Candy and chocolate production has always balanced art and science. Operators rely on experience, intuition, and sensory feedback — but as production speeds increase and formulations diversify, intuition alone isn’t enough.
Traditional quality testing methods tell you what already happened. By the time lab results arrive, the batch is complete and the cost of correction is high.
PROGAZE® Changes the Timeline
tec5USA’s PROGAZE® spectroscopy platform enables predictive, real-time process insight through inline NIR measurement, shifting quality control from reactive to proactive. Instead of waiting for results, manufacturers see chemistry unfold as it happens.
With PROGAZE®, confectionery teams gain continuous visibility into:
This live insight allows quality and production teams to act before issues become defects — protecting yield, throughput, and brand consistency. Your Partner in Process Spectroscopy Solutions.
Turning Data into Decisions
What sets PROGAZE® apart isn’t just measurement — it’s usability. PROGAZE true process software is designed for a “hands off” approach, which means frequent interaction is not required with the operations personnel. Clear visualizations, trend tracking, and alarms transform raw spectral data into decisions operators trust.
That trust leads to:
Built for Industry 4.0 Food Manufacturing
PROGAZE® supports modern Industry 4.0 strategies, integrating with PLCs, DCS systems, and plant historians. This enables closed-loop control, automated adjustments, and long-term process optimization.
In a world where speed, quality, and consistency define winners, real-time insight is no longer optional.
