Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, can bring your food or baking industry production line out from the problems and pitfalls of manual data and ingredient processes, and take your facility into the automated realm.
Two key problems exist with manual data entry and ingredient mixing. First, the entire process as well as finished product is dependent upon the exact mix, but the exact mix is prone to human error in terms of quantity of each ingredient. Recipe formulation in this case means nothing because the recipe was not followed.
Secondly, manual data entry encounters a similar but equally devastating problem: with the focus on production, data entry takes a seat, being left for after the mix is done. This time lag creates numerical confusion and lapses in data entry, and makes the entire data entry process all but futile. Without data of previous mixes, recipe formulation becomes highly difficult because the production values of all previous production runs are not valid.
Recipe Formulation Relies on Accurate, Automated Ingredient Mixing and Data Collection
With a recipe formulation system in place like this (where all systems are automated), bad batches and ingredient loss, along with inaccurate or lapsed data collection, are no longer an issue. Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking software delivers automated tracking, tracing, ingredient mixing, source information gathering, and much more ranging from preventative maintenance through its COGZ module, to production simulations played out in the system rather than on the shop floor.
