In today’s modern bakery, competitive results are harder to achieve than ever. With bread margins in single digits, tightening a bakery’s operating efficiency and controlling weight variation are keys to product consistency and corporate profitability. That’s why leading bakeries and food processors around the world are moving to specialty software built for large-scale production and quality compliance. At Advantive, we offer a selection of the best SPC, ERP, WMS, and MES solutions for manufacturers and distributors in the food and beverage industry.
Although many baked goods producers and bread manufacturers have control systems in place to capture and track critical quality data, a lack of statistical process control often translates into excessive weight and give–away, unnecessary raw material usage, additional inspection costs, higher product defect rates and waste. Advantive offers the proven SPC, WMS, and MES software to properly analyze performance, reveal hidden variations, and make timely decisions that impact your bottom line. Core features include:
Advantive’s baking SPC, WMS, and MES software offers all the tools for baking manufacturers to automate collection of weights, temperatures, and other product quality checks, and then control processes with real-time charts and alarms. By instantly capturing critical data from gauges, scales, check weighers, vision systems and other automated inspection equipment, baking manufacturers and line operators can achieve real-time feedback at the point of production before any parameter is out of specification.
Elevate your food production operations with the state-of-the-art WMS and MES solutions from Advantive. Our comprehensive software is engineered to cater specifically to the intricate needs of the baking industry, providing a clear vision of your production flow and fortifying inventory tracking through in-process steps including yield tracking, catchweight production scheduling, and recipe management. By seamlessly integrating with your bakery production line’s instrumentation, such as scales and palletizers, we can help you digitize and automate data flow directly from the production floor to your administrative offices in real-time.
Instantly alert bakery production workers and supervisors of non-complying events or rule violations to help prevent the production of over- and underweight products. From detection to correction, our world-class SPC software includes built-in triggers and alarms that are easy to schedule a variety of different notifications, including shutting down a machine, sending a command to a device, triggering a corrective action process, executing custom programs, and more.

Our software includes specialized cost analysis functionality for industrial bakeries that link manufacturing cost information with current and historical process data, empowering quality teams to:
While there are several quality programs providing regulatory compliance with initiatives such as Safe Quality Food (SQF), leading bakeries around the world are looking for the right technology to record, track, and report on food quality metrics and bread margins. At Advantive, we offer a selection of SPC, WMS, and MES solutions to ensure a consistent product for your customers and meet baking industry regulations. With instant lot tracing and rapid recall capabilities, our proven bakery manufacturing software helps to eliminate outdated paperwork, streamline the quality control process, and enhance your commitment to regulatory compliance.
How much is variation costing the company and how much could be saved if variation could be reduced? Our unique post-production analysis tools give bakeries insight into product give–away and FDA maximum allowable variation (MAV) non-compliances (underfill); then help them prioritize improvement initiatives in these areas. With a user-friendly report builder and a centralized digital database, workers and management can quickly and easily access pre-built report templates and quality charts based on recorded data from any area of the facility.
