Batch Tracking & Shift Control

Production Management

Run your mill floor with precision. FeedPi tracks every production batch from weighment through mixing, pelleting, and bagging — capturing actuals against formula targets in real time. Shift handovers become data-driven, variance detection flags deviations before they compound, and downtime is logged with root-cause codes for continuous improvement.

Key Capabilities

End-to-End Batch Tracking

Every batch gets a unique ID linking formula, raw materials consumed, operator, equipment used, and finished goods produced. Full genealogy in one click.

Shift Management & Handover

Digital shift logs capture throughput, downtime, quality holds, and pending actions. Incoming shift leads see a structured handover dashboard — no more verbal-only handoffs.

Real-Time Variance Detection

Compares actual ingredient weights against formula targets during dosing. Alerts fire when variance exceeds configurable thresholds — before the batch is mixed.

Equipment OEE Tracking

Logs availability, performance, and quality rates for mixers, pellet mills, coolers, and packing lines. Calculates Overall Equipment Effectiveness per shift and per machine.

Downtime & Root-Cause Logging

Operators log downtime events with standardised reason codes (mechanical, electrical, changeover, no material). Pareto charts surface the top causes weekly.

Production Scheduling & Sequencing

Drag-and-drop scheduler sequences batches to minimise changeover time and cross-contamination risk. Medicated feed batches are automatically separated with flush cycles.

Teams on FeedPi say

“We went from paper batch sheets to real-time tracking in two weeks. Variance dropped 18% in the first month because operators could see deviations live.”

— Production Head, 200 TPD Cattle Feed Mill

“The handover dashboard changed everything. I know exactly what the previous shift completed, what's pending, and what went wrong — before I even walk the floor.”

— Shift Supervisor, Poultry Feed Plant

“OEE tracking across three plants from one screen. I can compare mixer utilisation in Salem vs Namakkal and allocate orders to the plant with capacity.”
