the problem
Quality assurance and control is a critical function for any food processing business. However, a lack of foresight means that it can often prove to be reactive, with small issues escalating into major problems. In addition, many processors face fines because they take too long to gather information for legislative checks.
the solution
Integreater’s QA Control module establishes a proactive approach to this important function. Electronic data management ensures that quality assurance is fully integrated into the production cycle and benefits overall business performance.
Integreater® has been designed to ensure that food processors can demonstrate complete traceability. It uses simple colour-code technology and production run numbers. This enables operators to immediately identify and isolate any problems, minimising disruption to the production cycle.
the result
Automated electronic data collection improves efficiency and accuracy, whilst increased visibility enables effective trouble-shooting. This minimises disruption, developing improved emergency management and overall productivity.
Integreater® allows processors to quickly and easily collate data and distribute it in a suitable format. It significantly reduces the risk of penalties or fines and ensures that businesses are best prepared to comply with legislation, customer audits and supplier assessments.
