As a plant manager or purchasing professional, where did you go to find the latest piece of food processing equipment your facility needed? Probably you went to a food machinery supplier. Even though this was most likely the correct course of action, your facility – with new machinery – may still be wasting thousands of dollars on ingredients, labor, and more.
A food machinery supplier provides only the machinery for your processing facility. The oversight of that machinery, as well as the oversight of ingredient mixes and recipes, is entirely a different story. Your brand new machine from a food machinery supplier may be producing bad batches of product because of manually conducted incorrect recipe calculations.
Automated Food Processing Software Links Food Machinery Supplier Equipment to your Business’ Bottom Line
By implementing automated food processing software, facilities can see greater returns on machinery investments. This is because the software works hand-in-hand with the machinery to generate exact ingredient mixes that human error often times cannot create. Further, through the automated data collection of the software, data entry errors that might have created a bad batch of product from various machines are a thing of the past.
Another benefit of automated food processing is that through retaining ingredient information such as the source of the ingredient(s) in a batch, food processing facilities will be Title III compliant with regard to the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. This Act requires that all facilities keep previous, immediate, and future source information on all ingredients they use, such that if one is contaminated, that ingredient can be traced back to the source of contamination.
