The production hall is filled with a concentrated atmosphere. All the raw materials for the upcoming order at are ready. An employee takes a quick look at the screen: The exact quantities for the next batch have already been calculated. A targeted scan of the label of the first raw material immediately opens a clear weighing screen. The employee precisely batches the material until the colour changes on the screen: the target quantity has been reached. Thanks to the ProRecipe XT®software solution from Minebea Intec, the entire process runs smoothly - from exact weighing of the ingredients to automatic documentation. What used to be laboriously and error-prone recorded on paper is now a digitally controlled, error-free process that saves time. "With ProRecipe XT® , we enable our customers not only to digitalize their production processes but also to make them significantly safer and more efficient," explains Lars-Henrik Bierwirth, Global Product Manager at Minebea Intec. "Thanks to the complete traceability and precise control of all process parameters, we are setting new standards in production safety."
Efficiency and Precision Combined
ProRecipe XT®ensures precise dosing and transparently documents all steps, from small batches to complex multi-component recipes. A typical application example in the food industry is the production of baked goods, where numerous ingredients have to be processed in different quantities. Here, ProRecipe XT®ensures that each ingredient is batched exactly and weighing errors are avoided. Thanks to the interface to existing ERP systems, order and batch data can be transferred automatically. Once dosing is complete, ProRecipe XT®returns the weighing data and consumption quantities directly. This saves time, minimizes input errors and ensures an up-to-date stock overview at all times.
In the food industry, where costs often have to be calculated sensitively, ProRecipeXT®scores points with its modular and attractively priced licensing concept. "Our solution is so flexibly scalable that both small and large companies benefit," emphasizes Bierwirth. "The user-friendliness and adaptability of ProRecipe XT® make it the perfect choice for any production environment."
