Solved! Marzetti’s Midnight Mystery — Less Waste, More Yield, Bigger Margins

On-Demand

Large food and beverage processors are often “data rich but insight poor.” Critical production signals live in historians, MES, and spreadsheets, but connecting them to real‑world outcomes like waste, yield, and OEE is difficult.

Marzetti, the maker behind beloved sauces and dressings for retail and foodservice sauces and dressings, including those for Chick-fil-A, partnered with Swan‑Black and Seeq to change this. By applying advanced time‑series analytics to existing plant data, they uncovered unexpected late‑night waste during sanitation and recurring downtime across multiple lines—then took targeted action to improve performance.

In this webinar, Marzetti’s Supply Chain Program Data Analyst, Alex Jovich, joins Swan‑Black and Seeq to share how they solved the “midnight mystery” and translated insights into thousands of additional cases per month and reduced material losses.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Expose hidden product losses and recurring downtime patterns buried in historian and MES data.
• Quantify the true impact of waste and stoppages in pounds, cases, and margin.
• Build repeatable analytics in Seeq that engineers and CI teams can use across lines and plants.
• Combine Seeq’s analytics platform with Swan‑Black’s F&B domain expertise for faster time to value.
