The Compliance Blind Spot: Why Paper Logs Fail Audits
How does an integrated CMMS improve food safety compliance?
An integrated CMMS ensures that every maintenance task, lubrication point, and sanitary check is timestamped, geolocated, and linked to the specific asset history, providing an unalterable digital audit trail that meets the strictest ISO 22000 and FDA standards.
For Paula (the Strategic Leader), the biggest risk is an audit finding triggered by "pencil whipped" paper logs.
Fabrico eliminates this risk by ensuring that Digital CILs (Clean, Inspect, Lubricate) are completed at the machine via a mobile device.
This transparency doesn't just satisfy auditors; it ensures that your maintenance standards are actually being followed across every shift.
Closing the Fault-to-Fix Loop on High-Speed Lines
In a bottling or packaging plant, the difference between a minor tweak and an hour of downtime is often "Decision Latency."
Decision Latency is the time wasted while a production manager searches for a technician to fix a performance loss.
Fabrico’s integrated OEE and CMMS automates this communication.
-
Detection: The PLC detects a cycle time slowdown on a labeling machine.
-
Visual Proof: The Inefficiencies Zoom-In (Computer Vision) module flags a video clip, showing a misaligned label feed.
-
Action: A prioritized Work Order is instantly sent to Tom’s (the Technician) mobile device.
By closing this loop, you reclaim the revenue previously lost in the Hidden Factory and ensure your high-speed lines maintain their rated throughput.

Centerlining for Profit: Stabilizing OEE Quality
"Centerlining" is the practice of maintaining a machine within its optimal operating parameters to ensure consistent output and minimal scrap.
Quality losses in FMCG are often the result of "dial twiddling"—unauthorized adjustments made by operators to mask underlying mechanical wear.
Fabrico's Digital SOPs and Checklists prevent this by enforcing standardized work.
When the OEE Quality score dips, the system identifies the deviation and triggers a Condition-Directed Task.
This ensures that Tom focuses on the "Value Fulcrum"—the specific adjustments that stabilize the process and reduce your Maintenance Cost per Unit.
The Strategic ROI: Reclaiming Revenue Without Capex
For Paula, the "Zero-Leak" factory is a high-yield investment that avoids the need for multimillion-dollar Capex in new production lines.
By reclaiming just 5% of Availability and Performance through integrated action, she can increase total plant output by double digits.
This data-driven foundation is also the prerequisite for the Fabrico Agent (AI Roadmap), which will eventually automate these sanitary and performance optimizations.
Stop watching your profits leak. Start engineering a Zero-Leak factory with a System of Action.
