The client is a medium‑sized confectionery producer based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, one of India’s major candy manufacturing hubs. The factory supplies hard candy, flavoured boiled candy and pan‑masala‑style candy across Madhya Pradesh and central India. They planned to upgrade old semi‑manual lines to raise volume, cut labour cost and stabilise product quality.
Challenges
1. Original semi‑automatic machines required many operators; labour cost kept rising.
2. Unstable cooking temperature led to high reject rate, uneven candy shape and colour.
3. Old equipment could not produce multi‑flavour, two‑colour candy for new seasonal SKUs.
4. Hot summer climate in Indore put higher requirements on cooling system efficiency.
5. Client needed a solution with reasonable investment budget, suitable for mid‑scale Indian factories.
