Over 625 food equipment manufacturers throughout North America are members of NAFEM, the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers. Through providing various types of ingredient mixing and food processing equipment, food equipment manufacturers provide the necessary machinery for food manufacturing facilities to make their product.
But what happens when a piece of machinery developed and delivered by one of many food equipment manufacturers finds its way to a plant that does not have an automated quality control function in place? It does not matter how well the machine was manufactured, if the food processing facility is not monitoring the performance or the end product of the machine(s), then little can be done to increase plant efficiencies regardless of how efficient each machine is.
For instance, if ingredient mixes are manually quality control checked, human error is a continual issue. However, if a system like Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, is installed to monitor the production facility (including its machinery), then greater quality control outcomes will be realized.
The System Works to Monitor Food Equipment Manufacturers Products to Achieve Quality Control, Production Yield Increases at Food Processing Centers
Through this system, facilities not only monitor their product, they also monitor the machinery that food equipment manufacturers develop and provide. The system’s COGZ add-on, provides equipment monitoring to ensure that preventative maintenance is conducted at regular intervals, and to ensure that machines are functioning correctly.
Further, COGZ was specifically designed for the food and baking industries, and as such, it will provide preventative maintenance scheduling on machinery from food equipment manufacturers. Also, COGZ keeps track of equipment inventory throughout your facility, as well equipment usage history.
