Food Processing

Control every gram of your formulation with scale-integrated precision weighing. V5 ensures exact ingredient quantities are used at each step, automatically logging batch weights and operator actions to prevent over- or under-dosing. Ideal for recipes with tight nutritional or flavor tolerances.

Adapt easily to complex manufacturing environments. Whether you’re running hot-fill soups, emulsified dressings, or chilled salads, V5 lets you design and manage multiple process paths with conditional routing, in-line adjustments, and batch-specific controls — all without custom coding.

Built-in prompts guide operators through real-time quality checks like temperature logging, pH testing, visual inspections, and metal detection. Each checkpoint is recorded digitally, with enforced sign-offs and automated alerts for out-of-spec results to ensure consistent product quality.

Say goodbye to paper logs. V5 captures every action, weight, adjustment, hold, and approval in a secure digital batch record. Records are searchable, exportable, and compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, making audits and investigations faster and fully transparent.

Automatically generate and print labels based on product SKU, batch information, allergen declarations, and expiry dates. Prevent labeling errors by tying packaging steps to the MES system with scanner confirmation and real-time checks for the correct label application.

V5 enforces allergen control with dedicated production paths, clean-down validations, and changeover checks. Built-in compliance templates support FDA, FSMA, GFSI, and global food safety standards — making it easier to pass audits and reduce risk across your product lines.

Monitor every batch in progress with real-time dashboards that display production status, operator actions, pause reasons, and line-level performance. This visibility helps supervisors act fast to resolve bottlenecks and maintain throughput without sacrificing quality.

Track yield at each stage — from raw intake to final packaging. V5 highlights where losses are occurring, whether from overfills, waste, or startup scrap. Detailed loss reports make it easy to identify trends, improve accuracy, and reduce giveaway over time.A

Managing version-controlled documents is critical in environments with frequent updates to ingredients, allergens, or customer specs. V5 provides robust version tracking for all recipes, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and cleaning protocols — ensuring the latest approved documents are always used during production. Historical versions are archived with full user/date traceability, so there’s never a question of what was used, when, and by whom.

When a batch goes out of spec, a label is incorrect, or a sanitation step is missed, V5 captures these events instantly through its built-in NCR workflows. Non-conformances can be flagged by operators, supervisors, or sensors — then automatically routed to the appropriate personnel for investigation. The system tracks every stage from detection to closure, including hold statuses, escalations, and corrective actions — ensuring visibility and accountability from floor to QA.

V5 embeds CAPA directly into the quality workflow, allowing you to systematically respond to recurring or high-risk issues. Root cause analysis tools, action plan assignment, and verification steps are all included. Whether you’re correcting a recurring metal detector failure or implementing a preventive measure after a labeling mix-up, all actions are timestamped and linked to the original non-conformance for full traceability.

Compliance isn’t just about process — it’s also about people. V5 tracks operator training status for specific recipes, machines, allergens, and QA tasks. If someone isn’t trained or certified for a task, they won’t be able to proceed. This prevents unqualified personnel from executing critical operations and ensures your team meets internal standards, external audits, and customer expectations.

Routine safety and hygiene checks are often where paper processes fall apart. With V5, you can digitize every required checklist — from glass and plastic audits to pre-op sanitation checks, foreign object inspections, and line clearance confirmations. These are triggered by events like shift changes, product switches, or scheduled intervals. Operators are required to comAplete and sign off each step with time-stamped verification, and supervisors are notified if anything is missed or skipped. This creates a fully auditable trail for both regulatory compliance and internal accountability.

Allergen mislabeling is one of the leading causes of food recalls. V5 enforces allergen segregation through line-specific controls, enforced cleaning protocols, digital pre-op checks, and changeover documentation. The system supports automated label verification, prevents unauthorized recipe swaps, and ensures that allergens are tracked from receiving through to packaging — with documented controls at every step.

Audits don’t need to mean panic. V5 provides real-time, exportable reports that consolidate production, quality, and compliance data inAto one place. Whether an FDA inspector asks for allergen logs, a retailer wants proof of label verification, or your own QA team needs a recall trace, V5 delivers instant access to the required records. Every ingredient, label, checklist, operator entry, and exception is fully traceable, making both planned and surprise audits low-stress and high-confidence.

Track every item from the moment it arrives. V5 supports barcode scanning at the dock, assigning lots and expiration dates during receiving. Materials can be directed to specific storage zones — such as chilled, frozen, or allergen-controlled areas — with system-enforced rules that prevent incorrect putaway. The platform logs who received what, when, and where it was stored, giving you full traceability from day one.

Food processors must maintain strict segregation between allergens, kosher/halal zones, and temperature-controlled areas. V5 enforces allergen zoning rules in real time, preventing incompatible products from being stored in the same location. It supports configurable zones (e.g., peanut-free, chilled dairy, high-care) and guides warehouse staff to the right zone based on the item profile and current warehouse status.

Whether you’re storing oil in gallons, flour in bulk, or spices by weight, V5 handles conversion between units of measure seamlessly. The system supports bulk silos, intermediate containers, pallets, cases, and individual units — all traceable with automatic reconciliation across packaging levels. Ideal for facilities that manage both micro-ingredients and high-volume bulk inputs.

Minimize waste and preserve freshness with First-Expired, First-Out (FEFO) or First-In, First-Out (FIFO) logic. V5 prevents users from picking materials or products that are out of rotation or nearing expiration. The system enforces shelf-life rules during both picking and production staging — especially important in chillers, where limited shelf windows can’t be missed.

Streamline outbound shipping with system-guided picking by lot, zone, and customer requirement. V5 supports staged order fulfillment with allergen-aware picking rules and temperature-zone requirements, ensuring that chilled goods and ambient products don’t cross-contaminate. Operators can scan to confirm accuracy, and warehouse managers get real-time visibility into picking progress and completion.

Ditch the annual shutdowns. V5 enables rolling cycle counts by product group, zone, or storage type — keeping your inventory accurate without disrupting operations. The system tracks count variance by operator, identifies shrink or misplacement, and flags systemic issues like overconsumption or label swaps. Real-time inventory views help ensure full lot traceability, even across multiple storage zones or sites.
