Accurate data collection throughout the production process helps processing and manufacturing facilities recognize business efficiencies and operating capabilities. Many companies employ weighing systems to operate as quality control measures.
Weighing systems utilize sensors and scales at specific points throughout the production process to record data as well as ensure the proper ingredients are being used or put together in the correct way. In the food and baking industries, ingredient mixes or recipes absolutely determine the quality of the end product, so by utilizing the information that weighing systems provide, facilities limit ingredient loss, as well as recipe or ingredient mix over-scaling.
Weighing Systems Limit Ingredient Over-Scaling, Provide Production Quality Control;
Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software Helps Companies Realize More Efficient Production
Weighing systems are in use in many manufacturing and processing facilities throughout the U.S. Some companies have turned to automated, software controlled systems like Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software. Companies using such a system on their plant floors realize significant cost and ingredient savings. The system decreases ingredient loss by 95%, increases production yields by 5%, and because more batches can be produced in less time, batch cycle times will increase by 20%.
Over-scaling is also eliminated through using Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software. The continual data collection that the system provides through built-in weighing systems helps processing and manufacturing facilities to see a significant reduction in over-scaling of recipes, formulas, and mixes. Given that most recipes are over-scaled by about 6%, the elimination of this useless over-scaling only increases production yields. Using this system, companies can scale their recipes or ingredient mixes to whatever level or quantity they would like, and rather than manual scaling (which is prone to error), the automated scaling in the system delivers greater product quantities with less ingredient loss.
