European regulations and certification standards impose traceability and monitoring requirements that IoT-based monitoring automates directly.
The HACCP plan is a legal requirement for all food businesses (Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004). It requires the identification of CCPs (critical control points), the establishment of critical limits, and continuous monitoring. The Eziwan IoT system automates the collection and traceability of monitoring data, replacing manual records that are prone to errors and omissions.
Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 requires the traceability of food products at every stage of the supply chain (the “one step forward, one step back” principle). In the event of a health crisis, manufacturers must be able to trace a batch’s complete history within a few hours. The Eziwan platform retains production data (temperature, duration, batches) for at least 5 years.
The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety and IFS Food Standard are voluntary certifications, but they are often required by major retailers. They impose requirements for traceability, cold chain management, and documentation of controls. The Eziwan platform provides the data and reports needed for annual audits.
Agri-food companies of a certain size may be classified as operators of essential services (OES) and subject to the NIS2 Directive. This imposes cybersecurity requirements on OT/IT systems, including industrial supervision systems. The Eziwan platform is hosted in France with TLS encryption, strong authentication, and access logging.
From cold chain monitoring to production line supervision, energy management, and audit reports: all in one.
Monitor all temperature zones at your facility simultaneously: cold rooms, warm rooms, blast freezers, pasteurizers, and ovens. Each sensor reports its reading every 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the criticality of the zone. Real-time temperature graphs and long-term historical data.
Set alert thresholds for each zone (e.g., cold room > 4°C for more than 5 minutes). An SMS alert is sent within 90 seconds to the quality manager and the maintenance manager. Escalation logic: Level 1 alert (SMS), Level 2 (phone call), Level 3 (management on call).
CCP monitoring data is automatically recorded with a timestamp, sensor ID, and measured value. No more manual paper records: the HACCP log is automatically generated as a PDF and retained for 5 years. Full compliance with the traceability requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002.
Real-time production data retrieval from your PLCs (Siemens S7, Schneider M340/M580, Allen-Bradley) via Modbus TCP or OPC-UA: production rates, piece counters, uptime, energy consumption per piece of equipment, machine alarms. Line performance dashboard (OEE).
Eziwan natively supports the industrial PLC protocols most commonly used in the food and beverage industry: Siemens SIMATIC S7 (S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500) via S7comm or OPC-UA, Schneider Modicon M340/M580 via Modbus TCP, Omron NX/NJ. Configure read requests via the web interface, without programming.
The Eziwan REST API (OAuth2, OpenAPI) enables bidirectional integration with your ERP (SAP, Sage, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics) and your MES (FactoryTalk, Wonderware, ProFactory). Production rates, consumption data, and quality data are uploaded to the information system. You can also receive production orders from the MES.
Energy costs often account for 15 to 30 percent of a food processing plant’s operating costs. Eziwan measures consumption of steam (Modbus flow meters), refrigeration (refrigeration capacity, COP of chillers), compressed air (pressure, flow rate, detected leaks), and electricity (multi-rate meters). Consumption reports by production area and by equipment.
With just one click, generate the reports you need for your BRC/IFS/IFS Logistics audits: temperature histories by zone, summaries of threshold exceedances and corrective actions, and records of critical control points (CCPs) for the audited period. The reports are in PDF format with your logo, automatically archived, and accessible from your customer portal.
Each industry has its own specific challenges. Here’s how Eziwan addresses the unique needs of each sector.
The dairy industry faces a number of critical challenges: maintaining the cold chain for raw milk (< 4°C), pasteurization (72°C/15 s or 63°C/30 min), aging in cellars (precise temperature and humidity), and storage of finished products.
Slaughterhouses and meat-processing plants are subject to strict veterinary inspections. Food safety traceability must be flawless at every stage of the process.
Industrial baking processes involve critical steps: controlled fermentation, precise baking, and rapid cooling.
Bottling and canning lines require monitoring of CIP, carbonation, and sterilization parameters.
Cold-chain logistics warehouses and deep-freeze storage units must maintain very low temperatures (−18°C to −30°C) at all times.
