Food and beverage production scheduling software plans and sequences production across lines, honouring the constraints that make food and beverage plants hard: allergen and product-to-product changeovers, sanitation and CIP windows, shelf-life and date codes, and quality-release timing. Bodhee does this as , rebuilding a feasible plan continuously as demand and the plant change.
Adaptive Scheduling · Food & Beverage
Food and Beverage Production Scheduling
that keeps pace with the plant floor.
When a line changes over, a sanitation cycle runs long, or a short-dated order jumps the queue, Bodhee rebuilds a feasible schedule in minutes across production, quality, and maintenance. Built for food and beverage plants.
Bodhee is the Adaptive Scheduling product family from Neewee, built for food and beverage plants. It rebuilds schedules against live constraints, alongside your ERP, MES, and quality systems.
The challenge
Why scheduling breaks in food and beverage.
A food and beverage plant runs on constraints most planning tools never model. Each gap costs capacity, waste, and on-time shipments.
01
Allergen changeovers eat the calendar
Allergen and product-to-product changeovers demand full sanitation and clearance, and legacy planning treats that lost time as invisible.
02
Short shelf-life leaves no slack
Perishable products and short-dated orders must run in the right order and ship on time, but static plans cannot see the clock.
03
Sequencing is a manual puzzle
Sequencing runs to minimise allergen and sanitation changeovers, honour date codes, and hit shipment windows is done by hand, and it breaks the moment demand shifts.
04
Quality and food-safety holds gate release
A batch waits on a micro or quality result before it can ship, and the production plan cannot see the lab, so the delay surfaces late.
05
Production, QC, and maintenance plan apart
Three functions plan on separate schedules that cannot replan together, so a hold or a sanitation window cascades into missed shipments and short-dated waste.
How Bodhee solves it
One live schedule across the plant.
Bodhee holds production, quality, and maintenance on one live model of your site, so an event in one function replans the others automatically.
One live model of the plant.
Production, quality, and maintenance share one live model of your site, so a change in one function replans the others automatically, not at the next planning meeting.
Allergen, sanitation, and dates, honoured by design.
Allergen sequencing, sanitation and CIP windows, and shelf-life and date codes are modelled as first-class constraints, so runs sequence to cut changeovers and waste.
Rescheduling in minutes, not shifts.
AI agents watch the floor and the lab, classify events, and invoke the scheduling engine within minutes, so a line stoppage does not quietly spoil a short-dated order.
What it does for food and beverage
Scheduling built around allergens, sanitation, and shelf-life.
01
Allergen and changeover-aware sequencing
Fewer changeovers, less waste.
- Sequence runs to cut allergen and product-to-product changeovers
- Honour sanitation and CIP windows
- Respect line-clearance and validation status
02
Shelf-life and date-code awareness
Ship fresh, waste less.
- Model shelf-life and date codes as live constraints
- Prioritise short-dated orders before they age out
- Sequence to hit shipment and delivery windows
03
Quality-hold-aware replanning
The plan that sees the lab.
- Replan production around micro and quality testing
- Sync lab capacity with production and shipment flow
- Surface release-timing risk before it slips a shipment
04
Cross-functional resynchronisation
One event, one coordinated replan.
- Propagate events across production, quality, and maintenance
- Assess cross-functional impact before committing
- Configurable response modes, from advisory to automatic

Frequently asked questions
Food and beverage scheduling, answered.
The questions food and beverage planners, plant heads, and IT teams ask before a pilot.
01
Bodhee sequences runs to minimise allergen and product-to-product changeovers and models sanitation and CIP time explicitly, so plans stay feasible and line capacity stays visible instead of being lost to hidden hours.
Yes. Bodhee models shelf-life and date codes as live constraints, prioritises short-dated orders before they age out, and sequences work to hit shipment and delivery windows, reducing short-dated waste.
Bodhee keeps a full, append-only record of what was scheduled and why, and treats allergen sequencing, sanitation, and clearance as scheduling constraints. It supports your food-safety, HACCP, and traceability programmes; it does not replace them, and lot genealogy stays in your systems of record.
Bodhee deploys alongside your existing , , and quality systems rather than replacing them. It reads orders, master data, quality results, and equipment status through an event-driven integration layer, and publishes schedules and recommendations back out. It integrates with systems such as SAP and Oracle.
Yes. certifies our whole-organisation information-security management system. Bodhee keeps an append-only audit trail, uses role-based access control with SSO and , and encrypts data at rest and in transit. Cloud-infrastructure attestations are inherited from Google Cloud Platform, not claimed as our own.
Traditional generates a plan and holds it until the next planning cycle, so it drifts the moment a line changes over or a short-dated order arrives. Bodhee's continuously rebuilds a feasible plan that honours allergen, sanitation, and shelf-life constraints, in minutes, not at the next planning meeting.
A typical Bodhee deployment runs 16 to 24 weeks across three phases: assessment and roadmap, plant-specific configuration and integration, then a parallel run into go-live. Bodhee deploys standalone or across production, quality, and maintenance together.
