WHAT IS V5 TRACEABILITY?
Optimized Traceability for Agricultural Chemical Manufacturers
In agricultural chemical manufacturing, achieving and demonstrating compliance with regulators like APVMA, EPA, REACH, and GHS is essential—whether you’re operating in Australia, Europe, North America, or beyond. V5 Traceability brings together MES, QMS, and WMS into one platform to manage batch production, hazardous materials, and regulatory documentation with precision and accountability.

From fertilizers and pesticides to herbicides and soil conditioners, V5 ensures lot-level traceability, automated SDS handling, and labeling compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Features like restricted material enforcement, dangerous goods segregation, and expiry tracking help reduce risk, streamline audits, and provide the real-time visibility regulators and quality teams demand—globally and locally.
THE BENEFITS
Key Features and Benefits of V5 Traceability
Cost Control
Cut waste, rework, and off-spec batches with precise control over formulations and filling processes. V5 enforces accuracy to protect margins.
DIGITAL Compliance
Ensure EPA, APVMA, and GHS compliance with real-time lot tracking, SDS management, and label control—no paperwork gaps.
Smart Efficiency
Automate batching, filling, and routing with real-time visibility. V5 keeps hazardous goods separated, inventory accurate, and lines moving.
These benefits empower Agricultural Chemical Manufacturers to deliver high-quality products efficiently, securely and consistently.
MANUFACTURING EXECUTION
MES: Manufacturing Execution System for Agricultural Chemical Manufacturers
Precision Weighing & Blend Management
Control dosing accuracy for powders, liquids, and additives with scale integration and material validation—ensuring every mix meets formulation targets.
Configurable Batch Routing
Track and manage batches through mixing, holding, and filling—whether filling bulk bags, IBC totes, or drums. Configure workflows to reflect real process steps.
In-Process Quality Checks
Prompt operators to verify pH, viscosity, mix time, or other critical specs at defined stages. All checks are logged and tied to specific batches.
Digital Batch Records (eBMRs)
Capture every step of the batch process—from raw material intake through final packaging. All actions, inputs, and results are time-stamped and audit-ready.
Packaging & Labeling Integration
Generate batch-specific labels with GHS classification, hazard symbols, and traceable lot codes. Support for label printing at the fill station, directly tied to MES.
Hazardous Material Handling Support
Ensure materials flagged as flammable, corrosive, or environmentally hazardous are handled and recorded according to your site’s zoning and compliance rules.
Real-Time Production Visibility
Give plant and QA teams instant insight into batch status, location, and fill progress across the blending and packing areas—reducing downtime and delays.
Yield & Waste Tracking
Log total output, scrap, and overfills with variance analysis to highlight material losses, machine inefficiencies, or procedural gaps—driving continuous improvement.

Quality management
QMS: Quality Management System

Quality Event & Deviation Logging
Capture events like off-spec blends, tank contamination, or labeling errors. All incidents are traceable to batch, operator, and equipment—forming the basis for compliance reviews and continuous improvement.
CAPA for Regulatory & Process Failures
Trigger CAPAs tied to GHS misclassification, incomplete batch records, or unvalidated cleanouts. Assign actions with deadlines and follow-up verification to prevent recurrence.
Task-Based Operator Qualification
Restrict access to specific materials, mixing equipment, or packaging lines unless operators are qualified and up to date on required training—especially for hazardous or restricted-use products.
Incompatibility & Contamination Controls
Prevent cross-contact between reactive chemicals, pesticide classes, or restricted-use actives with configurable zoning, cleaning verification prompts, and hard stops during changeovers.
Regulatory Recall & Traceability Reports
Instantly generate APVMA, EPA, or internal audit reports showing every material lot, process step, and label action tied to a batch—ready for field recall, compliance inspection, or root cause analysis.
Audit-Ready Traceability Reports
Instantly trace raw flour to finished loaf across mixed SKUs and production lines.
Say goodbye to missing SOPs. V5 QMS brings total control to your documents—with live approvals and full traceability. Explore the full guide now.
Warehouse management
WMS: Warehouse Management System
Bulk & Bag Material Tracking
Track ingredients by lot, quantity, and usage method—whether delivered via automated bulk feeds, whole-bag additions, or manual pre-weighs. V5 ensures correct sourcing and sequencing at the point of use.
Inventory Zoning & Material Compatibility
Organize storage locations based on hazard class, material type, or regulatory restrictions. Prevent cross-contact by enforcing location-specific compatibility rules.
Material Lot Enforcement & Lockouts
Block expired, quarantined, or unapproved lots from reaching production. V5 validates material status before it’s released to mixing, whether sourced from silos, totes, or bags.
Pre-Weigh Management
Support manual pre-weighing of minor or sensitive materials with barcode validation and scale capture. Tie pre-weighed kits directly to batch IDs for traceability and proper staging.
Fill Point Reconciliation
Track actual dispensed quantities against planned inputs from bulk lines, IBCs, or sacks. Identify variances and log them as waste, overuse, or procedural deviations.
Expiry & Shelf-Life Monitoring
Monitor shelf-life status of critical inputs like binders, actives, or volatile agents. Trigger alerts or holds as materials near expiration or exceed storage durations.
Compliance-Ready Movement Logs
Maintain detailed, timestamped records of all material receipts, transfers, usage, and scrappage. Generate movement histories on demand for audits or traceability events.

Lost ingredients, overstock, expired product? Not anymore. See how V5 WMS brings real-time inventory control to Agricultural Chemical Manufacturers in the full module guide.
HARDWARE
