With the average percentage of over-scaling of recipes in the food and baking industries at or over a margin of +/- 6%, companies and processing facilities can realize hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost savings by utilizing automated custom scale systems.
Through the all-but elimination of bad batches when using custom scale systems, ingredient loss through over-scaling is drastically reduced and because there are not any more bad batches, there are more finished, customer-ready products and shipments. In this regard, custom scale systems create more sellable product and less ingredient loss (meaning that your facility can now use those ingredients for another recipe).
Further, custom scale systems like Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, have additional cost saving measures that food and baking industry customers can utilize on their production floors.
Custom Scale Systems Offer Add-ons in Modular Format to Help Control Other Plant Processes
Batch and Track offers true ingredient mixing capabilities, but that is not even close to all of the benefits quality control personnel can realize from the system. Through machine monitoring, the system will alert personnel of when maintenance needs to be done on a given machine, thereby eliminating the bad batch that would have been created using a poorly performing machine. Moreover, production scheduling and workplace template modules in he system allow for simulated production runs rather than facility floor tests using ingredients, machinery, and personnel.
Custom scaling systems like Vantage can help your company increase production and decrease costs. For more information, visit Batching, Formula Control and Lot Tracking.
