In the food industry, adherence to recipes is paramount. It’s what maintains the taste of the products your customers love. It also ensures health and safety compliance. NWI offers its own recipe-weighing software for food industry clients. From improved compliance to performance management, there are many benefits to using expert recipe software.
Easy-to-use interfaces
One of the most frustrating things about implementing new software is the complexity of it all. In many cases, software is designed to cover all bases, meaning it’s usually packed with features that most people will never use. This overcomplicates things, which is why NWI uses simple, easy-to-understand interfaces. Recipe weighing software shouldn’t be difficult to use, so we’ve taken steps to ensure that all workers can quickly and easily get up to speed with the new system.
More importantly, each recipe weighing system is tailored to your specific needs. The software is a standard solution, but our in-house team makes minor tweaks depending on client needs. This means you get a customised product that suits your specific needs. All the features you need, and none of the ones you don’t.
Record all ingredient data
Recording all ingredient data is an important part of maintaining recipe compliance. Importantly, our recipe weighing system records all ingredient target weights for every batch. It also records actual weight so that any discrepancies can be identified. You can program certain tolerances into your recipe software, because not all food processing requires absolute precision.
While this is great for compliance and record-keeping, which we’ll touch on later, it’s also excellent for operational management. Naturally, companies need to reconcile raw ingredient usage against stock and inventory levels. Having accurate records of all processes makes it easy.
Can be retrofitted
Another benefit of NWI’s recipe weighing software is that it can be retrofitted with most existing weighing systems. This is a huge bonus for companies looking to improve their operational efficiency without investing enormous sums of money in new infrastructure. If you’ve already bought your weighing infrastructure, our experts can retrofit the NWI recipe weighing system to ensure you’ve got the most modern software, even if your equipment is a little older.
Improved compliance and traceability
In the event that something goes wrong with a particular batch, you’ll be glad you’ve got reliable records in place. Our recipe weighing system keeps accurate records of all processes. For example, you’ll be able to check if ingredients were over or under on a certain batch. You can also check who the operator was at the time and identify anything else that may seem out of place in the process.
This is extremely valuable for major batch issues, and product recalls. But it’s also beneficial from an internal quality control standpoint. Being able to review batch processes regularly gives managers the chance to find further efficiency and areas of improvement.
