Ketsol/Industries

Six industries we know well enough to argue with.

Every plant is different — the regulatory pressure, the asset mix, the unit operations. Here's what we've built and where, and the use cases KMS solves out of the box.

Pharma

Solid & liquid dose, API.

Validation-aware automation across granulation, blending, coating, FBD, compression and packaging. KMS sits over your DCS as a 21 CFR Part 11 historian + electronic batch reporter.

Electronic batch records

Auto-compiled from PLC tag history with audit trail and reviewer-by-exception flow.

Granulation golden batch

Overlay every batch on the historical golden, flag drift in real time.

Cleaning verification

CIP/SIP cycle proof from temperature & conductivity tags, no manual logbook.

Annex 11 compliance

RBAC, e-sign, audit trail, periodic review reports baked in.

Food & Beverage

Process to packaging.

Recipe-driven dosing, CIP/SIP verification, line OEE and SKU-level production reporting — across dairy, brewing, beverages, snacks and ready-meals.

Line OEE per SKU

Availability, performance and quality split, broken down by changeover and SKU.

Downtime reasoning

Every stop classified at the line — operator confirms a one-tap reason on the andon.

Recipe management

Recipes pushed to PLC with version control, approvals and rollback.

Energy per case

Live kWh / m³ / case with anomaly alerts when the line drifts.

Automotive

Press shop to assembly.

Cycle-time analytics, andon escalation, weld & torque traceability per VIN. Works with both Tier-1 OEM stamping plants and component manufacturers.

Andon & escalation

Cell stops trigger tiered alerts; response SLAs tracked.

Cycle-time analytics

Bottleneck detection across stations with shift-on-shift comparison.

Robot health

Servo torque trends & ML anomaly to catch a failing axis before it stops the line.

Chemical

Reactor batch & safety.

DCS integration, S88 batch model, alarm rationalisation aligned to ISA-18.2 and golden-batch overlays for repeatable yields.

Alarm rationalisation

Top-N nuisance alarms ranked, reviewed, suppressed — with audit trail.

Batch genealogy

Trace every product unit back through reactor charge, recipe and operator.

Yield deviation alerts

Real-time vs. golden batch with operator nudges before it's too late.

Cement

Kiln, mill, packing plant.

Energy per tonne, mill load optimisation, predictive maintenance on critical drives — and packing-plant traceability through to dispatch.

Specific energy

kWh / tonne live across kiln & mills with shift & SKU comparison.

Drive predictive maintenance

Vibration + current trends with ML alerts ahead of failure.

Packing & dispatch

Bag count, weight CV, truck loading time — one dashboard.

Oil & Gas

Terminal, pipeline, tank farm.

Flow computer integration, custody-transfer logging, leak & rate-of-change alarms, and a unified SCADA view across remote sites.

Tank farm overview

Live inventory across tanks with capacity forecasting.

Remote site SCADA

Edge gateway over cellular with store-and-forward when the link drops.
