Keeping Complex Formulations Consistent at Scale

Systems that keep ingredients, batching, and production aligned across all runs.

Pet Food

Pet food production brings together complex formulations, ingredient variability, and strict safety requirements. When systems can’t keep up, consistency slips and compliance risk grows. Magnum keeps inputs, batching, and production aligned so every run remains consistent and traceable.

We deliver solutions for pet food manufacturers, including material management (major, minors, and micro materials receiving and storage tracking; minors manual kitting control and traceability; dynamic formulation balancing; material status and usage priority; inventory management; material dosing optimization), procedural control (products and clean-in-place coordination; recipe and formulation management; recipe procedures approvals and version control; enterprise to production floor orders transfers; campaign management; production scheduling; extruder and pelletizer; drying optimization), and equipment and production status (equipment arbitration and allocation; overall equipment effectiveness (OEE); material and equipment track & trace; production reporting; batch reports; formulation reporting; review by exception reporting).

Building Cyber-Resilient Process Control Systems: 9 Practical Steps to Protect Your Digital Investments

A single cyberattack can halt production, corrupt data, and cost you days of lost output. That’s why more plant leaders are asking the same question: how do we build cyber-resilient process control systems that reduce the risk of downtime and keep operations running? The good news is that resilience isn’t luck. It’s a disciplined, repeatable process you can start today. Why Cyber Resilience Matters Now Your plant floor runs on connected technology. PLCs, HMIs, SCADA platforms, and networked instrumentation communicate with each other and with your business systems. That connectivity drives efficiency, but it also expands your attack surface. For decision-makers, the …

The Competitive Edge You’re Missing: Why Controls Integration and System Integration Are Better Together

Running a plant, or multiple plants, means managing a web of moving parts. Equipment communicates with software. Software talks to operators. Operators make timely decisions based on data they are confident is accurate and available in real time. But when your systems aren’t truly unified, the web quickly frays. This is why it is critical to understand the difference between system integration and controls integration—and, more importantly, why combining them is a game-changer for operational leaders like you. What Is System Integration? System integration is the process of connecting your disparate IT and OT (operational technology) platforms into a single, cohesive …
