Production line assessment
MG ProActive Maintenance: Maximize Uptime, Minimize Risk
Our Comprehensive Production Line Assessment Framework
To make informed investment or optimization decisions, a systematic evaluation is essential. MG’s Production Line Assessment provides a 360-degree analysis based on nine critical pillars. The table below outlines our core evaluation focus and the tangible value it delivers.
| Assessment Pillar | Core Evaluation Points | Value & Risk Insight Provided |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Capacity & Efficiency | Design vs. Actual Output; Machine Cycle Synchronization (Blow Mold / Fill / Cap / Label / Pack); OEE; Changeover Time; Production Flexibility. | Identifies bottleneck machines, quantifies efficiency losses, and provides a roadmap to achieve target OEE and improve line balance. |
| 2. Process & Product Compatibility | Beverage Type Suitability (Water, CSD, Juice, etc.); Filling Method & Accuracy (Isobaric, Atmospheric, Hot Fill, Aseptic); Foaming, Oxygen Ingestion, Sediment Control; Product Consistency. | Ensures your line is technically capable of producing your current and planned products to the highest quality specifications without compromise. |
| 3. Quality & Food Safety | CIP/SIP System Integrity; Material Compliance (Food-Grade Steel, Seals); Microbial Control Points (CCPs); Compliance with Standards (FDA, CE, HACCP, ISO). | Mitigates contamination risk, validates hygiene protocols, and assesses compliance readiness for target markets, protecting your brand. |
| 4. Equipment & System Reliability | Critical Component Brands & Life Expectancy; Machine Stability & Failure Rate; Spare Parts Commonality & Supply Lead Time; Preventive / Predictive Maintenance Capability. | Evaluates long-term operational stability and lifecycle costs, highlighting high-risk components and opportunities to improve MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). |
| 5. Automation & Digital Level | PLC/HMI Architecture; Recipe Management & Data Traceability; Remote Diagnostics; MES/ERP Integration Capability. | Assesses control system modernity, data capture potential, and integration readiness for Industry 4.0 smart factory initiatives. |
| 6. Energy & Operational Cost | Water, Electricity, Steam, Compressed Air Consumption; Cost per Bottle/ per Ton; CIP Chemical & Consumable Efficiency; Labor Requirements. | Provides a detailed OPEX model, identifying key areas for utility savings, consumable optimization, and labor efficiency gains. |
| 7. Line Layout & Logistics | Equipment Layout Rationality; Personnel/Material/Bottle Flow; Expansion & Upgrade Potential; Safety & Maintenance Access. | Analyzes physical flow for inefficiencies and safety hazards, and provides a future-proof layout strategy for easy expansion. |
| 8. Flexibility & Future Expansion | Bottle Shape/Capacity Switch Range; New Product Introduction Complexity; Modularity & Upgrade Feasibility; Compatibility with Future Packaging Trends. | Evaluates the line’s agility to adapt to market changes and assesses the cost/effort required for future upgrades or new product launches. |
| 9. Service & Risk Profile | Installation, Commissioning, & Training Capability; Local & Remote Service Response; Warranty & Maintenance Plans; Downtime Risk & Emergency Support. | Reviews the support ecosystem, quantifying operational risks and ensuring a robust plan is in place to minimize potential downtime. |
Designed for Stability, Efficiency, and Long-Term Results
We don’t just look at machines or individual specs.
We evaluate your entire production line as a system — from product quality and long-term reliability to total lifetime cost.
By reviewing capacity matching, process design, food safety, energy use, and future expansion, we help you spot risks early, launch smoothly, and run your line stable and efficient for years to come.
Our goal isn’t just to deliver a production line.
It’s to make sure every bottle is produced consistently, reliably, and at the lowest possible long-term cost.
That’s why our clients choose us — and keep working with us.
we’re here to all your questions
Can we handle maintenance ourselves?
Yes. Tier 1 tasks are covered by Online Academy training. Tier 2/3 services should be done by MG technicians.
How does predictive maintenance work?
The iCare Gateway collects PLC and sensor data and analyzes trends. Alerts are sent before failures occur.
What if a critical part fails under a plan?
Tier 2/3 plans cover labor. Parts are discounted and shipped with priority.
How do we start a maintenance assessment?
Request a free remote assessment. We review your line and provide recommendations within one week.
Is certification provided?
Yes. A downloadable MG Certificate is issued after passing each module quiz.
