Industries · Food processing

Flowtics for food processing machinery. Temperatures, batches and cleaning, on record without the clipboard.

Flowtics reads the PLC on processing and packing machines and shows output, temperatures and cleaning cycles live. Temperature records keep themselves, and anything out of band reaches the right person at once.

The machines

Built for the machines you run.

Processing and packing machines where temperature and hygiene matter as much as output.

  • Mixers and kettles

    Batch temperature, time and agitator status.

  • Ovens and fryers

    Zone or oil temperature, and cycle time.

  • Chillers and freezers

    Temperatures against their band, around the clock.

  • Filling and form-fill-seal

    Packs per minute, seal temperature and rejects.

  • Pasteurisers

    Holding temperature and time.

  • Cleaning (CIP) systems

    When each cleaning cycle ran, and for how long.
