Introduction

RANSU Consulting in under one minute

Every machine, conveyor and warehouse generates data, continuously.

Services

Four services for a controlled process

Process simulation
A digital model of your process shows how it behaves in exceptional situations, before the process has been built.
Food sector applications
- Scale foodtech start-ups from lab and pilot batches to continuous industrial production lines.
- Test new line set-ups digitally, without wasting expensive raw materials on trial runs.
Functional process design
A precise description of what your process is required to do. It forms the basis for every implementation and improvement.
Food sector applications
- Lines designed for cold-chain continuity from intake to dispatch.
- Strict allergen separation built into the process flow.
- Clean-in-place (CIP) cycles planned into the production schedule.
Process insights
Your organisation holds the data, but lacks the time to turn it into information. RANSU develops the reports and charts that make performance visible.
Food sector applications
- Mass balances, ingredient tracking and energy consumption turned into actionable dashboards.
- Side streams made visible, so they can be recovered and commercialised instead of discarded.
Process auditing
An independent assessment of your processes against established best practice in process control.
Food sector applications
- An independent review that prepares your data workflows for food safety standards such as HACCP, ISO 22000 and BRC.
- Traceability checked from raw ingredient to finished product.

Standardisation

From reactive problem solving to a predictable process.

Standardisation is an activity in its own right, like any other process step. A predictable process delivers a product of predictable quality.

Approach

A problem is the difference between the current situation and the desired situation. Once both are defined and the cause of the gap has been identified, the problem can be solved.

In process control, less is more

Fewer parameters, greater value
Retain only the settings that demonstrably influence the result. An excess of information makes a process unstable.
Less variation, higher yield
Assign every setting a target value and a tolerance. Narrower tolerances prevent product giveaway, such as overfilled packages, and reduce raw ingredient waste.
A consistent response
An Out of Control Action Plan defines how your team responds when the process deviates.
Intervene only when required
Statistical Process Control indicates when operators should intervene and, equally important, when they should not. On packaging and processing lines, this directly improves Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
