Implemented Solutions

• Deployed Laminar’s spectral sensors to detect the unique fingerprint of liquids moving through supply and return lines.
• Applied AI models to validate cleaning and changeover steps in real time, removing unnecessary process slack.
• Automated PLC recommendations for when to advance or hold cycles, ensuring optimal cleaning with minimal resource use.
• Extended visibility across the factory with Laminar’s Insights platform, tracking savings per line and across entire plants.

‍

Results

• $100K ROI generated by reclaiming 50% of lost production uptime and reducing CIP cycles by 5% across three lines.
• Potential to unlock $600K in production uptime gains with full rollout across a single plant.
• $500K realized by cutting product changeover time by 31% and reclaiming lost uptime.
• $1M in production uptime gained through a 48% reduction in changeover time.
• $2M realized from a 30% plant-wide reduction in CIP cycle times, reclaiming 50% of lost capacity.
