TraceabilityAutomated weighing and lot-level label printingThe challenge
▸Controlling kiln temperature and mix formulations across multiple plants
▸Energy cost (electricity and gas) accounting for a large share of unit cost
▸Difficulty consolidating production and commercial data in real time
The DBIZ solution
✓ERP and MES monitoring the kilns and each stage (mixing → firing → packing)
✓IoT monitoring of temperature and energy, with predictive maintenance
✓Robotic palletising and automated weighing, with QR traceability labels
✓A Control Tower unifying ERP, MES and IoT data
