FMCG / CPG Material Value Map
Reclaim speed lost to micro-stops, creep, and cycle drift.
Process overview
High-speed filling and packaging lines lose material value in seconds, not hours. Short stops that reset before the downtime threshold, changeovers that creep past their best repeatable time, and cycle rates that drift below standard add up to a large share of the line's theoretical output, one brief event at a time.
Why prediction matters
A line losing a few seconds every minute never triggers a downtime alarm, yet the compounded loss can rival a full shift each week. Mining PLC state changes and line-speed signals recovers those seconds where standard reporting cannot see them.

Which of these variables tends to carry the most predictive signal in practice? Curious where to focus feature work first.
