Case Study: Ofi Achieves 25% Throughput Growth with Braincube Real-Time Process Optimization

Olam Food Ingredients boosts throughput 25% with Braincube

Olam Food Ingredients (Ofi), a global supplier of food ingredients, faced a challenge with an underperforming cocoa production line where yield was below target and throughput was constrained. The process was highly variable and drifted away from optimal performance as conditions changed, making it impossible to adapt in real time. To address this, Ofi partnered with vendor Braincube to implement its Real-Time Process Optimization service.

Braincube's solution continuously recalculates optimal operating setpoints based on real-time conditions and prescribes adjustments to maintain performance. This allowed Ofi to move from reactive troubleshooting to continuous process steering. As a result, Braincube helped Ofi achieve a 6.5% yield increase within four months and a 25% throughput improvement within one year, along with reduced variability and more consistent production.
