Pilot production and scale-up are where your lab-tested recipe is trialed in real manufacturing equipment and optimized for mass production. It’s about turning your bench-top beverage into a commercial product without losing quality, functionality, or compliance.
Goals of Pilot & Scale-Up
-
Validate your formulation under real-world production conditions
-
Adjust process parameters (mixing, heating, carbonation, etc.)
-
Identify issues with ingredient behavior, packaging, or machinery
-
Optimize cost per unit (CPU) and production efficiency
-
Provide samples for distribution, testing, or sales
-
Prepare for co-packer onboarding
