1. A method for monitoring a clean-in-place (CIP) process comprising two or more CIP phases previously performed, the method comprising:
measuring, using a plurality of sensors of a CIP system, data during each CIP phase of each CIP process of a plurality of CIP processes to define a plurality of CIP data sets, each CIP data set of the plurality of CIP data sets being associated with a respective CIP process of the plurality of CIP processes, wherein each CIP phase comprises one of a rinse phase, an alkaline wash, an acid sanitize, a rinse recovery, a chemical recovery, and a sterilization, each CIP data set including data measured by the plurality of sensors for each CIP phase of the associated CIP process comprising a total CIP process duration, wherein each CIP data set further includes at least one of a total amount of consumables used in the associated CIP process, a CIP system name, a CIP line name, a name of an object upon which the associated CIP process is carried out, and a CIP recipe used, wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is positioned in each of a water line used in one or more of the two or different CIP phases and in each chemistry line of a plurality of chemistry lines of the CIP system;
controlling, by a controller comprising one or more programmable processors, each CIP phase of each CIP process of the plurality of CIP processes;
controlling, by the controller, equipment used to perform each CIP process of the plurality of CIP processes;
storing, using the one or more programmable processors, the plurality of CIP data sets in a CIP library;
accessing, using the one or more programmable processors, the plurality of CIP data sets stored in the CIP library;
displaying, using the one or more programmable processors, at least a portion of the plurality of CIP data sets; and
providing, using the one or more programmable processors, a graphical user interface configured to:
organize the CIP data sets of the plurality of CIP data sets process data into at least one of: (i) a plurality of CIP phases or (ii) consumable data, and
sort equipment data according to one or more of the plurality of corresponding CIP phases or corresponding consumables.
