Traceability for manufacturing compliance and quality

Recipe management from office to factory floor

The Stevens Management suite sits at the heart of our systems and gives you complete control over your production process with controls over your recipes from back-office to factory floor.

Using your PC, you can build and manage your recipes step by step, assigning any necessary weighing tolerances and quality controls to individual steps. Once scheduled for production, these recipes are then carried over to your weighing terminals on your production line.

Operators will follow the on-screen steps you have set and will be guided through the weighing and production process – with alerts and controls in place to ensure quality assurance.

Stock management and paperless control from goods-in

Better manage your incoming goods and materials using our stock control module. Use scanners to electronically book stock into your site with real-time data over the location, quantity, and priority of stock usage.

FIFO/FEFO stock rules mean you can make sure the correct lots of stock are used depending on your first-in-first out or first-expired-first-out requirements.

Real-time stock levels give you and your team up-to-date information at all times on your usage of stock. This allows you to make better informed purchasing decisions to save on wasted stock and ingredient costs.

Recipe weigh-up through to finished product and packing

Control your weighing processes with added efficiency and improved accuracies. Our systems utilise our Vantage 3 weighing terminals to enable precise weighing within allocated tolerances for every batch and mix size.

Once a recipe is scheduled for weighing, our terminals will walk operators through each step with on-screen instructions and lot number entry for verification of materials.

This includes quality assurance tools like questions and answers for PPE or washdown procedures, as well as on-screen prompts for allergens and contagions. Digital reports provide evidence of every single batch or mix that is weighed. This demonstrates due-diligence of your procedures and provides greater insight for yourself and regulators.

Lot tracking and batch reports available throughout

Add comprehensive, paperless traceability to your production process. From the moment goods are booked in they are assigned a unique lot number that is used to track and reference their movement throughout your business.

You can see where ingredients are kept, where they have been weighed, mixed or packaged and when. All this information is stored digitally with electronic reports on your production processes available at the click of a button.

There is a massive range of reports available to make record keeping easier, as well as producing evidence for audits – saving your team the headache when it counts.

Save on ingredients, administration and more

You can expect huge savings throughout your business by using the Stevens Traceability System. Consistent, accurate weighing alone can save your business thousands of pounds each year on ingredient spend! Optimised administration processes thanks to the digitisation of your production data can also save you huge amounts of money.
