Industries: food and beverage

Safe product. Consistent quality. Complete traceability.

Food and beverage manufacturers operate under intense regulatory scrutiny, and the consequences of a quality failure go well beyond financial cost.

The cost of the gap

One escape costs more than prevention ever will.

Recalls, downtime, and turnover: the price of control points that depend on memory.

The work

Every control point, every time.

Consumer safety depends on every control point working correctly, every record being accurate, and every non-conformance being caught and resolved fast. Visor helps producers hold HACCP compliance, reduce quality escapes, and automate the documentation auditors require.

Fill level, label placement, seal integrity, and foreign body detection are checked continuously with visual AI, inline, without slowing the line. Allergen changeovers, sanitation sequences, and line setup run as procedures the AI confirms step by step, not procedures an operator has to remember and sign for.

Temperature logs, cleaning verification, and critical control point records are generated as each procedure completes, so an audit becomes a query rather than a search.

Compliance

Traceability from control point to record.

Visor supports FSSC 22000, HACCP critical control point monitoring, FDA 21 CFR Part 117 (FSMA), and BRCGS documentation requirements, with real-time records generated at each control point.

Case study

Sanitation and allergen changeover verification

The challenge

The changeover between products is the highest-risk hour a food plant runs. Sanitation is signed off on a clipboard, allergen verification depends on an operator remembering the sequence, and when the record is thin the only defensible answer to a consumer complaint is a recall.

With Visor

Visor Guide runs the wet clean and the allergen changeover as a confirmed sequence, releasing each step only once it has seen the one before it completed, with the swab result and the visual check attached where they were taken. Visor Inspect confirms the line is clear before product is released, and Visor Document produces the CCP record and the changeover evidence FSSC 22000 and HACCP require, closed before the next run starts.
