1. Receiving

Receiving Process Solution software optimizes the process of receiving goods for food processors of all sizes. It streamlines weighing, barcode scanning, label printing, and quality inspections, ensuring efficient inventory assignment and compliance. By automating tracking, reconciling, and managing incoming goods, it enhances efficiency and helps reduce costs. With the Receiving Process Solution, your company takes a vital step toward digitalization in modern food processing operations. 

2. Inventory

Automated tracking through the processing line monitors raw material stock to reduce loss and to age products to the optimal stage, a vital step in maximizing valuable fresh produce. Data on quantity, age, expiration date, location and supplier are assigned to each item as they enter inventory. Each item can be assigned to a stock location and the information used for production planning and scheduling. When items are assigned to production lines further data is collected on raw material usage, cost and origin.  

3. Processing and production 

AXIN Software gives you incredible accuracy and control when connected to your processing equipment. Software options give you control over individual or full processing lines such as intelligent portioning and trimming, grading and batching, vision units and RFID technology. The real-time data provides accurate and timely performance monitoring, counts, weight distribution and production forecasts to optimize profitability at each stage. 

4. End of Line Packing - EOL

EOL software simplifies and optimizes retail and bulk packing operations for small and medium-sized food processors. It provides valuable functions and tools to streamline packaging processes, ensure traceability, minimize manual errors and provide actionable real-time insights for improved decision-making. EOL software provides flexibility to make last-minute order changes which maximize sales agility and minimize giveaway. 

The enhanced abilities ensure your business is empowered to meet diverse customer needs, reduce costs, ensure regulatory compliance, and ultimately drive operational excellence in the final stages of production.

5. Final goods inventory

Finished goods are moved into inventory, dispatched or palletized and sent directly to stock following the packing process. At each point you know exact stock levels and all relevant product information such as age, expiry dates, and time in stock. Inventory transactions are performed scan-by-scan with mobile scanners, constantly providing up-to-date data. 

6. Labeling

Labeling Software simplifies the labels. Manage printers and printer settings from one place and monitor label image printing without leaving your office. Once the label is designed and assigned to a product, customer, or order, you can let the system do the rest. Labeling is utilized in both receiving and dispatch to create a comprehensive traceability system from source to shelf.  

Receiving: When limited data can be read from original labels, you can generate new labels for received goods to ensure accurate tracking throughout your production processes. Data from original labels can be automatically or manually imported into the system and transferred to the new labels.  

Dispatch: Operators can design labels with texts, rich text blocks, images, barcodes and line graphics using the simple drag-and-drop options and real-time visualization. Labeling Software selects texts and images from the database based on product, customer, and destination, so you can use the same label design even if you need to print the label in a different language.   

7. Dispatch

Dispatch software is designed to streamline the palletizing and dispatch process in food production facilities.  It improves the delivery process by building pallets for single or mixed products, assigning orders to shipments, and creating final dispatch documentation. This is the final step in a food production facility, providing verification of the shipment being closed and data to be submitted to a third-party system for billing and invoicing purposes. 

EOL and Dispatch software automate traceability, enabling fast and specific recalls which minimizes waste, costs, and helps safeguard consumers and your brand’s reputation. 

8. Office and leadership

Managers can easily transfer data from the full production process into external systems, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, to gain a complete overview of production and costing. This overview enables effective production planning which helps increase throughput, reduce giveaway, improve labor efficiency, maximize raw material utilization, reduce risk and improve food safety.  

There is no time limit on keeping or using historical data. Leadership teams can perform trend analyses over long periods and create summaries of data from the process chain to facilitate strategic business decisions. 

9. Reporting

Reports are easily created using up-to-date and historical data. With full line traceability a growing focus of the food processing industry, the ability to pull data and produce instant, accurate reporting such as HACCP audits and government regulatory checks, ensures food processors can meet the specific requirements of each report within seconds. Data is accurate, reliable and easily sorted, removing the struggle and risk of human error inherent in traditional paper systems. 

10. Quality Assurance 

Link all production processing steps to streamline Quality Control (QC). QC systems efficiently control, monitor and improve production quality by recognizing deviations and non-conformities from all configured quality specifications. QC software drives rapid and appropriate responses based on inspection results. Data from QC and production combine to enable visibility of quality trends, production variables and amplify traceability tracking.   

11. Recipe Management

The Recipe Manager solution ensures final product consistency by giving you complete control over recipe-based production, including office and shop floor processes. The software allows you to program master recipes, defining the steps and ingredients required to create your product regardless of batch size. It also allows you to adapt recipes even when production has started with full audit control. 

12. Order Management

Meet a critical element of your logistics process with fast and accurate order fulfillment. Order Management software manages orders at every step of production from purchase to sales orders. Functions ensure complete support to accurately manage even the most complex ordering, packaging and palletizing demands. When orders and productions change at the last-minute, Order Management gives you the flexibility to adapt with reduced response time. 

13. Dashboards

Dashboards make your production data and activity easy to read and operate. They can be viewed from any computer at any time, freeing managers from long periods on the factory floor. You can utilize the included series of standard dashboards and reports or create customized versions to meet the specific needs of your business.  

Monitor process performance and gather real-time data from your processing line to monitor:

• Employee targets
• Process line for yield, quality and throughput

The system generates standard processing reports that can be broken down by time, material, customer, order, and other parameters that are used for internal and external reporting needs.

Detailed production reporting with static reports and live dashboards

AXIN Process Solutions gather real-time data from your equipment to give you a solid overview of your production. The system generates standard production reports that can be viewed by time, material, customer, and other parameters used for internal and external reporting needs. AXIN Process software enables you to export data in various formats for further analysis easily. It also includes live dashboards that monitor your equipment and production in real-time so you can respond immediately to any variations.
