V5 for Meat & Sausage – Unified MES, QMS & WMS for Global Compliance and Control

For meat and sausage producers, precision is everything—whether you’re blending a heritage sausage recipe or packing high-volume bulk cuts for international markets. V5 from SG Systems Global delivers an integrated platform for managing Manufacturing Execution (MES), Quality Management (QMS), and Warehouse Management (WMS)—all in one powerful, compliance-ready system.

Whether you’re governed by USDA FSIS in the United States, Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 in Europe, or exporting under BRCGS or SQF requirements, V5 ensures full visibility, audit readiness, and digital traceability from intake to shipping.

“Since switching to V5, we’ve eliminated paperwork in grinding and stuffing, reduced giveaway, and nailed down lot-level traceability for all raw materials.”
— VP of Operations, A National Meat Provider

Real-Time Enforcement with V5 MES

V5’s MES system ensures that every batch is produced exactly to spec—no shortcuts, no missed steps, no tolerance for variation. Whether you’re weighing meats, blending spices, stuffing links, or managing cook/chill processes, V5 MES enforces process discipline across your entire shop floor.

  • Digitally locked recipes with enforced operator workflow
  • Integrated scale readings with real-time tolerance validation
  • Barcode scanning for lot verification and substitution prevention
  • Live yield monitoring and overage tracking to reduce waste
  • Direct printer integration for label accuracy and compliance

Operators are guided step-by-step through every task, and all device data is automatically logged. You’re not just recording what happened—you’re controlling it in real time.

Integrated Quality with V5 QMS

Compliance doesn’t stop at the end of the line. V5’s built-in QMS module captures every critical control point, every sanitation check, and every deviation from spec. No more disconnected QA logs or paper-based SSOPs.

  • Built-in HACCP enforcement using Codex and USDA models
  • Live SSOP checks, pre-op and post-op verification
  • Allergen cleanout enforcement and validation
  • CAPA tracking for deviations and corrective actions
  • Auditor-ready logs with electronic timestamps and signatures

“We can now prove exactly which pork trim lots went into each sausage run. That level of confidence is critical for our export partners.”
— Director of Quality, Regional Sausage Manufacturer

Precision Inventory with V5 WMS

The V5 WMS module offers real-time inventory visibility across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods. Everything is tracked by lot, location, and status—ensuring FIFO/FEFO discipline, compliance with export documentation, and full traceability to case and pallet level.

  • Lot-level traceability for meat, seasonings, and packaging
  • Real-time inventory by bin, cooler, or zone
  • Pallet-building with SSCC serialization and shipping labels
  • Auto-reconciliation of yields and rework from MES
  • Order staging and error-proof shipping confirmation

Global Compliance & Export Readiness

Whether you’re exporting to Japan, distributing across the EU, or shipping domestically, V5 keeps you compliant with global meat and food safety frameworks:

  • Codex Alimentarius for HACCP and hygiene
  • EU Regulation 852/2004 for food production hygiene
  • USDA FSIS for meat and poultry in the United States
  • BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000 for GFSI audit schemes
  • Customs documentation for TRACES NT and international trade

“We export to Asia and the EU, and each country asks for something different. With V5, our documentation is always complete, accurate, and instantly available.”
— Regulatory Affairs Director, Global Meat Exporter

One Platform. Total Control.

What sets V5 apart is not just its power, but its unity. Instead of bolting together separate systems for MES, QMS, and WMS, V5 offers one platform—one login, one database, and one source of truth.

  • Faster onboarding and training
  • Reduced IT and validation overhead
  • Consistent data across operations, quality, and inventory
  • Scalability across single-site and multi-site operations
