Recipes and product structure management
In case food processing becomes more intricate, recipes in most cases are the backbone of every production stage. Typically, this is a situation in which traceability becomes more complex, since several products, each with their own history (delivery date, batch, expiry date, supplier…), are mixed together to create a new semi-finished or finished product.
You want to remain transparent throughout the supply chain? IC-trace manages and calculates correct specifications of ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, recipes as well as any possible kind of client-specific product specifications.
Producing and promoting product alternatives
The market requires variance in products. Recipes might temporarily be adjusted to the season or maybe tomatoes suddenly taste more sour…
When you manage the product structure within the flexibility of IC-trace, any adjustments needed simply become effortless.
Example: baking cookies
When making dough for cookies, in many instances the same ingredients are used for different specific recipes. IC-trace allows you to automatically manage the batches of these particular ingredients, saving the operator a lot of time.
Example: Fresh meat and different cuts
In the fresh meat industry many companies apply ‘cuts’; these are definitions or guidelines on how to cut carcasses, mostly to fit client-specific requirements.
The IC-trace shop floor programs will guide the operator smoothly through all production steps, without unnecessary registrations by scanning.
