Bakery Waste? Not with V5.

Waste Out. Traceability In.

Total Bakery Control.

V5 from SG Systems Global eliminates the number one problem in baking: waste that no one can explain. When a batch fails, ingredients are trashed, and production time is lost—but the root cause is rarely recorded. V5 solves this by enforcing each batch step, capturing operator actions in real time, and stopping errors before they become waste. Learn more at our Bakery Manufacturing Solutions page.

Whether you’re making bread, muffins, tortillas, or pastries, V5 prevents overuse of ingredients, expired raw material usage, and undocumented mistakes. It brings traceability, QA enforcement, and inventory rotation into one live system—helping bakeries protect margins and product consistency every shift.

“Since implementing V5, every batch is consistent. We no longer worry about ingredient variance or operator workarounds—it’s all controlled.”
— Production Supervisor, Wholesale Bread Facility

Track Everything. Waste Nothing.

Without enforcement, bakeries rely on assumptions. Operators think they followed the steps. QA hopes the specs were met. Ingredients are used, mistakes happen, but no one sees the problem until it’s too late. V5 replaces that guesswork with real-time control—digitally capturing every movement, lot, and decision so you can eliminate the waste before it repeats.

MES Enforcement for Every Batch

Baking is a repeatable science—until it’s not. A missed step, skipped rest time, or misweighed bag can ruin thousands of units. V5 enforces batch execution with operator prompts, digital sign-offs, and hardware integration that ensures every gram and every minute is recorded and correct.

Enforced weighing and mixing procedures
Integrated scales and barcode scanning
Batch progress visibility for supervisors
Digital sign-offs and role-based approvals
Full traceability from ingredient to output

Automated Mixing with Full Batch Control

V5 connects directly to mixers, bulk ingredient systems, and dosing equipment—bringing automation to dough preparation without sacrificing precision. It controls flour, water, oil, sugar, and minor ingredients with verified dispensing, and automatically enforces mixer timing, rest stages, and dough temperature logging. Whether fully automated or semi-manual, every input is recorded and controlled.

Automated bulk dispensing for flour, water, oil, and sugar
Integration with PLCs, valves, and load cells
Controlled mixer timings and programmed rest periods
Dough temperature recording with enforcement limits
Seamless transitions between automated and manual stages

Real-Time QA & Batch Consistency

V5 QMS eliminates post-mortem batch reviews. QA release becomes digital, fast, and visible—cutting wait times and increasing throughput. V5 also enforces allergen checks, line clearance, and spec compliance at the point of execution—not after it’s too late.

Live batch record availability
On-line QA checkpoints and alerts
Allergen and hazard warnings
Instant QA hold/release status
Reduces rework and false rejects

“V5 gives us the QA guardrails we needed. Quality triggers catch issues before they escalate, so we’re not wasting product or time.”
— Quality Lead, Frozen Dough Manufacturer

FEFO Inventory & Ingredient Control

V5 WMS prevents expired or misrotated ingredients from entering production. Every lot is scanned, validated, and controlled by expiry. FEFO (First Expired, First Out) becomes mandatory—not optional.

Enforced FEFO material selection
Live expiry checks at point of use
Automated stock adjustments by location
Ingredient tracebacks from batch to receipt
Reduces expired material write-offs

No More Guesswork, No More Waste

Without V5, bakeries run on assumption: the operator *probably* followed the recipe, QA *might* catch a problem, and expired stock *hopefully* wasn’t used. V5 replaces hope with control—logging every action, preventing every mistake, and providing the data you need to eliminate repeat errors.

Complete audit trail of operator actions
Batch error prevention before rework is needed
Improved product consistency and yield
Reduced complaints, returns, and credit claims
Faster, clearer production decision-making

“The days of rework and scrap are gone. V5 enforces the process so tightly that mistakes just don’t happen anymore.”
— Plant Manager, Cookie & Snack Producer

Built for Bakeries. Proven to Cut Waste.

V5 is built for bakeries that need waste eliminated, not explained away. It standardizes operations, reduces ingredient losses, and gives you the control to grow without rework or risk.
