Performance Intelligence
Clear data, immediate decisions, real value.
Inefficiency comes at a cost.
In many companies, production data already exists, but it's fragmented and never turns into decisions.
Limited awareness
Manufacturers often have only a partial view of how individual machines on a line are performing.
Delayed decisions
Excel spreadsheets and manual readings don’t provide the real-time visibility needed to act early.
Invisible inefficiencies
When data isn’t connected and turned into actionable insight, deviations from standard values go unnoticed.
From data to action
From data to action
CFT Performance Intelligence is our family of digital solutions for monitoring the performance of machines and lines in food production. It includes hardware and software tools that turn collected data into clear, actionable insight — the foundation for decisions that improve performance and reduce waste, in real time.
It works on two complementary levels:
- Asset Monitoring — monitoring of the individual machine;
- Line Monitoring — monitoring of the entire production line.
Technology measures. Experience decides.
Performance Intelligence tools collect and organize data in real time.
With CFT’s expertise behind you, it becomes even easier to identify the data that matters and the actions to take.
Asset Monitoring
Asset Monitoring
The first level of Performance Intelligence is control of the individual machine: data collected, processed and displayed in real time, right on board every CFT machine.
MENTIS is the Edge computer we integrate directly into CFT machines. A machine without intelligence fails in silence: a machine with MENTIS measures, corrects and improves.
MENTIS
Four vertical applications, four dedicated dashboards: a focused view of every aspect of the machine.
1. MENTIS Performance
Monitors all machine performance in real time — from OEE (performance, availability and quality) to asset-specific indicators — with intuitive dashboards designed for operators and line managers.
2. MENTIS Energy
Continuously monitors the machine’s energy consumption, correlating it with production data: deviations from standard values are identified quickly, before they turn into a cost.
3. MENTIS Maintenance
Helps users identify and plan required maintenance in advance, with full tracking of every activity carried out on the machine.
4. MENTIS Condition Monitoring
Predictive maintenance for pumps and rotary fillers: anticipates mechanical faults in the most critical components, optimizing repair planning and reducing the cost of inefficiency.
MENTIS AI APPS
AI-based vertical applications, currently in development and scheduled for release in 2027, designed to further optimize the performance of specific assets.

Line Monitoring
Line Monitoring
The second level of Performance Intelligence extends visibility from the individual machine to the entire production line, with dedicated vertical solutions for the main food processing segments: from tomato to fruit, from formulated products to packaging.
A machine on its own tells only part of the story: a line monitored as a whole reveals where waste is really hiding.
A solution for every line
TOMATO – Digital Tomato
Monitors, predicts and optimizes the performance of tomato processing lines, turning data into proactive, predictive action.
- Yields and consumption under control, batch by batch delivered
- Comparison across lines and plants on a single dashboard
- The first solution in the family to reach full industrial maturity
FRUIT - Fruit Pulse
The same predictive approach as Digital Tomato, applied to fruit processing lines.
- Multi-fruit monitoring — from raw material to finished product
- Forecasting of deviations in yield and quality
- Proactive corrective action, not just after-the-fact reports
FORMULATED PRODUCTS - Batch Pulse
Control and traceability of formulated-product manufacturing, from recipe to batch execution and integration with MES systems.
- Centralized governance, decentralized execution
- Three roles aligned: Engineering, Quality, Operations
- MES integration for full batch traceability
PACKAGING - Illuminate
An ATS application that monitors packaging line performance: line OEE and real-time bottleneck identification.
- Real-time line OEE
- Bottleneck detection as soon as efficiency drops
- Part of ATS Corporation’s Manufacturing Intelligence portfolio
Data that makes the difference
When data becomes action, results follow. Here are some achieved in the field.
Error reduction
By monitoring process parameters in real time, deviations from target are detected and corrected quickly, reducing product waste and the risk of non-compliance.
In aseptic filling of large containers, with a 240 kg target, the average error was reduced to just 56 g, reaching a precision better than 0.03%.
Line availability
By identifying the causes of machine stoppages in real time, line availability increases, cutting downtime and improving overall productivity.
In a real case, average availability improved by 1%: on high-output lines, that means thousands of extra units per campaign.
Energy efficiency
By correlating energy consumption with production data, deviations from standard values are identified and corrected in real time, before they affect costs.
This makes it possible to quickly bring consumption back to expected levels, reduce inefficiencies and improve control over the energy performance of the entire production line.
