MISSION VIEJO, Calif. ?December 18th, 2006--Vigilistics, a company serving the dairy and food processing industries, announced the Vigilistics CIP Management Module for enforcing best practices for cleaning the equipment that is used in food processing. Vigilistics translates plant CIP automation data into a detailed S-88 batch process model of the clean-in-place circuits and the processing equipment, tracking every clean-in-place operation. Real-time analysis and notifications are used to maintain best practices and to alert management of any anomalies, such as incorrect operator actions, equipment malfunctions or data problems. The resulting cleaning records are maintained in secure auditable form for presentation to regulatory authorities.
"The Vigilistics system provides a real-time independent audit of the cleaning operations" said Craig Nelson, founder of Vigilistics. "In the event of an incorrect cleaning operation, Vigilistics can notify management within a few seconds of the event and track the potential contamination to the exact lots that may be affected. Plant managers can take corrective action to minimize the impact because they are aware of a problem as soon as it happens."
Vigilistics already monitors and records CIP compliance for FDA and Department of Agriculture inspections at customer food processing plants. The Vigilistics CIP Management Module adds real-time analysis and notifications, to enforce best practices and to assure food manufacturers and their customers that cleaning operations were properly done.
Vigilistics is located in Mission Viejo, California, close to the largest concentration of dairy and food processing companies in the United States. Vigilistics software was developed specifically for compliance requirements, including accurate and auditable data and plant models that allow fully compliant tracking and tracing to be accomplished in a few seconds. Vigilistics software is offered with a set of optional economic modules for specific performance objectives. An interface capability for ERP systems is also an option. Vigilistics Inc. is a private venture-funded corporation.
