BRAINR Reviews & Product Details

BRAINR is a cloud-native Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platform that digitizes and integrates production workflows for food and beverage manufacturers. The solution combines APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), WMS (Warehouse Management System), and QMS (Quality Management System) modules to replace paper-based processes, manual data entry, and disconnected spreadsheets with a unified real-time operational environment. The platform serves mid-to-large food processing facilities, including poultry, meat, seafood, ready meals, and beverage operations. Currently deployed across facilities managing 30% of Portugal's poultry production volume, BRAINR addresses operational challenges specific to food manufacturing such as yield optimization, traceability requirements, mass balance management, and regulatory compliance across HACCP, IFS, and BRC standards. Core capabilities include: -Real-time production tracking: Captures shop floor data as it occurs, including ingredient consumption, work-in-progress (WIP), finished goods output, and quality deviations, providing full visibility from raw material reception through final dispatch. - Mobile-native operation: Android-based applications designed for high-frequency interaction in industrial environments, enabling operators to record movements, execute quality checks, and manage warehouse operations without desktop access, achieving adoption rates above 95% among shop floor teams. - Food-specific vertical logic: Includes modules for slaughter management, carcass tracking, portioning control, mass balance calculation, and automated give-away measurement tailored to food production requirements. Deployed installations report 3-5% yield improvements and measurable reductions in product giveaway. - Bidirectional ERP integration: Synchronizes planning data, production orders, inventory levels, and costing information with enterprise systems including SAP, Sage, and Infor to eliminate dual data entry. - Equipment and sensor connectivity: Integrates with industrial hardware from manufacturers such as Marel, Bizerba, Zebra, and MTech to automate data collection directly from production lines and IoT devices. BRAINR operates as a SaaS solution hosted on AWS infrastructure, providing automatic updates and eliminating on-premise server requirements. The platform generates a continuous digital audit trail that supports full product traceability and regulatory documentation requirements inherent to food manufacturing operations.
