Manufacturing Execution System

Cheese production,
executed right.
Every shift.

iMonitor is the operator-first MES for NZ and Australian cheese manufacturers. It guides make day execution step by step, enforces checks and holds while the work is happening, and builds an audit ready Electronic Batch Record with full genealogy.

  • Stop wrong additions with scan and verify steps
  • Enforce pH, moisture, and salt checks, plus hold rules, during the run
  • Trace from milk intake to finished packs fast, without paper chasing

What is iMonitor MES for cheese?

You already have systems that plan production. iMonitor is the system that makes sure it is executed correctly on the floor, during the run, not after the shift.

Your ERP says: "Make 10 tonnes of cheddar blocks for export."

iMonitor MES runs: the exact workflow, checks, tolerances, holds, sign-offs, and data capture needed to produce it consistently and prove it.

iMonitor is not ERP. It is not SCADA.
It is the MES layer that connects specs and recipes to how work actually happens, and turns execution into an auditable record.

Cheese Production - Make Day

Product: Cottage Cheese|Assigned to role: Cheese Operator|Batch no.: CC-2026-X88|Batch size: 2500.0 kg

Fix the Problems That Cause Downgrade, Rework, and Audit Pain

Wrong additions and dosing

The Problem

"One wrong culture, rennet, or salt addition can cost a full make and a lot of cleanup."

How iMonitor Fixes It

Guided verification with barcode checks, tolerances, and required sign-offs before the next step.

How iMonitor MES fits into your plant

1

Bring in the plan

Sync work orders, recipes, and specs from your ERP or spreadsheets. iMonitor turns them into live instructions.

2

Execute on the floor

Operators follow a clean tablet workflow. Verify, weigh, add, check. Deviations and holds happen live.

3

Produce the proof

Every run outputs a complete Electronic Batch Record with full genealogy and QA results instantly.

Go live in weeks, not years

Traditional MES rollouts can feel like a multi-year rebuild. iMonitor is designed for the ANZ market. Start small, prove value, then expand.

Start with one line, one product, or one workflow

Prove value in a tight scope, then expand to the next highest-impact area.

Keep ERP and SCADA as is

Integrate where it makes sense; do not rip and replace what is already working.

Configure quickly, then refine with operators

Iterate using real shift feedback to make execution simple and consistent.

Scale across products, sites, and regions

Roll out when you are ready, with visibility that works for group quality and offshore owners.

Built for seasonal variability, export audits, and lean teams, with visibility and reporting that works for offshore owners and group quality teams.

Common Questions

Do we need to replace ERP or SCADA?
No worries. iMonitor MES sits alongside them. ERP plans and tracks business operations. SCADA monitors control signals. iMonitor runs the execution workflow, checks, holds, and the batch record.
Can we start with one line or one area first?
Yes. Many ANZ plants start with one key workflow, prove savings, then expand to other areas.
What about scanners, scales, and dosing checks?
We can run operator guided verification today, and integrate with scanners and scales where available. The goal is to make it hard to do the wrong thing and easy to do the right thing.
Will this help with export audits and customer evidence requests?
Yes. iMonitor generates Electronic Batch Records with linked checks, deviations, sign-offs, and genealogy so evidence is ready when you need it.
Is iMonitor suitable for enterprise groups too?
Yes. Built to scale with role-based access, multi-site rollout paths, and security practices aligned to rigorous standards.
