OEE Visibility and Audit-Ready Records in Food & Beverage
How a food & beverage plant uses Handhaaf to track OEE and keep maintenance records audit-ready.
Use case: Line performance you can see — records you can prove
Turn scattered logs into live OEE and a clean audit trail — so you know where output goes and can hand an auditor a complete history on demand.
- OEE — Availability, performance, quality
- For audit — Records in one place
- Loss drivers — Where output is lost
A food & beverage plant runs to tight hygiene and quality standards, but line performance lives in spreadsheets and maintenance records are hard to pull together at audit time. Nobody can quickly say where output is being lost.
When an auditor asks for the maintenance history of a line, assembling it means chasing paper and people — and the real drivers of lost output stay hidden in disconnected logs.
Downtime, performance and quality losses are captured against each line to build live OEE, and every maintenance job and check is logged against its asset — so the plant sees where output goes and can hand an auditor a complete, dated history on demand.
- The challenge
- The approach
What this use case solves
- Performance hidden in spreadsheets — Losses are captured against each line to build live OEE you can actually see.
- Audits that mean a scramble — Every job and check is logged against its asset, so a complete, dated history is a click away.
- No clear view of where output goes — Availability, performance and quality losses are broken out so you know what to fix first.
- Standards hard to prove — Maintenance and checks are tied to assets and dates, giving auditors a clean trail.
What's deployed
- OEE & Availability — Live OEE from availability, performance and quality losses.
- Downtime Reporting — Losses logged against lines to show where output goes.
- Custom Dashboards — Line and plant views for the floor and for audits.
How the work flows
Losses captured as they happen — and a history that's ready the moment an auditor asks.
We can finally see OEE in real time — and pull a full maintenance history for any line in seconds at audit.

Common questions about OEE visibility and audit-ready records in food & beverage.
Quick answers on what the suite covers, how offline sync works, integrations, security and rollout — and where to go next.
- What is Handhaaf? — Handhaaf is a connected operations platform for industrial teams — asset management, condition monitoring, work orders, inventory and predictive analytics in one suite. Each app (VOORSPEL®, KOLLIG®, BESKIKBAAR®, WERKSMAG®, VOORSIENING®, STOLO® and HAAFEXCHANGE®) covers a part of the operation and they all share the same data.
- Which apps are included in the suite? — The core suite covers prediction & analytics (VOORSPEL®), condition monitoring (KOLLIG®), equipment effectiveness (BESKIKBAAR®), workforce & work management (WERKSMAG®) and supply & inventory (VOORSIENING®) — plus STOLO®, the app hub where you can install add-ons like Repeat Jobs, Bookings and ESKIA® (learning & development).
- Does Handhaaf work offline or in low-connectivity sites? — Yes. The apps are local-first: technicians can create work orders, complete inspections and capture photos with no signal at all. Changes queue locally and sync to the workspace automatically when connectivity returns.
- Can Handhaaf connect to our ERP or accounting system? — The Integrations catalogue covers ERP and accounting systems (SAP, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, Xero), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and productivity tools (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack) — syncing items like suppliers, purchase orders, assets and schedules.
- How does the purchase-to-stock workflow work? — Low stock, a forecasted failure or a technician's part request on a work order can raise a purchase request. Once approved it becomes a purchase order; when the goods are received, stock levels update and the requester is notified — the technician sees the part arrive without chasing the storeroom.
- Is our operational data secure? — Workspace data is partitioned per organization and tenant-scoped end to end. Access is role-based (viewer, member, admin, owner), credentials for third-party integrations are stored server-side and never shown again, and audit logging records activity across the workspace.
- How long does implementation take? — Most teams are capturing work within days: import your asset register, set locations and teams, and connect sensors where needed. Industry templates and the app catalog let you roll out capability by capability instead of a big-bang rollout.
- Do we need sensors to benefit, or can we start without hardware? — You can start with the CMMS layer — work orders, assets, inventory and schedules — with no hardware at all. Condition-monitoring sensors add live telemetry and prediction on top when you're ready.
- Can we migrate from our current CMMS or spreadsheets? — Yes. Asset registers, parts catalogues and maintenance plans can be imported, and integrations can keep ERP-side records in sync during transition. Our team can help structure the migration in a demo or onboarding session.
- How is pricing structured? — Pricing is tailored to your operation — the assets you monitor, the apps you use and the hardware you deploy. Use the pricing page's estimator for a ballpark, or book a demo for a tailored quote.
- What support is available after rollout? — The Help Center covers setup guides and how-tos, Handhaaf Academy offers structured courses for your team, and customers get in-app messaging and direct support channels for issues that need a human.
- Can external contractors or customers get limited access? — Yes — external users can be invited with scoped viewer or member roles, with optional expiry dates, so contractors and customers see only what they need.
