PRODUCTION
For a larger and more complex operation , a more complex traceability system is needed to deftly handle the twists and turns of your operation . “ If a manufacturer uses multiple components or splitting points , the best method is clearly a fully integrated software-based system , providing full data transparency for precise and fast recall ,” says Berli . While such a system usually requires a larger financial investment up front , the added benefits like real time data and stock optimization can far outweigh the costs .
Upping Your Data Integration “ The benefits of integrating data have been well communicated in recent years ,” says Berli . “ When it comes to the weighing part of manufacturing opreations , these benefits also apply .”
Traditionally , as well as intuitively , weigh systems have always been able to communicate weight . But today ’ s cutting edge weighing systems can measure much more than just pounds and ounces – they can also convey such information as raw material usage , finished goods production information , deviation from target weights , and configuration changes . With this information at the ready , a processor can gain the insight needed to improve and optimize the production process .
