to prove it.

qms defects

In-process quality inspections (IPC)

Scheduled checks built into the shift. Operators are prompted, results are recorded digitally and checked against spec the moment they land, with out-of-spec readings escalated in real time.

Forward & backward traceability

Full batch genealogy back to material lot, machine, shift and operator, and forward to shipped pallets. Trace and recall products fast, and scope the recall to the units actually affected.

Overweight & giveaway feedback

Fill weights read live from checkweighers. When a filler drifts heavy, the operator gets feedback at the panel and corrects it before it becomes a shift of giveaway.

Every micro-stop captured automatically, down to the second

Each stop is registered straight from the PLC, with its reason and one-second accuracy, then ranked on a Pareto so you fix the failures that cost the most.

Connect any machine, old or new

We collect signals from new and old lines and machines in one architecture. Our own automation engineers handle connectivity in full, so you work with one team instead of a chain of subcontractors.

Standard protocols across the board – OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus and direct PLC connections. Reading straight from the PLC gives the highest data quality with the least operator involvement, on-premise, in your cloud or as Accevo Cloud.

FMCG production software that pays for itself on the line

Accevo is FMCG manufacturing software designed for high-volume consumer goods plants. It connects every machine, calculates real OEE, captures micro-stops, controls overweight giveaway and keeps full traceability for every batch. The result is FMCG production software that production managers, quality teams and CFOs read the same way: real numbers, in real time, on the line.

As FMCG software solutions go, Accevo is built to deploy fast. Around 80% of the platform is standard configuration rather than custom development, so the first factory typically goes live in months. Whether you need beverage manufacturing software for a bottling hall or food processing software for a mixing and packing line, the same platform covers it – across food, beverage, brewing, spirits, cosmetics, household chemicals and hygiene.

Software for the FMCG industry only earns its place if it changes what happens on the floor. Accevo food manufacturing software solutions turn fragmented machine data into one source of truth, so a slow runner, a heavy filler or a long changeover gets caught and fixed during the shift. As FMCG factory software and FMCG operations software, it gives every role the view they need – the operator at the panel, the board on the dashboard.
