Your recipe, formula, or mix determines the quality of your finished product. It is for this reason that many processing and manufacturing companies have come to rely on scale systems rather than manual recipe scaling.
The problems associated with manual scaling include ingredient mixing and ingredient loss. With manual recipe scaling, the ratio of your ingredients is entirely dependent on an individual measuring out each ingredient correctly. This, however, does not typically happen, and bad batches are the result. Consequently, ingredient loss occurs because of the bad batch.
With automated scale systems, food processing and manufacturing facilities see dramatic improvements over manual scaling. With the exact amounts of the ingredients measured and tracked by computer, the mix is never off, and ingredient loss and bad batches become things of the past.
Greater Production Yields, Less Ingredient Loss the Result of Automated Scale Systems
Automated scale systems increase production and decrease waste and ingredient loss. Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, is a shop floor control system that utilizes automated scaling to increase a plant’s production and significantly reduce ingredient loss.
Companies using such a system, in their processing facilities see an average production yield increase of 5%, a 95% reduction in ingredient loss, and a 20% decrease in batch cycle times, leading to increased production availability.
