Closing the Traceability gap
The new Process Traceability Manager ("PTM") is a major architectural upgrade to Carlisle's Symphony™ Manufacturing Execution System that allows for expanded levels of Traceability even with complex internal processes.
Our Symphony™ product has always supported a base level of traceability through the usual plant operations (e.g. recording of GS1 barcodes at receiving, packaging, inventory and shipping), which allows you to trace outgoing product to the incoming ingredients (including packaging lot codes).
But what if your process is more complicated, as in making sausages? You'll still have to record incoming lot codes of major ingredients (meat), minor ingredients (spices), and packaging. But on the production floor, things get more complicated...
In sausage making, as in many other food manufacturing processes, you may have distinct areas which prepare batches of ingredients or products (e.g. a spice room). These batches are mixed with other ingredients to create new batches. These new batches may require cooking or curing. They may be sent to other stations for processing. They may be held for quality inspection. They may be returned to inventory...
... all these batches, processes, and measurements need to be accurately tracked for full traceability, as well as for getting control of your ingredient inventory, your WIP inventory, and your finished goods inventory.
Introducing the Symphony™ Process Traceability Manager
Symphony PTM connects and co-ordinates the various production stations on your plant floor. Rather than being point solutions for weighing, labeling, and WIP tracking, these stations (running Carlisle's iCap™ version 2+) are part of a unified "Recipe Execution" system.
A Recipe is more than a list of ingredients to Symphony. It is a series of steps that are taken to ensure that your product is built with consistent quality.
These steps can be executed on particular stations, in a prescribed order. Quality control steps can be added, such as checking temperatures, recording operator feedback, and of course measuring weights.
