Eliminate Out Of Spec Batches

Recipe Traceability and Weigh Up Control full traceability

Recipe Traceability System

SG Systems V5 Recipe Traceability System is the perfect way to ensure ingredients weigh up control, without costly giveaway or out of specification batches. Brochure

The system ensures each weighed ingredient has enforced +/- unique tolerances, preventing recipe completion until all ingredients are weighed using the green speedometer style target zone.

The systems scans and validates lot numbers, providing real time inventory usage and eliminating costly traceability paperwork. For ERP Integration, see ERP Page

Hundreds of configuration options exist in the standard system, enabling each workstation to be setup to handle many applications including batch, campaign and combination weighing.

The system provides effortless compliance with auditors including BRC, FDA, GFSI, SALSA, AIB and provides compliance with regulations including FSMA

User Friendly Batching Screens

The V5 full traceability system allows management to schedule production jobs (or import from ERP) to 1 or more area specific batch terminals.

Each ingredient weigh up control has unique conditions (weighed, key entry, counted, bulk control ect) and jobs can be weighed in horizontal (campaign) or vertical (batch) modes, in sequential or none sequential modes.

The flexible Recipe Traceability System allows strict batch compliance, or the option to batch edit the formula or schedule on the fly.

Mixer Collation (Double Validation)

For customers wishing to scan pre-weighed / staged ingredients into a mixer or holding vessel, SG Systems offers a ‘Mixer Collation’ option.

Mixer Collation validates ingredient addition by forcing operators to scan each serialized ingredient label (pre-weighed or whole bag addition) before adding to the mixer.

Serialized Ingredient Labels are created at the point of weighing ingredients or at the time whole bags are moved from general inventory location into the staging areas.

Ingredient / Batch Labels

Many label printing options exist to identify Ingredient / Batch printing applications. (Click here for finished product label printing).

Standard Label Fields

Job & Batch Number, Recipe Code, Recipe Description, Operator Code & Name, Produced Date & Time, Batch Expiration, Mix Size, Batch Size, Bag Number, Weigh, Container Count.

Labeling Events (events which generate labels)

Ingredient weigh, lot change, batch end, container change, separate ingredients, non-weighed items, suspended / aborted batch.
