Integrated Solutions for Consumer Packaged Goods Operations
Outdated, fragmented systems cost you time, money, and performance. Interstates can help you solve that.
The Challenge: CPG Facilities Face Increasing Pressure
Modern CPG production requires constant customization, high-quality output, and traceable operations. Yet many plants are constrained by:
- OEM Assets Operating in Standalone Mode: A mix of proprietary controls and platforms can make unified management complex.
- Lack of Real-Time Visibility: Without connected data, identifying bottlenecks, waste, and downtime is slow and reactive.
- Production Rigidity: Frequent changeovers demand high flexibility that current systems struggle to support.
How Does Interstates Help?
Our capabilities enable
Unified data from line-level to enterprise systems.
Process improvements driven by real-time OEE insights.
Flexible line configurations that adapt to customer demands.
Simplified vendor coordination and consistent standards.
Why Interstates?
More than a systems integrator: We’re your long-term partner. With expertise spanning automation, manufacturing execution systems (MES), electrical construction, panel building, and advanced analytics, Interstates eliminates the need to coordinate across multiple vendors. Our teams speak both plant-floor and enterprise languages, guiding CPG clients through complex digital transformations with a single-partner model.
MES + OEE = Smarter Operations
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Centralized control and visibility across equipment, lines, and production batches.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): Uncover root causes of downtime, quality loss, and inefficiency. Use data to justify capital investments and process changes.
