Case Study
Grass-Fed Optimization: Batch and Waste Management at Navobi
Increase in batch dosing accuracy
Time to achieve ROI
Raw material consumption tracked and reduced, lowering the cost of production
Using TrakSYS, the bottlenecks in the production of the semi-finished goods were eliminated. Furthermore, by analyzing the dosing accuracy reports, we were able to make changes to the process equipment that resulted in faster dosing with almost 80% accuracy improvement. We were very pleased with the significant gains and ROI in a very short time of only a few weeks.
The Company
Navobi is the manufacturer of an ultra-high-quality calf milk supplement. The brand has become known for its high-quality, safe, and reliable product.
The Challenge
The cost of manufacturing Navobi's calf milk substitute is directly tied to the cost of raw materials and electricity. As raw material prices continued to rise, Navobi needed a way to keep producing its low-cost, high-quality product without compromise. That meant finding a way to manage raw material consumption and optimize batch quality.
Navobi had no real-time monitoring of raw material consumption and no insight into the correlation between raw material usage and product quality. Utility usage was tied to raw material consumption, there was no standardized method for operators to review batch and quality data, and the company faced stringent regulatory requirements around traceability and batch records.
The Solution
Working alongside Parsec Automation, LLC, the Navobi team architected a TrakSYS rollout that would tie into its existing infrastructure, optimize batch management, help determine the root causes of poor quality, and track raw material consumption, all in support of audit-ready traceability and regulatory compliance.
The implementation gave Navobi user-specific dashboards for monitoring electronic batch records (EBRs), established a correlation between dosing accuracy, assets, ingredients, and suppliers, and brought Planning and Scheduling, Inventory Management, Weighing and Dispensing, Batch Management, Quality Management, Traceability, SPC, Material Management, and E-records capabilities into a single platform.
The Impact
Using TrakSYS, Navobi eliminated bottlenecks in the production of its semi-finished goods and increased batch dosing accuracy by 80%. The company achieved a return on its investment in just 12 weeks.
Beyond the dosing gains, Navobi was able to remove process constraints, accurately track and reduce raw material consumption, and lower the overall cost of production, all while elevating batch quality and maintaining audit-ready traceability.
