Cloud ERP Speeds Processing on the Plant Floor

Today’s food processors gain a key competitive advantage by implementing an ERP system that enables strong plant-floor management. Many processors indicate that traditional ERP software actually hinders their plant-floor activities rather than helping them. To get the most return on investment, food manufacturers should implement a solution that includes process instructions, recipe management, traceability and product genealogy, production scheduling, real-time ingredient control, production tracking, lot control and labor tracking. 

A comprehensive ERP system supports a food processor’s plant-floor activities in the following ways:

• Easy-to-use screens efficiently track all processing steps.
• Complete plant-floor visibility enables complete genealogies.
• Real-time, complete product data improves plant-floor productivity.
• Barcode labeling creates processing efficiencies.
