Planned preventive maintenance for food and drink plants

Every asset in date. Every audit ready.

AIQO PPM reads your maintenance plans, run-hour and cycle counters, SCADA trends and engineer notes every morning. It flags what is overdue or drifting, and drafts the work order with safety steps and a slot in your next planned stop. Your team approves every job.

Starts from the spreadsheets and exports you already have. No new sensors, no integration project.

Pasteuriser plate pack: book the integrity test before the margin alarm trips

Critical
PAS-01 · HTST pasteuriser & plate heat exchanger

The pressure margin protecting pasteurised product from raw milk has fallen from 0.55 to 0.32 bar since August, close to the 0.30 bar alarm. The annual plate test is due in 11 days anyway.

Platform

One place for planned maintenance, from warning sign to signed-off record

Due dates you can defend

A rules engine works out every due date from your plans, by calendar or by run hours and cycles, whichever comes first. Plain arithmetic you can check: AI never decides a compliance date.

Warning signs, explained

Each morning the AI review reads SCADA trends, CIP and checkweigher data, batch records and operator notes, and explains what is drifting with the evidence, before it stops a line.

Work orders on the tablet

Engineers tick steps off with gloves on, record readings and photos, and QA signs off critical control point work. Completion moves the next due date on by itself.

Production plan

Use the downtime you already plan

Proposals land in the changeovers, sanitation slots and shutdowns from your production plan, so maintenance stops costing production time.

  • Every slot is checked in code: right area or line, long enough for the job, before the due date.
  • Jobs that share a stop are combined into one visit.
  • When nothing fits, it says so: "needs a planned stop".

How it works

Four steps, every day

01 · Feed

Your data in

Asset register, plans, meter and process readings, log entries, the production plan and engineer reports. Every row keeps a link to the file it came from.

02 · Check

Rules first

The rules engine works out what is overdue, due soon or near its meter limit, and flags signals past their limits or trending towards them.

03 · Review

AI explains

Claude reads the facts and the notes, explains each issue with evidence, and drafts the work order with safety, steps, parts and a slot.

04 · Close

People decide

A manager approves, the engineer does the job, QA signs off where needed, and the record lands on the asset for the auditor.

For your team

Built for everyone on site

Audit-ready by design

Records that stand up to a BRCGS or insurer audit

Every number, decision and signature can be traced. The AI drafts; your people approve; the record shows both.

Every number has a source

Click any figure to see the file, row, upload time and uploader it came from.

Every change is logged

Sign-ins, imports, approvals, step ticks and QA results, with before and after values, exportable to CSV.

AI with guardrails

Checks in code, not left to the model: evidence must exist, dates come from your rules, and AI safety text is labelled for checking against your risk assessment.

Your data stays yours

Data stays in your own database and is never used to train models.

  • Sign-in with one-time email codes; no passwords to leak
  • Roles checked on the server for every action
  • Export everything as CSV whenever you like
