Problem statement
SMEs in the food sector faced significant operational inefficiencies due to scattered data systems, manual monitoring processes, and isolated production controls. These challenges led to siloed data, delayed responses, and suboptimal resource utilization. The lack of centralized, real-time data access hindered timely decision-making, increased downtime, and elevated costs. To address this, Deltahes implemented the Common Data Stack (CDS), which offers a unified solution for centralized monitoring, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration across SCADA, MES, and ERP systems. By enabling real-time data flow, CDS enhances visibility, automates reporting, optimizes production processes, and reduces maintenance costs. The solution not only minimizes operational delays but also supports long-term sustainability through better resource management and data-driven decision-making, fostering growth and competitiveness in a demanding market.
Main outcome
The implementation of the Common Data Stack (CDS) by Deltahes delivered measurable improvements in efficiency and resource management for SMEs in the food sector. Real-time data integration eliminated data silos, enabling accurate and immediate decision-making. Predictive maintenance significantly reduced equipment downtime, improving overall production continuity and lowering operational costs. Seamless connectivity across SCADA, MES, and ERP systems provided enhanced visibility into processes, ensuring better planning and optimized workflows. The solution also automated reporting and analytics, enabling SMEs to track performance metrics, reduce waste, and increase productivity, supporting sustainable growth and competitiveness.
A concrete example of CDS implementation is with Mljekara Nika, which used CDS to gain real-time insights into their production processes. This allowed them to respond quickly to changes and maintain high product quality. The digital transformation led to a 15% reduction in raw material waste and smoother operations overall, demonstrating the tangible benefits of the solution in optimizing resource management and enhancing operational efficiency.
