Record what comes in.
Keep intake references, supplier lots, weights, moisture readings and measurement sources together. Allocate recorded stock to the production runs that use it.

- Unallocated raw stock

You know how much you bought.
You should know what it became.
A factory can be busy and still be difficult to understand. Intake tickets, shift sheets, bag counts and machine logs tell different parts of the story. YeboForge brings those records together so owners and operations teams can ask better questions—and follow the answers back to the source.

By the end of a shift, you know how much maize entered the mill. Can you follow it through to the meal, by-products, and stock still in the process?
YeboForge gives those records a common home. Record intake weights and their sources, then allocate material to the production run that uses it.
Bring finished output, measured waste, water changes, and process stock into the balance. See the unexplained difference, with the readings beside it.
Open a batch to review where its feed came from. When a reading changes, keep the original and record the reason for the correction.
Capture machine stoppages and their reasons. Review production by period, and take a CSV report into the next operating meeting.
Start with one line, your existing scales, and a clear question. Talk to YeboForge about a factory pilot.

Starting with maize milling, YeboForge connects the records around your process. Your plant’s measurements determine the detail.

Account for what comes out.
Record finished product, by-products, measured waste, water changes and stock remaining in the process. Make the unexplained difference visible.

Understand the interruptions.
Capture machine stoppages and their reasons. Review downtime alongside the line’s production history, with source records available for investigation.

YeboForge puts the evidence beside the number. A difference is something to investigate. A missing reading stays missing. The result is a clearer conversation between the owner, production manager and factory floor.

numbers leave
unexplained?
Tell us about the process you want to understand. We’ll scope a focused pilot around one production line and a clear operating question.
- A process and measurement assessment
- Agreed definitions for yield and stock movements
- A daily material and production report
- Operator training and a review with your team
Implementation and a site subscription are scoped to your operation. Hardware, installation and specialist engineering are quoted separately after assessment.
Discuss a factory pilot
Give us enough context to make the first conversation useful.
Before you start
A few practical answers.
Do we need new machinery?
The first step uses operator records and existing measurement equipment. Any hardware or controller integration is assessed for compatibility and quoted separately.
Can the software explain every material difference?
It calculates differences from the readings you record and preserves their sources. The plant team investigates the cause. Stock timing, water changes, moisture, calibration and sampling all matter.
How are material differences calculated?
The balance accounts for intake, opening and closing process stock, finished output, by-products, measured waste and recorded water movements. Missing optional readings remain unknown. Source records stay available for review.
Can I try it with my plant?
Start with a scoped pilot on one production line. We agree the measurement points and reporting definitions with your team, then configure the workspace around your actual records. Plant installation and equipment integration are scoped separately.
