Ingredients & Dry Mixes

Master Dry-Mix Precision Through V5 Traceability Software

WHAT IS V5 TRACEABILITY?

Optimized Traceability for Ingredients & Dry Mix Manufacturing

Ingredient and dry mix manufacturing demands precise formulations, lot-level traceability, and strict adherence to food safety standards like FDA FSMA, SQF, and BRC. V5 Traceability unifies Manufacturing Execution (MES), Quality Management (QMS), and Warehouse Management (WMS) into one connected platform—streamlining intake from bulk silos, automating batching and blending operations, and ensuring accurate packing into finished bags with full traceability.

Built for complex, high-volume production environments, V5 Traceability helps ingredient and dry mix manufacturers enforce formulation control, allergen segregation, and labeling compliance across every batch. By automating workflows, managing digital batch records, and delivering real-time plant-wide visibility, V5 reduces non-conformances (NCRs), minimizes waste, and keeps operations audit-ready—ensuring consistent quality, protecting brand reputation, and accelerating order fulfillment.

MANUFACTURING EXECUTION

MES: Manufacturing Execution System for Ingredients & Dry Mix Manufacturers

The MES module of V5 Traceability transforms production by enforcing process controls, improving efficiency, and ensuring quality at every step. Key features include:

Batch Production & Work Center Management
Track the complete flow of materials through weighing, blending, bagging, and palletizing—real-time visibility into every stage of production.
In-Process Quality Verifications
Automate ingredient verification, batch weight checks, and bag weight validations—reducing manual errors and maintaining high-yield targets.
Electronic Batch Records (eBR)

Capture all ingredient usage, formulation activities, QC checks, and packaging data digitally—building a complete audit-ready record for every batch.
Lot Traceability & Pallet-Level Tracking

Link ingredient lots to final 50 lb bags and outbound pallets—delivering complete upstream and downstream traceability without complex serialization.
Built-In Food Safety Compliance
Support FSMA, SQF, and BRC standards with enforced allergen control, ingredient segregation, expiration monitoring, and packaging validations.

Quality management

QMS: Quality Management System

Quality is at the core of Ingredient & Dry Mix Manufacturing, and the QMS module of V5 Traceability ensures it is maintained throughout the process. Key features include:

Non-Conformance and CAPA Tracking
Capture quality issues immediately and drive corrective and preventive actions—reducing customer complaints, rework, and scrap.
Audit-Ready Quality Records
Centralize all SOPs, inspection results, and production checks—ensuring rapid response for FSMA, SQF, and customer audits.
Training & Competency Validation
Assign, track, and validate employee training for blending, packing, allergen handling, and food safety processes.
Deviation Logging & Root Cause Analysis
Document and investigate deviations during production or packaging—protecting product integrity and identifying process improvements.
Lab Testing and Supplier Data Integration
Connect lab results, COAs, and ingredient certifications directly to batch records—streamlining material acceptance and compliance.
Calibration & Equipment Maintenance Logs
Ensure scales, silos, blending lines, and packaging equipment are calibrated and maintained on schedule—avoiding out-of-spec production.
Approval Routing & Digital Signatures
Automate approvals for quality records, document changes, and batch releases with electronic signatures—keeping everything audit-compliant.

The QMS module integrates seamlessly with MES and WMS, providing a unified approach to quality and compliance.

Warehouse management

WMS: Warehouse Management System

Efficient inventory management is critical for ingredient & dry mix manufacturers, where precise control of raw materials and finished goods is essential. The WMS module of V5 Traceability provides:

Optimized Receiving & Silo Management
Track bulk ingredient intake by lot, monitor silo levels in real time, and automate receiving verification—ensuring ingredient integrity from the start.
Live Inventory Tracking & Expiry Alerts
Gain full visibility into real-time stock, expiration dates, and ingredient shelf life—powered by KPI dashboards across all facilities.
Efficient Picking, Staging, and Dispensing
Streamline raw material pulls for batch formulation and automate weighing, staging, and replenishment—cutting downtime and manual errors.
Batch & Lot-Level Traceability
Connect every pallet, lot, and bag back to its source ingredient and formulation—supporting rapid recalls and full audit readiness.
Automated Warehouse KPIs
Display critical warehouse metrics live on-screen: occupancy, usage rates, cycle counts, expiration exposure, and aging inventory.
Configurable Multi-Site Operations
Manage multiple plants, silos, and warehouses under one system—each with localized rules for receiving, dispensing, and storage.
Automated Recordkeeping & Reporting
Eliminate paper logs with automatic transaction capture, movement tracking, and audit-ready inventory histories.
