Food Safety
Food safety features for food manufacturing — HACCP, cold chain, corrective actions
Food Safety
Rela AI includes specific tools for food manufacturing companies that need to comply with food safety regulations (HACCP, EU 852/2004, ISO 22000).
Features
HACCP — Critical Control Points
Define the points in your production where food safety is mandatory. Rela monitors your sensor data against absolute limits (not statistical) and triggers corrective action workflows when deviations occur.
- Absolute limits: Unlike anomaly detection (statistical), HACCP limits are fixed. If your oven must be at >=165 degrees C, that doesn't change.
- Grace period: Configure how many seconds a deviation can last before requiring action.
- Corrective actions: Workflow to document what happened, what was done, and product disposition.
Cold Chain
Monitor the temperature of your refrigeration and freezing equipment with product-specific limits. Detect temperature excursions and record their duration and severity.
- Excursions: When temperature leaves the safe range, it's automatically recorded with duration and peak deviation.
- Auto-resolution: When temperature returns to normal range, the excursion closes automatically.
- Fleet view: Dashboard showing all your cold equipment and current status.
Corrective Actions
Document each corrective action with: description, who took it, product disposition (hold, rework, destroy), and affected batch.
Compliance Reports
Generate daily/weekly HACCP reports and cold chain logs automatically via scheduled reports.
How it connects with the rest of Rela
Food safety is not an isolated module — it integrates into the complete pipeline:
- Your sensors send data via MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus, S7, or HTTP
- The event pipeline receives the data and evaluates it against your CCPs and cold chain limits
- Anomaly detection runs in parallel (statistical) while HACCP evaluates absolute limits
- Notifications (WhatsApp, email) alert the technician immediately
- Tasks are created automatically for intervention
- The audit trail records everything for regulatory compliance
- Scheduled reports generate compliance PDFs automatically
Anomaly Detection
Machine learning system that detects abnormal patterns in sensor data without manually defined thresholds. Learns normal behavior for each piece of equipment and alerts when something changes.
