Case Study: Michael Foods achieves data-driven quality and reduced overpack with Advantive InfinityQS

Michael Foods takes the guesswork out of planning for the future with data-based decision-making

Michael Foods, a producer and distributor of food products, faced challenges with manual data collection and inefficient statistical process control in its manufacturing facilities. This led to product loss through overpacking and a lack of actionable operational intelligence. To address this, they partnered with Advantive and implemented its InfinityQS ProFicient platform.

Advantive's solution provided a real-time quality and manufacturing intelligence platform that automated data collection and empowered operators with dynamic workflows. The results were significant, as Michael Foods achieved precise weight control within tenths of a gram, which paid for the project through productivity gains. Advantive's software reduced overpack and waste, eliminated variation between shifts, and enabled data-driven, company-wide decision-making.
