Data collection throughout the production process is vital to maintaining plant efficiencies and operating capabilities. Custom weighing systems operate as a point of data collection at many facilities.
Custom weighing systems provide accurate data collection by weighing ingredients via a sensor at a specific point in the production process. By utilizing the information that custom weighing systems provide, facilities can limit ingredient loss as well as over-scaling of entire recipes or ingredient mixes.
Over-Scaling of Ingredients Not a Production Problem with Custom Weighing Systems
Through the continual data collection that custom weighing systems provide, processing and manufacturing facility quality control personnel will realize a significant reduction in over-scaling as well as a reduction in ingredient losses.
Custom weighing systems are in use throughout many manufacturing and processing facilities throughout the U.S. One system that incorporates key facets of custom weighing systems is Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software. Through this system, companies will significant cost and ingredient savings: ingredient loss will drop by 5.5%, which leads to a 5% increase in production yields, and because more batches can be produced in less time, batch cycle times will increase by 20%.
Through the use of custom weighing systems, companies can scale their recipes or ingredient mixes to whatever level or quantity they would like, and rather than manual scaling (which is prone to error), the automated scaling in the system delivers greater product quantities with less ingredient loss.
