Inventory control software and tracking systems at food processing plants have become more than the norm following the FDA’s mandate to regulate and monitor food sources. Indeed, inventory monitoring and tracking is now required by law under the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. Title III of this law states that if a product is contaminated or “adulteration” of a given food product is found, that manufacturing facilities must maintain previous, immediate, and subsequent sources of the ingredients or food product so that the origin of the contamination can be found. Inventory control software and its food tracing capabilities helps companies become compliant with this law.
Inventory control software does more than this, though. It also allows companies to sync their warehousing with their production lines and work plans so that ingredients are available for use when production lines require it.
In another regard, inventory control software ensures that a company’s customers are satisfied with their end product. It equally protects the food supply and makes certain that the public is safe to consume food products delivered from a given food manufacturing or processing facility.
Inventory Control Software Increases Production
Inventory control software allows companies to increase production because of its ability to monitor ingredients. Food processing facilities can increase batch yields by 5% while reducing batch cycle times by 20% and reducing ingredient loss by up to 95%. As a result, higher production and increased profits become benefits of inventory control software like Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software.
