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Outdated, fragmented systems cost you time, money, and performance.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 Assests 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.
